Wow... It seems like Protoss got massively nerfed. I can somewhat understand the High Templar nerf, but it really seems like they made the Mothership completely useless in order to avoid a pretty situational tactic (Archon toilet)... I suppose we'll see how it works out if these changes actually do go into effect.

Battle.net
- Fixed a bug where some Bronze players weren't gaining enough points for wins and were losing too many points for losses.


This is actually pretty hilarious.

No insta-storms is disappointing, but what's really sad is further nerfing the mothership. Seriously, vortex seems to benefit your enemy as it gives them 1.5 seconds of free hits. What is blizzard smoking? It's like they try to remove any tactics in the game they didn't originally intend for, which happens to be what made BW great. At least charge is more worth the 200/200 now against kiting stalkers/immortals

Also, lol at bunker further nerfed, was 30 seconds at ptr 1.2 and pre1.1, nerfed to 35, now going to be 40? It's seems blizzard is confused and embarrassed about the bunker. Also, stim gets +30 seconds? Damn, I'm seeing new timings coming up. BC buff seems interesting, actually a smart move here by blizzard.

I'm not too sure about funguu, damage buff seems nice but a 30% buff against armored units isn't much since armored units tend to be more beefy. Double dps but less stun means a smaller attack timing window but can the ranged units attacking you faster.

Only balance change that I wouldn't question is the BC buff.

Can anyone think of a situation where +30% damage to armor will be useful for infestors? Only thing i can think of right now is maybe to do damage to the stalker/collosus ball, but im not sure if the 20 health boost will be enough to get them in range efficiently.

I think the only explanation is that there's a significant error in communication, leadership, and organization that prevents the balance team from actually making any god damn dense.

Does anyone think these changes actually fix the balance "issues" that they perceive?

From what it looks like, they 'fix':

0.1) Terran bunker rushes to put pressure on economically greedy opponents.

1) The Terran ability to do an early Stim timing push (delaying it by 30 seconds)

2) The PvT late game "imbalance" by improving Battlecruisers and nerfing High Templar.

Apart from that, and a slight general buff possibly to an aspect of zerg play (infestors), and to zealots with charge, there isn't much else going on.

Does anyone think these were the only 'balance' issues in game? The other tiny changes won't really fundamentally change a whole lot in any of the matchups (some call the Infestor change a nerf as it appears).


Things like the protoss "deathball" are still unchanged. The zerg ability to put any realistic tier 1 pressure on a protoss is still pretty non existent if a protoss makes good use of forcefields, for example (would have been my hopes some some kind of adjustment).
And then 4 gate in PvP (and 4gate in general), altohugh I don't play P so I don't know much about the matchup.
HOLY CHECK!

For those who are all freaking out with some of the changes don't forget this is the 1.3 PTR. When we had the 1.2 PTR Blizz also tried some things that didn't worked and they went back on the changes.

So remain calm people. I bet in the next 8 days we will have some different PTR notes.

Consider this though, when Minigun was streaming, David Kim was talking to him and said (Paraphrasing) "Amulet feels to strong in the 'new' maps, I'm thinking about removing it", I can't fathom how Amulet is too strong on any of these maps

Wow. The most expensive unit in the game now. Huge zerg nerf if intended.

- An alert has been added when MULEs expire.
- An alert has been added when the Chrono Boost buff expires.
- An alert has been added when the Spawn Larva buff expires.

at least Blizzard made it fair to everyone at the expense of making the game easier

Why are the protos complaining about their game changing storms? It is just like a sentry now, but no they want to have a killing instand warp in units that just in one battle can swing over the favour completely. Rediculous, even late game units need to require skill so does the HT. And just please look at oGsMC before complaining, he destroys everyone in late game. Don't feel bad that late game protos is nerved. So is early game Terran, no more deathly stim timings, make it much more easy to safely expand as a protos player.

Crazy changes. But all of them make sense and I agree with them.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

probably mainly (or only) affects zealots vs bioballs. if the marines/marauders are stim-retreating/kiting the zealots could charge but by the time they attacked the bioball would be out of range so they wouldnt get an attack off before dying.

It means even with concussive shot, the zealots will at least hit once when they charge. Since as it currently stands, even with charge, a zealot can easily be kited and not able to do any damage. But now, they can hit once before they become useless and easily kited.

Don't see how 30seconds is going to curb any stim timings, if anything Terran are just going to use that 30seconds to build more units, then attack

I don't see how this helps protoss since you won't have another chrono boost to continue the chrono boost unless you were at 100 energy to start with... -_-
