Morphing into BroodLord only cost 50 gas now?? good for Zerg but as a honest zerg player, i do report this...

Also Morphing into Overseer cost -50 minerals and 100 gas

which means we GAIN money for morphing into overseers xD


NICE!!!!! BUFFF!!!


If it is true, this is very very sloppy


lol thats awesome just morph overseer's all day. Profit! :D.

I'm really unsure why they revoked the FG missile.

Judging from the responses in this thread, most people thought it wasn't a bad change at all...if the missile speed is too slow, then just make it faster.

Blizzard seems to be taking an all-or-nothing approach to everything. I feel like that's the wrong approach.

About tiers -

I'm not the biggest WCIII fan, but I think that's where the "tiers" come from. For example, your first town hall was tier 1, upgrading to the next incarnation was tier 2, and the final incarnation was tier 3. It worked not unlike hatch -> lair -> hive, except I think all four races shared the mechanic.

In SC2, the races have a bit less in common so I think the "tier" idea doesn't work as clear cut. I akin "tier 1, 2, & 3" to "early, mid, and late game" units. So tier 1 for Zerg is lings, blings, and roaches. Tier 2 is mutas, hydras, infestors, and corruptors. Tier 3 of course is ultras and broodlords.

I really don't think the idea of taking every single step into getting a unit as a new tier to be very useful when discussing unit power/roles. Just to show how ridiculous that is, you'd have to say broodlords are tier 8 (pool -> lair -> infestation pit -> hive -> spire -> greater spire -> corruptor -> broodlord).


First of all, WC3 doesn't work that way. It does for the Humans, but even that is a carry over from WC2 (where it worked that way for both sides, since they were nearly identical).


WC3 works that way for all 4 races.

Of course SC2 doesn't work this way.

Zergs were complaining about how fly units are hard to hit. The ones who like it were Terrans and Tosses saying it would be "exciting to watch" or something like that.

I guess Blizz "really" wants toss to produce templars in advance.

First the removal of amulet, now the nerf to EMP which means templars that have been sitting around for hours cannot even be countered all that well by ghosts.

Why are you blindly inferring motives? I'm a zerg, I liked it. Not everyone is some blatantly cynical person considering everything from the PoV of relative strength of his race. If you think so, maybe it's projecting your own feelings?

A slow missile might make it harder to trap air units, but that is precisely what is needed for infestors. One infestor should not shut down all mutalisk/phoenix harass. It will still capture all slower air units such as void rays and medivacs.

this will be a decent patch ! good blizz ghosts/stimpack/bunker nerf, HT/mothership nerf and Infestor buff(they needed better FG) .. but the Amulet honestly should go with research time about - 140/150 seconds for same price and that will be okay.

i think amulet changes would be fine if they just removed the slow effect from concussive grenade on archons. Now its just a overpriced zealot, kinda. The changed wouldnt effect PvZ and in PvT you could still warp your HTs into archons if they dont have enough energy or gets empd when the attack comes and have them still be useful.

No I didn't try it out but I've only read complaints from people who did.

I inferred what I did because the other possibility seemed .. unlikely to me. But I won't argue with you about your opinions because I don't have a firm stand either. My bad then.

According to http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1213111662

ZERG

Infestor

Health increased from 90 to 110. -- This change has been revoked.

Fungal Growth

Stun duration decreased from 8 to 4 seconds.

Damage increased by +30% vs. armored units.

Now fires a missle instead of being instant cast.

This is so true and I wanted this for ages now. Archons are just so useless against MMM when they are affected by slow.
Would be such a nice subtle buff for Archons if they changed that.

silly how people are only mentioning high templars with this EMP nerf and totally forget about all those 200 energy sentries which couldn't cast FFs after EMP. That's gonna be big change in mid game where you need to control how many FFs will protoss be able to cast.

The EMP change says "up to"

does that mean EMP will drain 0-100 energy randomly or just if a templar has 65 energy current and it gets hit then EMP will drain 65

prolly the latter but just wondering

ummm....it should be a maximum of 100..Imagine hitting an emp, losing the ghost in the process, and finding out you removed 2 energy :D

I wonder, if it means, that 1 EMP can drain up to 100, AND second EMP can take another "up to 100", or it means, that 10 emp's on the same unit can drain max 100 energy per 1 sec?
