No way that is balanced, it is fast as hell.

I dont mind amulet getting removed in PTR.. because theres no way HT can go in the actual game like that lol.. maybe removing storm research / making storm research 90% cheaper or something. I doubt blizzard would allow HT to have an even lower chance of actually being used often.. or maybe storm DPS will be increased..

does this mean fungal delivers dmg twice as fast and more dmg to armored units (aka marauders)?


Yes. Its a huge buff to the infester actually. They do a lot more damage per second now and I'm looking forward to using them more now. They were always kind of right on the edge of being excellent, and back in the beta when they had a more powerful fungal they got a lot more use.

Overall at first I didn't like this patch, but the more I think about it the better it seems. I think the stim nerf for example is perfect because it lets you get your baneling speed out against a stim push.

The archon toilet thing. It's 1.5 seconds on faster, it's like 1 second in real time. The units don't unclump that fast. This is to stop one attack from killing infinity -anything-. Go on the PTR and try it

I love it how all the bronze--plat players come out of the woodworks to have their say on the balance changes. Like they even remotely understand what the current state of balance is.

If you aren't GSL level, your opinion on balance is less then worthless, sorry.

Then how come these patches cater to bronze leaguers?


Blizzard's balance changes do not cater to bronze leaguers.

Every patch so far has moved the game towards better balance. I'll wait for the pros to speak their minds about this patch once they have played on it a good deal.

Blizzard is doing a great job so far, keep up the good work. I'm sure they understand how to design their creation more than a bunch of noob.

Because pros have a good, fair idea on balance, i.e. boxer calling zerg op or idra crying about terran or how many pros switched to zerg post roach buff

It's about carrier speed in the ptr.

At its normal speed, it's worthless.

Has anyone tested the "FG Missle" yet? If so how long is it for it to actually hit. It not being instant seems like there could be problems with blue flame hellion drops, any kind of drops (since you have to target the ground to FG and not the actual units), phoenix in large numbers and most of all stimmed Bio. Just curious to see how long the missle takes to hit if anyone knows

They also should have (at most) reduced the energy given by the amulet instead of removing it altogether lol -_-"

I'VE FIGURED IT OUT! This is my theory:

The templar ability isn't going to stay in the game. They put it in so that Protoss don't pay attention to the fact that Carriers lost the only redeeming quality they had over BCs: their speed. BCs are now the same speed while having more armor and a sexy ability, and firepower that can be reduced to zero and cost a ridiculous amount to re-up (interceptors).

Also, carriers firepower is hurt more by armor and carriers have no way of dealing with units with high armor (yamato).

So Toss just lost their t3 units, and terran just gained theirs... Switching to terran.

This PTR patch just confirmed my though long time ago that Protoss will continue to get nerf no matter what. This is because of the warp in mechanic.

Warp-in is a cool idea but too powerful and sometime gimmicking, that make balance PvX impossible.

A warp-in HT with one storm is sometime game breaking, it makes terran lose some fight that they should have win. (eg: 10 marauder die to a single warp-in HT). But w/o Amulet, HT can't be use very effectively.

If there is no warp in, a HT with energy to cast storm will have to walk from Protoss base to where the battle is happening, that give the Terran sometime to react.

I think the fair change would be no amulet but buff HT's starting energy a little bit, like +10 energy to its current starting energy.

Bottom line is Protoss with is cool warp-in mechanic is extremely difficult to balance, and most likely they will continue to get NERF.

First I'm soooo glad they removed clicking on the bottom hotkey area re grouping your hotkeys, I think a lot of people don't even realize when this happens, but if you've ever had your hotkeys randomly change in a game and you can't figure out why... you will be very thankful ^^.

As far as amulet change I've on a couple occasions players say the amulet is like an "I Win" button because it's so powerful. Someone on Sotg one time, maybe Tyler? If pro players feel that way it makes since that it would be removed, even if HTs are underused right now.

Fungal change is interesting, makes it harder to hit air (they did try to remove it from hitting air at one point, maybe this is a compromise), don't know what to think about this change.


Oh and TO ANYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT LARVA/MULE/CHRONO reminders, please please please try stuff in game before complaining about it. All they added was a reminder on the left side along with the other alerts, it in no way turns johnny bronze into having Idra like injects.

Again, there is NO SOUND ADDED for these buff cooldowns, really it's not going to be a game changer, you still have to look for it.

I cant wait to try FG against stalkers/marauder/roach balls now. 260% extra DPS on fungal vr stalker/marauder/roach balls is nice (twice as fast the damage is done, and an extra 30% damage vr armord)

Such a ridiculous patch, just another step backwards if anything, they are catering to the b.net whiners more then actually fixing what is wrong in the game. I dont think i even need to add more ranting to the thread cause everyone else has tore this patch apart already
