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. That's why you build void rays instead of carriers, silly duck | ||

Cant think of the way the new infestor will work. It seems like they very accuratly adressed many problems and that in a very good way imo. Great patch so far  Some things are still missing that would be nice if they'd adress them. Marines: Nothing really changed about the marine beeing so strong with stim. Yes the counters are harder now, but that doesnt make the marine less good. Colossus: For me they make the game to 1 dimensional, because they dominate ground armys to hard. Nerfing their dmg a little bit would be great, while the could need a buff on another level to even this out Neural Parasite: Its still a little bit odd. Too short duration Keep up the good work blizzard. | ||

An alert has been added when the Chrono Boost buff expires. An alert has been added when the Spawn Larva buff expires. Am I the only one who noticed these? High five? High five? | ||

This is to stop one attack from killing infinity -anything-. Go on the PTR and try it oh cool,well thats a consolation to HTs then,actually does HT nerf make Archons more vaiable? | ||

You can pretty much blindly go corruptor/viking now, expecting colossus first and throughout every game. And even if its templar, and you spot them late, they will have a smaller impact because of the delayed storms. Fungal change is nice if it's remaining at the same damage total? Will help defend terran drops. And +armor will make it work much better against roaches and toss balls. And marauders, i guess. | ||

The stim nerf makes me sad. The BC buff makes me happy. The HT change makes me happy. The UI/Custom Game changes make me very happy. The viking flower nerf (or rather deletion) makes me a very sad panda. | ||

- This will allow players to focus on moving up in their current league without being promoted during the final weeks of a season, and having to fight their way up from the bottom ranks of their new higher league." Could someone explain this to me. Why are they locking the leagues? I can't figure out why that would do any good. | ||

Switching to terran. I've never seen carriers actually being used. About the changes: a lot seems reasonable, I'm gonna check it out asap. Bit disappointed about the Zerg changes, I think it goes the right way, but I expected some more. | ||

So... are they saying that people don't get bump'd up and down from Grandmaster? Seeing the word Season, I'm thinking that means every ladder reset only. Have I interpreted this wrong? | ||

Also, FINALLY!!!! - A new menu option is available in the Gameplay tab to change the behavior of Control Group Buttons. These can now be set to ignore mouse clicks or be hidden completely. Long overdue even if it only happens once in a thousand games. | ||

If you want to get promoted then you have to do it the week the new season starts. | ||
