Massive units are not affected by concussive shells. If you think they are, you are wrong. It's SPORE crawlers that are being changed, not SPINE. Please read carefully. | ||

With the ghost change, PvT is going to be very, very dependent on ghosts now. It's going to be feedback vs. EMP all the way. Archons need to be EMP'd or they'll demolish your bio. HTs same. Mech styles are a lot less viable. Protoss will still retain all advantages given by warp gates late-game. | ||

I'm also curious what impact this change will have on TvP mech play. They were critical in a lot of compositions, weren't they? Are they still going to be as efficient there? It may be back to the bio drawing board. Or maybe tank/marine. Edit: And that infestor change may be a buff in disguise. + Show Spoiler + Losira | ||

It seems that blizz wants to force T v P to be pure bio + vikings. | ||

Thors are weak against so many things besides just HTs. It seems that blizz wants to force T v P to be pure bio + vikings. No, on the bigger maps, you can do a bio->Thor transition on 3 base and get an unbeatable 200/200 army that is mostly Thors. | ||

"It's taking away a new strategy from Terran before it's developed or really dominated so in that way it's kinda sad" Yea. It is. | ||

Thors are slow already, This just kills Strike Cannon completely, No reason to use Strike Cannon against toss because of Spell interrupt. Feedback will kick the casting process before a Shot can get off. This is due to the Mana cap and mana cost timing, which is after the cast completes. Which eliminates Alll possibility of using Strike Cannon in PvT. Because of the Cast time +Mana Consumption. Like Yamato Cannon, Strike Cannon is casted spell that takes a cast to complete, which can be interrupted via EMP. Now to use thors you must keep their Energy low, thus they will never be able to use Strike Cannons. Thus eliminating an entire spell from the game. This is saddening, Thors can still be used. Strike Cannon though is gone like Khydarian Amulet and Flux Vanes You realise thors used to have energy, right? 250mm was in the game then, it's still going to be now. However, spell interrupt is a viable point. Thors are pretty obvious when they're casting. It could probably be a little quicker to get off. I also still think 150 energy is too much. | ||

Yeah, there is also a reason why no one, not even pro's made Thors in TvP back when they had energy before. But the bigger issue is not that templars can just lol feedback them it is also the issue of investing in a Thor takes so much times that is is not worth it. It already has a really really long build time, it is extremely slow so it also takes a really long time for it to walk to your rally but on top of this you now also have to expect it to live until it saves up to 150 energy? It is NOT going to be worth the risk of investing in Thors because of the extremely long time it takes before they can pay off. Not saying the early thor pushes were a problem but this solution just removes them from the matchup completely. | ||

After they made the thors energyless they became viable and strategies using them were developed. If this patch should go live all it will do is turn back the wheel of time with a little extra nerf (50 energy more for strike cannons) on top and iam pretty shure that will go in terms of strategy as well. There was a reason why that change was made in the first place and in my opinion those havent changed. If now the early thor push is too difficult to handle for protoss (iam not entirely convinced of that but lets assume it for the sake of argument) increase the build time of the armory to make that timing impossible but dont take away one of the few viable non-bio lategame options terran has. There are few enough already and when the first change was made it was generally agreed to be a good one exactly because it gave terran this option. | ||
