 Ghost snipe, the counter to all Z tier 3 :D Overall a good patch. Not sure how it will affect the metagame but hopefully it will result in more protoss going for upgrades and a longer game instead of doing timing attacks | ||

 Always thought they were a tiny bit expensive on a relative scale, although my macro was never so perfect in the later stages of the game that it was a huge problem (except for the gas cost). And ghost radius being shortened = awwww yeahhhhh | ||

Because the price reduction is minimal rofl 25/25 for lvl 2 and 50/50 for lvl 3 and than 50/50 for lvl 1 on shields.Believe me,I'm a protoss,there is no reason for triple forge ever if you don't want to end up seriously behind which would happen even after this patch.Unless your in late game and you want to crono out that 3/3/3 quickly.Which again,makes no difference and won't change a thing. | ||

To be fair, Ghost being cheap on gas and expensive on mineral make it harder to get than if it was the other. Infantry is almost only mineral, and support unit you had are still mineral heavy ( 1/1 ratio like medivac, almost 1/1 like tanks, 2/1 like viking ) Terran always hjave to much gas after early midgame. :< | ||

For ghost change I dont really mind, the thing I do mind is that the protoss players will still whine like always unless the game "balance" is the way it was when PvZ was couple of months ago: sit on 3 base make coloss/void ray/stalker a-move win. | ||

It looks yellow because the outer ring is red, which contrasts with the green to make it look yellow-ish. That's not you being color blind, it is actually green, but it looks yellow at first. | ||

They made that change in hopes of the Ghost complementing mech better but since mech is terrible we rather it work better with bio. | ||

The upgrades are getting cheaper, not faster. And 1/1 melee and armor are not getting a decrease. Geez. | ||

As you say, people might notice that upgrades are cheaper and get them more, but that doesn't change the fact that the actual savings are minimal. The most interesting point for it that earlier shield upgrades might be more easy to stomach. So any opening that relies heavily on Archons might benefit from that. Yeah doesn't Huk use a very strange opening where he gets +2 attack, +1 armor +1 shield in some sort of way so it would be cheaper for him. I can try to find the GSL game perhaps. I think he used it this month. | ||
