Next patch we just need to make Ghosts research EMP, then the game might be balanced :D

Blizzard wasn't going to let the TvP stats from Korea go unnoticed

Protoss gets the buff it needs, Ghosts get slightly nerfed but they'll still be really good, so nobody can complain

I actually like this. ZvT is really close right now. PvZ is looking up (and this will only narrow that gap more), but I honestly think this will greatly reduce the PvT problems.

Wondering if we'll see a resurgence of the double forge build

While everyone is raving about the EMP change helping Protoss, I'm actually more interested in seeing its effect on late game TvZ where Ghosts counter everything. Hopefully Infestors will actually be usable now against mass Ghost with some decent splitting. Should be more effective at burning ghost energy if nothing else, so that they can't EMP and snipe everything.


I doubt it, I see terrans sniping infesters more often than EMP'ing them.

I genuinely feel bad for you zergs in the late game vs. terran, if you don't have an overwhelming advantage you can't win if the terran knows how to build ghosts.

upgrade buff seems reasonable to buff gateway units but maybe collosi/immortals or just collosi shouldnt share upgrades....

EMP nerf is good, but the upgrade costs are ridiculous, protoss doesn't need any straight up buffs with nothing taken away...it's already an impossibly difficult match with warp prisms and the last batch of buffs(ZvP)

EMP radius reduced by .5 - will that actually change anything seeing as 3/4 ghosts are enough to blanket an army anyway?

Seems like a pretty big balance change for a minor version number. This should make the double forge strategy even stronger.

Nice to see Ghosts nerfed, although personally I'd rather have Snipe weakened instead of EMP, but then I play Zerg.
For the swarm!

The most cost effective race with the most cost effective upgrades (affects robo AND gateway) having their cost reduced.

Man, I already had trouble in ZvP.. I know this is for PvT but man.. we were just getting to 50/50 again and now its going to swing the other way. +1 6-8gate timings are killer.

Problem is, the most cost effective race is actually Terran, not Protoss.

Also, costs for +1 upgrades haven't changed, cost for +2 upgrades went down by 25/25, and cost for +3 upgrade went down by 50/50. No, this won't break the matchup.

So its a savings 375/375 by the time toss is at 3/3/3? Doesn't seem all that different to me.

The shield upgrade cost reduction is a very good idea, but the others certainly surprise me a bit. The only good reasoning I can think of for it is to slightly reduce the huge gas consumption rate that protoss has.

1. +1 costs didn't change at all (armor or weapons).
2. I thought Terran was most cost-effective because of marines (and marauders, ghosts, etc. but especially marines)?

Keep in mind that Zerg Armor upgrades work on 100% of a Zerg ground unit's health, whereas Protoss Armor only works on anywhere from 66% to 2% of a ground unit's health.
