Protoss have to upgrade both shield and armor to get the full effective HP upgrade, so this makes sense. Terran needs to have separate upgrade for mech and infantry. | ||

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. You serious? Terran is by far most cost effective. | ||

I still think they misdiagnosed PvZ. They need to tinker with that sporecrawler more (or we're gonna need map changes). edit: HoTs changes are needed for TvZ. I guess dunno. Shakuras lategame just looks so hard for zergs once a certain ghost number is reached. Maybe if they cut the health a little of ghosts so that a fungal and some roach hits...? | ||

The reduction to the shield upgrade is ok, but the reduction for the weapon and armor upgrade cost boggles my mind. They cost the same for terran infantry already and terrans have to do vehicle upgrades on top of that. | ||

And Ghost become less "kill everything" and a bit more "counter caster". Mass ghosts still hit everything, but this change signficantly the mid game dynamics when you have few ghosts out. Can't wait to see some games on this patch :p | ||

Seriously good changes. I'd reduce the range of EMP by 1 as well to bring it in line with fungal + storm then they game's all fixed =D | ||

I think everyone's overreacting because it's the first time in a long time we've seen a Toss buff. It's definitely a step forward, but intuitively one can't imagine a major change in the matches. We'll see. I still think they misdiagnosed PvZ. They need to tinker with that sporecrawler more (or we're gonna need map changes). Don't know, the immortal buff sounds like a buff for me. | ||

also, to zerg who think snipe is good, tbh, just how many clicks you need to kill an ultra?? and you pretty much can't do anything else during the battle. if anything i think snipe should change to 50 energy 90 hp per shot. i think its actually good because if you cloak ghosts you can only fire 3 shots for each ghost (you lose energy while cloaking), it requires less clicking from the terran players while lowering the total number of snipes. | ||

Yeah I don't get the logic. Basically what it means is one EMP now covers 56.25% of the area it used to cover (having been decreased evenly about the circumference inwards to the origin). I haven't taken any math in a while though so maybe that's wrong haha. But yeah what do you mean, 3/4 ghosts are enough? | ||

Does this mean EMP has same radius as storm now? Edit: pre patch area was ~12.5, post patch it will be ~7. So fairly reasonable reduction, despite the fact 0.5 radius doesn't sound like much. | ||
