For example +2 shield gives the normal shield upgrade and only takes 75% damage from emp and +3 shield gives the normal shield upgrade and only takes 50% damage from emp. This would have made no change in PvZ, but reduced the "OMG my army is at half health before they fired a shot" effect. It would also make shields extremely viable in PvT | ||

The fade-in for game sound during alerts changed from .5 seconds to 2 seconds" This has been completely overlooked in this thread, but I'm a little unsure of what it means precisely. I know there have been plenty of times when I get an alert WAY to late. I hear the alert that my probes or my base is under attack (while I'm in the middle of microing a battle), then press space bar only to find the damage is already done and I was under attack 10 seconds ago. As I'm sure you know MMM or mutas can kill A LOT of stuff in just 5 seconds. Has anyone else noticed this? Please don't flame with the "you should be looking at your minimap", I can't argue that isn't true, but I should be able to rely on both my visual and audio sensory to be alerted of danger. These types of alerts are in the game for this reason. | ||

Actually going toe to toe with fully shielded chargelot/archon/possibly collosi will see your army absolutely demolished almost regardless of anything else. That's assuming you dodge every storm as well. I'll wait to try out the changes before crying further, however. EMP still exists and can still cause massive damage. I think the patch is meant to give templars some sort of possibility in the caster vs caster encounter. | ||

I swear, try doing just this build 50 games now, and you can say goodbye to your MMR Alright, not as effective anymore but still it showed the power of terran all-ins. And the 1-1-1 build remains a very well-known and yet still extremely difficult to stop build. Many terran players on TL have admitted they can get 90% win rates vs toss below masters level if they 1-1-1 every game. If you 4-gate against terran in platinum or diamond you'll win maybe 1 in 10 games if you're lucky. Vr all-in is better but will still only work about 50% or less. Still nowhere near as good as 1-1-1. | ||

The the area covered by EMP is 56.25% of what it was, that is HUGE for a balance change. | ||

In my opinion, if the problem was caster vs caster battles then snipe is what need a look because I'm much more likely to snipe your templaar then to emp it... | ||

Well EMP and Snipe both tend to take out infestors, high templar, and other spellcasters quite easily. You know what would solve both problems? Making the ghost's range shorter so that they couldn't get away with casting their spells over the other spellcasters every frickin time -.-' | ||

What kind of balance is that? | ||
