I expect many toss to try to take advantage of this earlier, sacrificing economy sooner, allowing for more timing windows. Most toss get the double forges relatively late, and still end up finishing their upgrades same time or faster. If they try to rush it, it would even out the field early to mid game. Death ball will come faster though, so late game is going to be even scarier... | ||

The emp nerf was really needed. Glad Blizzard finally recognizes ghosts are ridiculous. | ||

When playing PvT, there are three central ways to compete with medivacced MM: a) Colossi b) Templar/Archons c) Double forge gateway-based play which allows a wide enough upgrade gap to allow stalkers/zealots to take on MMM Obviously, the changes in this patch pertain predominantly to the last style. One of the problems with the forge-based style has always been its susceptibility to timing pushes from the terran. The reason why this patch is a GOOD thing, therefore, is because it will allow the Protoss to get out one or two extra units to help with the overall safety of the build. What it will NOT affect, however - given the fact that the timings on the upgrades are remaining the same, is the timing or relative power of timing pushes in general - such as blink timings in PvZ etc etc. | ||

Has anyone else played a close spawn game? I may be mistaken and actually played it in a custom game. The reason is the PTR is never updated with the most recent map pool from the Live server, strange but it has always been the case. Every time new maps was released, the PTR never got them. So basically on the PTR you are playing the old version of shattered temple. On the live server, there is no close position. | ||

Now they are a little easier to go for, because the small cost reductions sum up, while for single upgrades it still stays nearly the same. EMP is just too powerful vs Protoss armies. Fast Ghosts are not used against infestors (which are pretty fat) anyway, because tanks just deal with them pretty easily. Later on mass ghosts are usually used to chainsnipe anyway and apart from big infestor balls (10+), which are not great to begin with (and have been nerfed in 1.4.1) it doesn't change anything in TvZ. Just wished that they did something (small) about snipe (-5dmg or something like that) and something to make NP at least partially useful again. | ||

How many times have you seen ghosts dominate Zergs in GSL anyway? 2 or 3 times? Its not a problem unless you let the terran build up that ridiciously hard to get and irreplacable ghost/ tank army and a move in with nothing but broods or something like nestea. | ||

If you are stupid like that a lot of things are problematic I guess. | ||

Zergs need to stop crying about snipe (actually TL needs to stop crying about snipe in general) and find ways to adapt. people should really stop telling others to "adapt" or otherwise a kitten will die soon - seriously, people have been telling each other to "adapt" to broken stuff since release; adapt to reapers; adapt to voidray all-in; adapt to 111; meh to be perfectly honest, I seriously doubt that the EMP-nerf will matter all that much; the problem with EMP is that it doesn't require an upgrade, that the unit casting it can both cloak and run faster, that the range is higher than feedback....especially later on I've rarely seen a game where the terran has run out of EMP; mostly it's the toss "surprising" the terran with storms or feedbacks (meaning the terran screws up) or keeping templars safe carefully; the radius-nerf will only matter in that it's harder to EMP just about every unit the protoss has...but I really doubt it will change the way the templar vs ghost battles will be decided | ||

Bug Fixes Fixed a truncation on specific resolution if the current and maximum supplies are 3 digits. Fixed an issue which prevented footprint from being edited in the Footprint Editor.

TERRAN Ghost EMP radius has been decreased from 2 to 1.5 http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1213111662 Really strange, for what reason Protoss ground weapons and armor cost has changed. (for Shields OK) And why there is no reduction to FG radius along with EMP? P.S. For P EMP radius reduction might have sense cuz HT/sentry are really small, but now EMP is even more useless against really fat infestors, that is really worse for TvZ mid/late game. Maybe you should keep the balance opinions to yourself and out of the original post since you are announcing a patch ? | ||
