Tech switch more zergs, you are the only race of the three who can max out on an entirely different unit composition in the matter of seconds. 3-3 ling/bling vs massghost, m&m and a couple of tanks? It's not even close. | ||

Terran already has to stop microing jus about everything to even pull snipes off and i cant even count how many times i just got rolled anyways with 10+ ghosts. Sorry Im not IMMVP n shit. Not sure why you use the argument that because you're not of MVP's level, you're gonna have a harder time winning, is your opponent DRG/Nestea/Leenock? No, then why are you worrying about level of play you'll never face? Blind balance whining is fail man. | ||

This is probably the best patch to date. I think my preferred nerf of Snipe would have been to keep the damage, but install a cooldown (no more than 5s) so you can't spam it like you can now. But this way was a close second. The range upgrade for Phoenixes should be an interesting one. I don't like that it makes phoenix micro absurdly easy now vs mutas, but we'll see. I'm not really sure about the MULE thing, but again, I guess we'll see. I'm not necessarily for the complete removal of gold bases because I love the concept, but it was just executed so poorly that it looks awful. | ||

I don't really know what to do vs BLs now, although I didn't really know anyway. I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THE MULE CHANGE. I really hope it'll stop some of the bitching I hear, and it won't affect me at all, since I can't macro to the MULEs@gold level. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't really know what role snipe will take now. Are infestors psionic? Ooooh, HTs are pisonic, I think. Hm. Maybe, I don't know how I feel about this change. I guess ghosts are really taking a beating in regards to balance. GOGO Blizzard! | ||
