Please DISCUSS the changes and the impact they will have on gameplay.

Straight up whining and bitching will get you a ban, no exceptions.

^^ I wish people would realize Ghosts are not the problem. It's zerg insisting on making T3 units vs mass ghost, when ghost is an excellent counter to what? T3 units.

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.
Winners never quit, quitters never win.

i dont get the phoenix change. phoenixes were always better against mutas if you had micro, and they could always outrange them anyways. now it'll just be a bit easier. with the ghost change zerg is gonna have such a huge advantage lategame...i'm not even sure what terran will be able to do.

silver league talking at it's best, have you actually ever tried microing phoenixes against a good muta user?

Interested to see what pro Terrans do vs lategame Zerg now. With the exception of MVP there's very few who really seem to dominate with lategame ghostplay, most seem to only break even. Phoenix range buff is cool, love seeing phoenix play and this will make skytoss more frequent at least vZ.

Yey, a good balance patch! Ghosts still viable lategame vs Zerg, but does not destroy both BL and Ultras as fast as before. Protoss gets a bit more efficient for dealing with Mutas. Everybody's happy now :D


I agree. Ghosts will still be far from useless. EMP is still very important, despite the nerf it got. Snipe will still be vital, despite the nerf it's getting now too.

I just think that now, Terran will need to be a bit more selective on what to snipe in an army, instead of "fuck it, everything!" ^^

Give me 1 reason to make ghosts instead of vikings against BL now.
The only reason to make ghosts in TvZ now is EMP for infestors. And it will be 2 or 4 max.


Snipe is not being removed.

Doesn't blink stalker still beat it? Or are you assuming that both players randomly go phoenix (which would be kinda cool ^^).

All of these look like good changes.

Especially CPM ( how did that take this long? ) thank you for this one blizzard.

Terrans I know you might be mad but you have to admit Ghost v Z were pretty good.

Does any one wonder why they made it a range upgrade at the beacon instead of just a straight buff? Having to get the beacon /whine.


Yeah and you gotta admit that broodlord/corrupter/infestor vs t is pretty good, even if they have ghosts. 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.

300/200 fleet beacon plus whatever the phoenix upgrade costs is too damn high for this to be an efective response to mutas.

The Terran entitlement feeling ITT is disgusting. Sorry you can't just mass a single unit anymore and win every non-mirror matchup.


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.

The phoenix upgrade is smart: it means there is still a timing window for a small group of mutas to do exactly what zerg wants: buy map control, do some harass, and allow some expansions, but it means that a protoss responding with phoenix won't be doomed to let the muta ball snowball out of control, by making the theoretical micro actually managable.

We might see phoenix in PvT again too.

Wow, Blizzard is just raising the bar on everything. I'm starting to feel like LotV might turn out to be the single greatest competitive Esport of all time, if they continue improving at this rate.

Is the fleetbeacon idea good at all? It sounds like a great upgrade for Protoss, but isn't the fleet beacon a huge investment?
I don't know, someone tell me.

Nice! This really addresses many of the concerns that people have regarding balance. Although, this really hurts to see as a terran player =/

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!
