That snipe change is quite massive. I felt (from watching GSL) that zerg lategame was superior to terran anyways. Broodlords and infestors being a deadly combination. Well, interested to see how this nerf (+slight buff vs infestor, making 2 snipes a sure infestorkill) plays out. | ||

I am surprised for the Phoenix upgrade, this should to be very nice. And finally, we got the old APM! Thanks God! | ||

Phoenix change fine. Snipe. Why so drastic? The psionic change makes sense but 25 dmg makes the spell worthless against all else. Why go from 45 to 25? Why not 45-35 or whatever? A spell crucial to late game TvZ and blizzard nerfs it by more or less 50%... errr. | ||

HSM is a blizz troll like carrier but even worse. Now if they made PDD block broodlings I could see some viability. | ||

But on the other hand, only 25 damage seems really really weak. Make it 35 and see how it rolls. Because it's true that zergs just defend till the late game and then try to win with broods or ultras (just because we cannot break a defensively positioned terran without being at least 40 supply up). And it's true that the terran needs an all-around solution, good for both ultra and brood. But as a SUPPORT unit. Marauders + ghosts to soften ultras up. Vikings + ghosts to kill some broods off before the engagement actually begins. 25 damage seems to severe of a nerf. I actually like the ghost transition in the late game but as a supplement to the normal army. Not 20 ghosts plus a few tanks = dead zerg army. More like 6 ghosts + tanks + marauders = dead ultralisk army. And then if he switches make some vikings. We need to be able to kill a terran who does not respond well with the switches. | ||

Now Blizzard has taken that option away without doing anything to boost the Terran late game which already is weak vs Protoss and now will be weak vs Zerg as well. So Terran players that like to play macro games are now forced to either 1) 1 or 2 base all-in every game? It is efficient but extremely boring way to play. 2) Switch to a race that actually is good late game? Please Blizzard if you nerf Ghosts like this you must do something to give Terran a viable late game. I really hope you boost Battlecruiser damage against ground. It is bad design if one race has to play against the clock in order to win. | ||

Wave after wave of broods or ultras (constantly switching) out of 5 bases and ghost just sniping the shit out of them. This is not cool. T3 must be painful to deal with. Not impossible but painful. Spam snipe + some siege tanks is easy enough. But on the other hand, only 25 damage seems really really weak. Make it 35 and see how it rolls.

July could've just switched to mass ling with a few blings sprinkled in and he's good? | ||
