This patch is going to cause a shitstorm among the Terran players on TL if it goes through in it's current state D:

I feel like snipe nerf probably won't pass completely in it's current state, probably will only be nerfed by a smaller amount, which I think is justified.

6 range phoenix? :O they're going to smash mutas so damn hard.

also, snipe nerf sounds about right.

It is a shame that you can't build early Ghosts in TvT to snipe Marine/SCV anymore.

Wow, these patch notes look fucking AWESOME

Mule's finally getting fixed, Snipe finally not gonna break lategame ZvT, and Pheonix might actually counter mutas in the way they're intended to. So fucking happy with this

Edit: APM change also much appreciated

Yeah... TvZ lategame will be pretty impossible without being able to snipe the corruptors :/ Vikings just don't deal with them.

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

um..what? are you sure you read my post?

you have to have utter flawless micro vs mutas, if you mess up once, that big muta ball fires 1 volley and kills most of your phoenix

that was my point. you had to have good micro to use phoenixes. now it'll just be easy

I feel that 20 damage is too much of a removal. When snipe doesn't even one shot a baneling or a zergling, something is wrong. Will be useless against zealots as well because the normal attack is just as strong as the snipe will be against light units.



this is quite true. isn't the ghost attack 20 vs light? and snipe is 25 damage? LOL??

I'm pretty sure he's arguing against your "it won't make a difference" point. Your reasoning being that it's theoretically possible to micro phenoix against muta is not really valid since people are not able to do that.

Pretty half assed change with the mule. Don't like the snipe change either, though it's a bit better than previously. Looks like Blizz is bashing the puzzle pieces into place again.

I wonder how the test relm is going to go with imba phoenix killing mutas all day.

Terran can still easily play turtle style. Ravens, thors, ghosts, vikings, tanks, PFs, nukes... A little more variety!

Big Snipe nerf but no Infestor nerf? TvZ late game is now as bad as TvP late game.

TvP already devolved into 2base timing attacks and it looks like TvZ is headed in that direction

By the time that upgrade is out it should be trivial to deal with, at least defensively. Not like their attack range is an issue for terran, and infestors will shut them down just as easily as before.

I like the phoenix upgrade on the Fleet Beacon, it makes the option to transition to Carriers more appealing since you already have the building and I think they definitely had that in mind. Still wish they changed the way it micros though, interceptors returning after a unit is killed if the carrier moves at all is silly. Making Phoenix's deal with Mutas better also eliminates the need for the AoE Tempest, so maybe they won't remove Carrier's after all. Either way I'd love to see a lot more Protoss air games.

Not too sure about the Ghost change and I don't know how the Mule change will affect things but I guess we'll see. It's also great they brought back APM due to feedback.

I like that they fix buff the Ultra by nerfing Ghost snipe against non-Psionics, while buffing the Ghost against psionics. Now Ghosts are how the were intended to be (at least, I seem to remember their description as being more anti-caster than anti-Zerg T3). It's like one big ball of nerf/buff that's pretty cool.

For the record Terrans that are complaining, Zerg T3 is supposed to be imposing. It's Zerg Tier 3. You let us get that far, and you're supposed to have to scramble. It's not my fault you didn't kill me before 20 minutes. I shouldn't be melted by Ghosts because of it.

I just overall really like the patch. An attempt at fixing TvZ's muta shenanigans, a weird buff/nerf for Terran/Zerg/Protoss with the snipe buff/nerf, and MULEs only extra mining from regular minerals? And when you combine the addition of community tournament maps to the map pool (both of which were included in the TL Map Contest, just sayin') people should really stop bitching about Blizzard not listening to us. They let some things fall through the cracks, but this Patch is testament to the fact that they know what we're saying. It's just that what we bitch about isn't necessarily reasonable/intelligent half the time.

My battlecruisers aren't imposing at all, neither are carriers, shouldn't zergs be punished for let toss and terran get to tier 3?

Did you read the reasons for the nerf? Currently, massing ghosts is too powerful in the lategame. They don't want one unit being able to really well vs all late game zerg units.


It's is only viable option for terran in late game vs zerg now. If you take that away then how terran will do late game?
