The nerfs to Terran from the last four/five patches are getting really annoying to deal with so a double Terran nerf and a Protoss buff is just, ARRARGH. ... MVP lost in TvT's, most due to his CTS problems flaring up. Jjakji lost in TvP's, but these Terran nerfs do nothing in that matchup, as others have stated. Gold bases are already non-existent in the GSL, and Snipes actually do +5 damage to many Protoss units now (Terrans only snipe Templars anyways...EMP is more effective for everything else). | ||

While I agree on nerfing snipe to some extent (like 10-15 damage) this just seems like an overkill. | ||

Snipe change is good for ultras / broodlord, but i feel that snipe NEEDS to 3 shot zealots, 1 shot non combat shield marines, banelings and zerglings and 2 shot hydras. unless david wants to make snipe an "only Caster ability", in wich case it should probably work on ravens too | ||

The snipe change is completely unwarranted and makes tvz lategame almost impossible to win. I'm not going to be bothered to try anymore playing lategame against protoss and zerg. It's too hard, i'm done for. Zerg it is. Trying to climb my way back to high master with zerg should be fun | ||

If snipe did 35 or 30 damage, it would still take more hits, but it would be more in line with David Kim saying they are "Slightly" too powerful. I agree with awesomoecalypse that the Phoenix upgrade is huuuuge. Phoenix are now, effectively, completely invincible against Mutas. Sure the Zerg can throw in a couple Corrupters, but they do such low damage and are so slow that the Phoenix's can still kill all the mutas before they take significant damage from the Corrupters. So what are you going to do in the meantime? You know, while you're waiting for a 300/200 structure to complete, and then waiting for a 100/100 or more upgrade to finish? That's a pretty big timing attack window. Can you afford to defend from the Zerg with an army that's 300+ gas smaller? I wouldn't be so sure. Oh, once it's done, you can make Mutalisks go away. But then their ground army comes over and kills you. | ||

It's obvious they don't want snipe to be used to damage beefy units anymore. They want it to be used to snipe casters (seeing as all t2 casters are psionic). I find it sort of weird that they're removing the ghost for TvZ yet not nerfing something in Zerg in return... I'd expect something like.. idk. Giving vikings a reduced damage taken against fungal buff or something. | ||
