Nerfing snipe slightly will be nice for late game tvz no doubt, plus making mules harvest the same from gold should fix that problem. The 'risk-reward' thing of gold bases is a good aspect of the game and now mules can't abuse it stupidly. | ||

Its a good change cause now ghosts kill infestors faster. So ghosts are still a must against broodlord infestor it just adds another micro dance between armies. Should the ghost be able to snipe the infestors, the vikings can swoop in for the kill on the air force of zerg, but should the zerg micro his infestors properly, he will be at an advantage. Its very similar to the HT/Ghost battle in TvP. Regarding the phoenix change, the fact that it needs a fleet beacon probably just encourages more air play IMO. not so sure about this but phoenixs gonna be such a pain now =s | ||

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). Sniping zealots wasn't the worst thing in the world you know... As for gold bases, the thing is they do exist in a bunch of ladder maps... | ||

Just scout hard and often. I'm supposed to scout 10 ultras popping at once when it's too late? Maybe they should use that april fools patch and make ultra eggs gigantic. | ||

I am afraid of them phoenixes avoiding my spore crawlers and still picking up workers. It probably doesn't affect Graviton's casting range. I'm curious to see how this extra range will work. You can even kite the fucking 2-3 corruptors Zergs could mix in their mutas ball, sounds good to me. | ||

This is going to make Terran even more micro intensice (having to control vikings) which is great at the top level, but lower league terran players are going to dissapear. Which isn't a good thing | ||

The problem here is that balance is (obviously) centered around the pro-gamers, because they make the fewest mechanical errors. You can't just give Terran ten extra buffs just because gold Terran players might have a tough time. Then we would see Terrans winning *every* GSL instead of only half of them (lol). The game would be even further away from balanced. A helpful thing to keep in mind is that the lower level of players should worry less about balance issues and more about their own mechanics. Getting your macro down, not getting supply blocked, and having a decent unit composition are all far more important in the lower leagues than the fact that Snipe is getting nerfed. It's about a million times more important. | ||
