So mules will be used on blue minerals only and phoenixii with the upgrade will just murder any number of mutas. I bet the phoenix range upgrade will be reduced by 1 within 6 weeks.

For so long T has been so dominant, and yet they're so vocal over such a small change. I don't get it...


Getting back to "dominance"... it doesn't really exist any more, Jjakji and MVP have won four GSLs combined and both got eliminated in the ro16. 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).


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...


I thought we were talking about the highest level of play (GSL)? I haven't seen zealot snipes be a game-changer in any game.

Edit: either way, you're mostly preaching to the choir. I'm just more worried about the potential TvZ problems now. TvP is what it is - nothing short of HoTS is going to fix that matchup.

Select's code a game; he used snipe alot.

The simple answer is don't overmake. The more complicated asnwer resides in what you have to do in order NOT to overmake vikings. 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.


Scout the Hive timing, watch for the Ultralisk Cavern going down? Come on man, really. Scouting is a lost art in Starcraft 2 because the game encourages people to be lazy.


You know what, I did this and I was kinda surprised to see 30 mutalisks/banelings/lings to roll over my ghosts.. See my point?


So your army was pure Ghost? Doesn't sound very viable to me.


You didn't see my point, sad..

great, now tvz is going to be exactly like tvp: scan to see the tech switch or die horribly. Now terran HAS to make either viking or marauder to counter hive tech....both of which suffer horribly to tech switches late game

so does this change anything about the Tempest for HOTS? Wasn't its purpose basically to counter large groups of light air units?

Snipe wasn't overpowered. The fact that snipe countered both tier 3 zerg units + infestors was. Buff ultras against snipe or something. Making snipe do 25 damage makes it almost worthless. That's only 5 more damage than a ghost's normal attack does against light units, and its 1 less than a +3 ghost does against light units. A snipe won't even kill a baneling.

I'm guessing Blizzard only wants them to be used against casters, which is strange because they already have EMP.

the range upgrade should be on, cybernetics core, but should cost alot like 150/150 or 200/200
fleet beacon is too much tech imho.

also snipe change is a huge buff in PvT

it doesn't seem much, but Snipe now does 10% more damage vs. Protoss

this means Ghosts can now 3-shoot zealots instead of 4

No, only high templar is psionic in protoss arsenal.

Either they did their math wrong, or I'm an idiot (which I could be, i just woke up).
ultra=500 hp
new snipe=25
500/25=20 on the spot, which means it's actually more like 21 snipes because of hp regen, not 19.

Anyway:
So that's 525 energy to kill an ultra.
With broodlords it's a similar story, 225/25=9, which rounds to 10, that's 250 energy

Essentially, in terms of energy, killing ultras has gone from 300 to 525, and broods have gone from 150 to 250.

Getting ghosts against ultras is pretty much out of the question, marauders are probably a muchh better substitute, which is probably what they were going for anyway. Now it takes 3 ghosts to take down a broodlord, instead of one (maybe two)

It's a FOURTY percent nerf to snipe.



On my own personal thoughts, I'd love to see this go through, I can't really see anymore complaints about terran being op with a huge nerf like that, no unit has taken such a big hit. Except maybe the.....whatever, I'm looking forward to playing terran if the patch goes through

Hmm, I think they should change Sniper Round to 30-35 + 10-15 Psionic. The posted nerf seems bit too harsh.

Ghost are now useless vs zerg. Thx blizz. (they weren't even really used in gsl).

Now I guess terrans need to use ravens/vikings to counter broods. Not sure how that gonna work.

I don't think you've ever watched the GSL. MVP and MMA always use ghosts against Zerg, with disgusting efficiency.

No, I seen your point. It just wasn't a very good one, hence my sarcasm. But that's what I get for trying to argue with someone on TL.

problem with terran late game is the vikings counter broods and colossi. But even if you win a fight, what will you do with the 10 vikings? landed vikings need to be stronger

As a protoss, I love this patch <3. The phoenix buff seems like its gonna be strong, but not something that will make mutas useless.

Snipe nerf is pretty damn huge tho, terrans will have to figure something new out for lategame TvZ.

Bringing back APM is cool aswell :p
