Ultras will still be a joke with Marauders, Siege Tanks, Thors...and the starport stuff that you guys should really start using. The only reason you've never used this stuff before is because you never really had to. Blizzard is saying "watching Terrans use Ghosts for everything is boring, use other stuff guys." Until the massive Ghost use started a couple of months ago every Terran played this composition and 85% of the games died to BL , Corrupter , Infestor or then techswitches that followed. Vikings are Thors are terribly limited units. | ||

pheonix additional range shouldn't count for the lifting of ground units as well... if it does... harass will be too strong. and yes~ snipe nerf = best | ||

This doesn't break terran late game. Rauder, Ghost, Medivac, Viking, Tank seems to be the best composition. Vs Infestor Brood -> Ghost snipe infestors to keep vikings alive to kill broodlords and fight corruptors. Vs Ultra Ling -> Rauder's take out ultra's with medivac support. Ghosts take out lings with +light. Tanks for zone control in each situation. Not to breaking. Mules on gold, we can see gold base's again. Snipe gets a buff to HT's. So you can snipe HT's almost as quick as they can feedback you. Seems fairer Pheonix range is expensive, but it is helpful so no more Destiny Vs. Mana on Tal Darim Altar games where mana can't do anything for the entire game. Pretty decent patch if i must say so myself. | ||

Flavor wise, the snipe should be more effective against the lightly armored units too - not just casters IMHO. Good patch overall though! Ghosts just melting Z T3 was just so wrong to watch! | ||

Sometimes trashy Z players forget that tech switch means more than switching between BL and ultra. | ||

Do they realise the APM required to both spam snipe, stim/scatter your bio, focus fire tanks on banes while avoiding a massive a-moving zergball, all done in a split second? Also you need a lot of time and resources to make a lot of ghosts AND have 200/200 energy. 19 SNIPES for 1 ultralisk? That will take around 10seconds to perfom alone... If they are going to nerf ghosts,at least fix some of the Tier 3 units so they are viable. Dont take something away without giving a solution. Just like with the Thors energy and their ability, this is once again an overreaction. Should Terran autolose once T3 units/infestors are out? I suppose it's time to change to a race that doesn't play against the clock. | ||

 Now opening ghosts in TvT certainly won't work no more which is a shame, and also snipe will be so much worse against zealots, what to do against those f*cking zealots!? Oh well guess I'll have to wait and see, but I'm worried. | ||

Blizz plz dont make the game less strategical. I think this is better than +25 to psionic and 25 base. I think that it makes a lot of sense  Otherwise, Im glad to see Ill get more options vs Zerg mutas - air ups past +1+1 -- and a range upgrade look nice. Ill have my fleet beacon for a mothership transition sooner. FFE into stargate is going to be solidifed as the standard for a really long time | ||

Could you now, please, explan what was my point as you clearly see it in such a detail that you can afford to be sarcastic? Okay so you scout that he has an Ultralisk Cavern, so you start making a few Ghosts. But then you lose your entire army to Mutalisk/Zergling/Baneling, and you want to complain about that? Instead of relying on Ghosts so much, make the switch to some Marauders, or you have the Ghosts which can Snipe the Mutalisks. I understand your point but really you are saying that it upsets you that you can make a switch to Ghosts but then lose to a zergs original composition. The Ghost shouldn't be an end-all-be-all unit. The problem is trying to patch a game for Pro players/Spectators and regular gamers, which is not possible. Terrans can be destroying Zerg late game at the highest level with Ghosts, but then regular players are relying solely on Ghosts because that is the easiest way to win. How do you want Blizzard to patch that? To be fair, I don't like the Snipe nerf. I wish they would have just increased the energy cost to 50 since the Ghost is 200/100 instead of 100/200 now. | ||
