I didn't say nobody would change their race in response to a patch ever, I just think that people that feel the need to use possibly changing as leverage are not necessarily more likely to change. Your two data points are quite meaningless anyway, it just seems to indicate (need more detailed stats though) that race distribution isn't static (amazing discovery that). there are plenty more "data points" if you could be bothered to use the drop down box. Every patch since 1.3.0 has had a reduction in the number of people playing Terran from the last patch in every league except Bronze and GM. On February 11 2012 03:45 Dauntless wrote: Great patch!

If it wasn't for the fact Morrow totally lucked out with two nukes on Broodlords up to that point the game would never have reached 41 minutes. It's a bit easier to make a few ghosts and get nuke and cloak than to get mass ravens and the upgrades. | ||

The EMP part is so true it hurts xD After the initial brainfart, I see there are a lot more psionic units than I thought. Oh I see now, it only hits biological. I thought it was "anything non-mechanical  " | ||

You might want to consider looking at how much worse the Terran T3 Units are in comparison to those of the other races before stating something like this. Thors and BC's don't require special counters by the other races unlike other t3. | ||

Problem is there is no other way not to lose lategame vs Infestor/Corruptor/Broodlord then mass ghosts.. And the only reason for thet is they won't be useless against next wave of 200/200 Ultras, or Ling/Bane or whatever.. That is my point. As you can see, Terran needs composition that is able to deal with Zerg at least "somewhat" effectively, otherwise it's just a race if you can kill Zerg before tech switching (banking 5k/3k) and having composition you can't deal with, end of story.. I think we need to remember if they are really THAT wrong, then they will revert it. Blizz has reverted things before ya know but its true that the ghosts really do too much damage to all Zerg hivetech. Just in the same way that archon toilet is problematic except for that a zerg if they spread well can avoid it, theres no micro they can do to really avoid mass snipe | ||

1. If you see 20 ghosts, you make ling/bane, kill the ghosts, and then make Hive units. Stop fucking wasting money on Hive units and feeding the ghosts. 2. Energy units help offset the fact that another race has way superior production. | ||

You can't compare them in that way and it's obviously the equivalent to Infestor/HT. 1 AOE and one single target spell. Similar cost. Yadayada. | ||

-cloak -remove 100 energy in an aoe (including on buildings), and also does 100 damage to shields -do 50 damage to any biological unit (now this is going to change) -has an auto-attack. Not only an auto-attack but a pretty damn good one that hits air and ground, and does extra damage to light -call down nukes -start with 75 energy Are you serious? This unit, on paper, looks completely broken, and you are complaining that it does 1 thing slightly less amazing now? Both infestors and HT cost more gas and neither has an auto attack. Infestors can do something like cloak, but it limits them to 1 spell. HT have 2 abilities, and 1 requires research. They can turn into half of another unit. A ghost nerf has been long overdue. And yes, I know the nerfed emp a patch ago. | ||

Phoenix upgrade is idiotic, no one will get a beacon and then a (probably) 100/100 upgrade while still being able to produce phoenix and everything else or even in a timely, useful fashion Snipe change is hilarious because its a +5 boost vs ht's which is totally unnecessary although not huge, but hilarious for lategame tvz where lategame winrate drops off dramatically Mule change is also just a gesture. No tournaments or serious matches are played on maps with gold maps anyways, so this is like...good for catching up to everyone else blizz APM change is only good thing about patch, which is fixing something blizz broke in the first place | ||

Vs zerg, stargate is much more viable. Voids counter roach Pheonix counter muta (and somewhat counter hydras). And as a mineral dump, zealots counter lings The fact that we are encouraged to get a fleet beacon means that while colossus are better, carrier is already available. From the perspective of the costs to switch tech, carrier may very well be the better option. The fleet beacon also opens up the benefit of having additional air upgrades. Prior to this I used to just get 1-1 for voids and that was it. I hate the mothership. At least the vortex ability. I think it should be changed or removed. Mothership should be a moving power field instead of have vortex. I would love to see recall more though (and I think we will see it in tandem with carrier play). I see zerg avoiding mutalisks because phenoix will wreck them just as bad as fungal wrecks phoenixes. Huge investment losses to be incurred. I think that meta-game-wise, zerg will just skip straight to infestors. I suspect we are going to be seeing protoss go for carrier/voidray/mothership and zerg will be going for infestor (specifically infested terrans)/hydra My suspicion on balance: As usual, zerg will lose a whole bunch of games and they will QQ but then they will figure out how to stop the protoss strat and then they wont lose to it anymore (timings / when to army or drone / when protoss is weak / how to read what they are doing) There is still a glaring hole in the whole PvZ matchup. Neither race cna viable scout the other. Protoss can use the following to scout (but only can be done after the 10 minute mark): - If you have an obs, you are kind of committed to robo - If you get halucination, that cost just as much gas as a robo. You probably have to go hateway play here. Not enouhg gas to get halucination AND hit any stargate/robo timing. - If you scout with a pheonix, you are commtied to stargate | ||
