Sounds like a really good and thought out patch, the phoenix change will be very interesting, perhaps stargate will become even more of a popular follow-up from FFE (although wont help me too much, since I far prefer gateway pressures and don't like phoenix). The upgrade being in the fleet beacon means there will likely be little affect on PvP, which I like very much since I hate phoenix ^_^. Mules change sounds great as well.

As for the snipe change, based on my limited knowledge of TvZ, it seems like it would be good but maybe they went a bit too far IMO? Like 35 +15psionic, instead of 25 +25psionic. That way, for example, banelings can still be sniped in one hit (one of my favourite moments in pro play was seeing someone hold a baneling bust with snipe). But I don't really, now I'm just a simple toss.

Looking forward to it

those terrans who are mad at blizz remember that terran has never been under 50% winrate in the tvz matchup. there is still marauders against ultralisks and vikings against broodlords. With this in mind terran needs to learn to scout in the late game and choose either one of those units instead of just massing out on ghosts.


Ok, I scan Greater Spier, I make Vikings -> I SOMEHOW kill Infestors/Broodlords/Corruptors -> Zerg makes 200 Ultras -> I lose.. Can you help me?


Dont bother explaining anymore dude..It's not in the zerg's plane of understanding that we CAN'T tech switch like them,and that our "late" game units don't force responds but simply counter their own units.I really feel that the next 6 months for terran are going to be terrible.Hoping for the best.Never give up never surrender!

Glad blizzard give a unit that has no use past the early/midgame, an upgrade at a late game structure -__- I'm sure it'll make the phoenix real viable versus muta now...

I wonder what will be the new TvZ endgame. Ghosts were terrans only chance in a long macro game. What do you do now, when the zerg has a huge bank? I guess, as usual, terrans will adapt. Looking forward to the next creative solution!

Does snipe take Armor+Shield into consideration? If not so it is actually a buff against toss as ghosts will snipe Zealots in 3 shot instead of 4. Other than that, I think it is a good change to otherwise very balanced TvZ.
As for the CPM/APM, more options are always welcome, but I think the CPM is not an accurate measurement tool compared to SC2Gears EAPM.
The Phoenix change is very interesting and while it helps vs mass Mutas it does require skill to pull off and it is a step in the right direction. It will be interesting how this will rebound in other directions (viable late game stargate play in PvP?? PvT Stargate play??)
The MULE change is necessary for ladder, much less for tournaments where they no longer use gold patches (at least not in the GSL)


Have you ever seen a pro using ghosts to snipe zealots?

Lategame, no. Early ghost pushes or defence after whole army EMPed probably. Doesn't matter though. Some1 already corrected me that this will take 7 shots to kill a Zealot.

Just highlighting some highlights from this thread, this is hillarious, please guys continue.


I think the whole tech switching vs terran is a reasonable concern. aside from ghosts, terran needs to be very specific in their counters.

every unit that is good against ultra is horrible vs broodlord and vice versa

Cool stuff. It was definitely ridiculous that the ghost, who's supposed to counter infestors, could just counter everything Zerg had. Ghost/Siege tank is a little ridiculous, and it was bad game design that T could just mass ghosts, and paid no mind to energy usage or how many ghosts they made. P has to be mindful of HT energy, and ZvZ is decided on who is more efficient with their FG.

Blizzard patches, as always, are way ahead of everyone else. It's amazing how much they really know about the game.

But hey, I mean, I'm sure many people would've preferred just broken mass ghosts and mass mutas and chat channels rofl. Thank god blizzard has their priorities straight.

Is it just me or does it seem like zerg and protoss won't be happy unless... well ever actually.

A zerg or protoss whining has more credibility than a terran whining, for some reason.

But there is a better solution: all in on 2bases

Maybe because terran has been the best race for the entirety of SC2 and the game is finally reaching somewhat of a balance point.


Best race in point of pros? Ok i guess that's correct. But best race for casuals? Hell no!

Against protoss that change was a buff, against zerg it was a nerf. TvP you are generally gast starved untill your 7th and 8th gas, and then still ifyou keep killing eachothers army you will be gas starved. But TvZ you have plenty of gas lategame and the extra minerals are nice for more orbitals/marines etc.

Wow! Best balance patch ever. I love it.

- The mule change comes straight from community feedback. Gold+Mule was a problem, that's why the best tournaments had remove the gold bases from their maps in order to balance the game. Maps with gold bases might be tournament-usable again, and the ladder maps will be closer to tournament-usable than they were before.

- Ghosts are still useful, especially if infestors are part of the enemy composition, but they don't own every lategame zerg unit anymore. We'll have to see more vikings against broodlords, maybe more marauders against ultras - and that's not a bad thing. Gone are the days of just marine-tank-thor-ghost against every zerg lategame composition...

- Protoss had one way to deal with mass mutas before: build just the right number of stalkers, position everything perfectly, and tech up to templars fast while desperately trying to hold 3 bases. Now there seems to be another option: Grab a bunch of phoenixes and, if the zerg keeps doing mass-mutas, grab the range upgrade! We might even see transitions to carrier now... I can dream, can't I?
