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 | ||

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! | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

I guess, as usual, terrans will adapt. Looking forward to the next creative solution! i can see one thing: raven. BC sucks too much imo. But there is a better solution: all in on 2bases | ||

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. | ||

- 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? | ||
