Pl also tend to forget the buff to the ultralisk building time.This made Infestor Ultra "timings"wayyyy more effective imo and tech switches far harder to fight. | ||

So because the majoirty of the ladder is zerg since all they have to do is camp until tier 3 and then tech switch for the win, lets make it just completely impossible to beat. Thanks blizzard way to be completely out of touch with reality. Not really Blizzard's fault, Zerg QQ is pretty much at a level consistent with at any time in release, despite them stomping Protoss more and more as the months go by, and just having overtaken Terran (according the most recent TLPD thread anyway). I mean if Blizzard ever patch on community feedback alone... Zerg will be fearsome! | ||

The phoenix change is interesting, but I'm not sure how big a difference it will make-mutas can still be produced so much quicker and a few corruptors will still destroy phoenixes Snipe change is good, but maybe a bit over the top I actually really like the gold base solution; the main reason for there removal from GSL was that they are unbalanced towards terran, but if that advantage is removed then gold bases could just become another interesting feature for map makers to use | ||

Just like Zergs and Protoss did serveral times in the past. When have zergs/protoss ever gotten a nerf that made them "nosedive" and then come back with new stuff? As far as I can tell the patching process has been really generous for them. Its pretty disheartening to see terran nerfed in the lategame where they are already at their weakest. Its not even a slight damage nerf, it makes the ghost-based lategame completely unplayable, and it was probably the best way to play lategame TvZ in the current patch. I guess Blizzard isn't happy until less than 1/3 of GSL are terrans, no matter how much better players they actually are. | ||

Mass Ghosts was not very fun to play or observe, just like bk in the day with HT and KA. Though the question is what will Terran do in late game TvZ where FG can counter both Vikings and bio?! Agree with the MULE nerf. | ||

As for snipe. GG. Now It's going to be used like it was in beta (never). snipe vs. muta... drones.. etc. Ghosts are just going to EMP and Nuke. They took the usefulness out of it in my opinion. I'd rather have 4 marines and 100 gas to boot. | ||

MULE fix is awesome. APM/CPM change is also awesome. Snipe change is overbearing and pointless... why does blizzard think a 50 energy to kill a caster snipe is better than a 75 energy drain/splash snipe? They should have just made snipe have a longer than .5 second cooldown so that it took multiple volleys of snipe to kill heavy units... EDIT: This is assuming graviton beam still has a range of 4. If Grav beam has a range of 6 then EVERYTHING CHANGES <3 You need to research it in fleet beacon, which is an expensive ass building (aka fusion core of protoss) So whait now you mean terran will have 8*10*25 = 2,000 dps 10 full nrj ghost (that can be casted in 1-1.5 sec). its still not bad... | ||

And Protoss players were complaining about being UP when 4 gate was ridiculous and Terran was complaining when 5 rax reaper was basically unbeatable. People rarely ever quiet their QQing, even if their race has a 75%++ win-rate in the match-up, it's just how people are. As for the patch, I don't know... Ghosts were too strong, I'll give them that. But I still think it should've been 35+15 instead. I guess we'll see how this works out though. I have a feeling people will catch on to the Raven's strength if ghosts don't cut it anymore. | ||

I dont see the Problem. The thing is that Terran took a nosedive some time ago after some big nerfs, but afer a month they ruled everything in GSL again desprite being nerfed all the time. I agree, that mid-level may be much harder than GSL statistics suggest. But I think its impossible for terrans. | ||

snipe -> seems a bit too harsh? also does more damage against ht's and um...other ghosts? I'd say 30 or 35 and +15 or 20 psionic would be a bit less harsh :S Range upgrade -> not sure. APM -> CPM change: Honestly CPM just reminds me of Cost Per Impression (in 1000 views) in advertising o_o;;, but. Nice change XDD | ||
