The last dot is not 25+ minutes, it's overall. Lat dot is infact the ~39% and overall even with a significant advantage early game, the crap lategame makes the win rate just above 50% overall. I think the last thing they should be looking at and nerfing would be terran lategame | ||

Essentially this. TvZ lategame was become increasingly hard as Zergs have learned that you can't just have straight up BL to win. With infestor/corrupter/possibly mutas to support BLs you needed impecible ghost control to deal with it effectively. This isn't even considering Ultras, which are arguably just as hard if not harder to deal with than BL, especially if used as a followup remax to the BLs. Maybe the nerf is justified at the tip top level of play but honestly what does Blizzard expect the rest of us to do? I think I've reached the same point as HypernovA and will simply give up on 1v1 for now ;\. I just don't have the time available to train like a Korean pro. | ||

Hey I have a good idea, lets make terran have to micro EVEN MORE STUFF. Meanwhile all the other races can just 1A and micro their one spellcaster = balance. Hey if korean terrans can do it, everyone else probably just has to practice a bit more right. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I mean, I understand them from a balancing point of view, but somehow I get the feeling that the starcraft universe becomes more and more abstruse from patch to patch. Well, maybe I should post some constructive solution instead of just complaining: - just decrease damage of snipe in general or up the energy cost - give calling down mules a cooldown (how long is up to discussion), that way you cannot "mass" call down mules on gold as well and it makes macroing slightly more challenging. | ||

Basically you can't snipe with ghost because you can't just go there into Broodlords, while your tanks are going to kill your own stuff.. You could unsiege to prevent this, but this is exactly what Zerg is waiting for, then you will get swarmed to death.. I mean, I see ways how to micro it perfectly so that it's possible to hold, but I'm by no means code a/s player and it requires significantly less effort from Zerg to control their army. | ||

The nerf is actually 67%(10/6). Only other nerf that was this monsterous(and comes to mind) would be the +100% roach supply back in beta. | ||

Now we have to split vikings, the thing that wants to stack the most in the game? It is so hard to fan out vikings if you bring queens with you or have any mutas left. I understand the idea is there, but practicality is absolutely absurd. Well similarly to 'oh Protoss get EZ buff, maybe should learn to micro phoenixes vs mutas' while of course simultaneously macroing and doing stuff. These can be done, but as far as I know the only player with such latent ability is the Automaton 2000. Statements that people have made such as 'all the community were crying for snipe to be nerfed' are so far off the mark as well. Snipe is good, so it should be, making that expensive tech switch while not dying is difficult, just because MVP and a few others have torn it up with Ghosts in a relatively small amount of matchups I feel is skewing people's view on the ability. Tbh fungal is just a ridiculous, catch-all ability and is my biggest single source of anger when it comes to any kind of balance in this game, far worse than snipe. However at least I have the decency to acknowledge that Zerg would struggle if it was significantly nerfed. | ||

Why don't you go play a friend in a custom game and start SPLITTING VIKINGS. this patch is only good for the balance of the game. Splitting Vikings is extremly limited, because when they go into range of the BL they automatically clump. "So why can't you do magigboxing Mutas do it?" Because Vikings are too slow and Infestor just fungal them all and spam infested terrans as soon as Vikings move out of tankrange. | ||
