Please DISCUSS the changes and the impact they will have on gameplay.

Straight up whining and bitching will get you a ban, no exceptions.

Idra said ghosts were broken a couple of months ago. Everyone calls Idra a whiner because of it. Months later, the ghosts two main abilities are nerfed. Anyways, this is the best patch ever. Blizzard is FINALLY starting to listen to the community. This has me excited for the expansion and future balance changes.


You're right IdrA was the ONLY one complaining about ghosts

Did i say he was the ONLY one? No, I said he complained and everyone called him a whiner.


Its completely irrelevant anyways. He was neither the first nor the only one, and he has been wrong so many times before... Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

PvP Phoenix vs Phoenix

First to get upgrade wins


Doesn't blink stalker still beat it? Or are you assuming that both players randomly go phoenix (which would be kinda cool ^^).


Even with the upgrade, 1 range isn't enough to kite other phoenix. That's the reason why phoenix can't really kite someone who is microing mutas.

Sometimes I seriously think David Kim was born with birth defects. "We think Infestor Queen Broodlord wasn't strong enough so DURR LETS NERF THE GHOST HEUEHEUEHE" "OH SHIT A COUPLE OF PROTOSSES IN PRO PLAY HAVE HAD ISSUES RECENTLY WITH MUTAS ON MAPS THAT MUTAS ARE A GOOD CHOICE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GO STARGATE oh also phoenixes weren't good enough with their auto micro. So now all tosses will go stargate and no zergs will go spire tech which will lead to tosses blind countering ultras and make the game fucking stupid YAAAY IMA SMART GAME DESIGNER!!"

Still remember that day where the majority of players thought ghosts weren't a viable option against Broodlords. This game has come a long way, it's almost sad to that HOTS might ruin balance but I want it anyway. : D

Nice, the new counter to hive tech is killing them before they get to hive tech.

Way to go.

I guess blizzard saw the naama vs destiny game where naama went early ghost into MMMG

Transfuse was already more hp/mana than snipe...

I'm all for the other changes.

MULEs now harvest the same amount of minerals on both high yield minerals and normal minerals.


Just kill high yield minerals, they will not be regretted


Yea, why not just remove high yield minerals? Seems like they are doing everything in there power to keep high yield minerals in the game as if everyone really wants it there, or it has significant-beneficial purpose to 1v1 games.

Even though they should just flat out remove gold bases, the change could work.

But the Snipe change is ... debatable, at best. Way to force Terrans into Vikings / Marauders and make them more susceptible to lategame Z tech switches.

It's better than Terran only making Ghosts and sniping both Ultras and BLs. But now you have to make more than one unit so it's a problem.

Stay classy Terran

zerg can just make an army of ultras all at once, or an army of broods all at once. Terran goes vikings to counter the broods, then zerg makes mass ultra and just walks over the terran.

Just a heads up for the people talking about snipe change, High Templars are not really affected by the change, they do die from 2 snipes already and infestors die from 2 snipes after the change
Make people think they will lose, bluff if needed. People want an easy victory and will not attack if they think they will lose.

Especially at the pro level, we were seeing a lot of games where terran players were playing very defensive games while massing ghosts to counter most of the options zerg players had at their disposal.




I don't understand why Blizzard sees it in TvZ and doesn't see it in PvT where protosses attack only at 200/200 4000-3000 resources?


It isn't about just playing defensively, its about one tech choice that counters pretty much every zerg late game unit.

Yey, a good balance patch! Ghosts still viable lategame vs Zerg, but does not destroy both BL and Ultras as fast as before. Protoss gets a bit more efficient for dealing with Mutas. Everybody's happy now :D


I agree. Ghosts will still be far from useless. EMP is still very important, despite the nerf it got. Snipe will still be vital, despite the nerf it's getting now too.

I just think that now, Terran will need to be a bit more selective on what to snipe in an army, instead of "fuck it, everything!" ^^


It's basically the same thing that happened with Infestors and High Templar, Blizz buffed them>people massed them for everything>blizzard nerfs them>people still use them just more selectively.


Well I don't exactly recall when high templar got buffed (I know their range got nerfed and amulet got removed), but I do think that units in general should be used selectively and should fill important niches in unit compositions, as opposed to "I'm going to build this unit because it will be incredibly good against everything".

The important part is, that it was pretty much good vs everything lategame. Protoss can't mass one single unit, that is good no matter what your opponent has.


Yes they mass whole 2: archons and colossi. The problem not about power of limit but about ability of protoss to make warps immediately after 200/200 during attacks. So they remax army very very fast.

lolumad?

Terrans have to change their play-style finally. What a shame.

This change will be good for all matchups and should yield some awesome games in the coming months as progamers adjust.
