Not only that the buff was just to to increase acceleration speed a little... which is hardly noticiable. Because a 460% increase in speed is definitely only a little.... which is hardly noticiable. | ||

As people suspected, mutas shouldn't ever land a hit again. The upgrade is really fast too. On the plus side, if you get the upgrade+fleet beacon and your macro slips a bit, you can just queue up a mothership! I don't know why they would make such drastic changes two days before such big events. This just seems like a complete blunder by blizzard, except i don't see any precipitating factors or pressures on them to release this patch with this timing. Just pure idiocy. | ||

Terran is an extremely difficult race to master. If you look at the statistics in silver, gold, platinum and diamond they show Terran significantly behind their counter parts, but if you manage to get over the hurdle and become a code S multi-tasking god, then you too can be a GSL champion. Unfortunately, that’s the minority and we are the majority which means most of us are all stuck pulling are hair out. I’ve also been of the opinion that Terran’s metagame was developing at a much quicker rate than the other 2 races, which left both Zerg and Protoss always trying to catch up with the metagame shifts. I remember when there was a new strategy coming out on a weekly basis for Terran. Now, I think we are at a state where Terran’s metagame is slowing down. Zerg and Protoss have pretty much figured out how to properly defend most of Terrans timing attacks. I think this is where you are going to start see Protoss and Zerg shine. The other statistic I would point to is the length of each game showing that Terran obviously feels the need to end the game quickly, because their ability to win mid and late game significantly decreases as Protoss Techs up and Zerg Macro’s up. i was only responding to the post i quoted, which implied that terrans have been doing poorly in GSL. to respond to your post, Blizzard doesnt (and shouldnt) balance the game around casual players. sc2 tournaments would be a complete farce if Blizzard decides terran needs a buff because bronze-GM (non-progamers) can't play terran well. the only people it should be balanced around are people who play the game professionally. it gives everyone something to aspire to. | ||

Maybe they have to play a game after the new patch is up (once servers come back up) to get promoted? That makes sense, and I hope to see more well-known faces soon o.O Yes it's always been that way. | ||

If zerg doesn't need fast expanding, then blizzard basically needs to buff all the zerg units so that they are cost efficient enough to stay equal base as the other race. They aren't dumbing down the game, they are reducing the effectiveness of certain strategies so that the match ups can be developed further. Thats your opinion that i strongly disagree with. I think the game fundamentally has big design flaws right now and Blizzard is putting on band-aid fixes but those actually at least in my mind widen the flaws even further. | ||

I think they really shouldve followed QXC's advice, and made the ghost snipe the same, but -50%DMG or something for massive. Because now, i can't really think of a way to effectively use ghosts anymore. For the investment, I feel like terran has 3 or 4 other better options now, Ravens, banshees. etc woah. strange blizzard would want that... | ||

So i am curious why the ghost suddenly is overpowered, doing the same as the other spellcasters but not as effective, but with some added sneaky skills. I mean i never used the ghost to conter broodlords or ultras, used them to kill the infestors as the rest is easy to deal with for terran, especially since if the zerg lets you kill ultras with ghosts, he deserves to lose ... (didn't even lose ultras against the recent scroll sniping that became slightly more popular ..., lost some broodlords to it though, but using the energy of 10 ghosts to get 2 broodlords is not effective imo (prepatch still)). Well i will play zerg for some time and hope i will still meet some ghost players that try to snipe broodlords, will be funny to see the ranting. But i doubt blizzard would notice this, and in the gsl i guess ghosts would still work, seeing the zergs there (no offense they would still whipe the floor with me using their mouse only, but in terms of unit use ... ) , atleast on the non ultra maps. Anyway tvz just became a mirror of tvp. Ghosts have to stop the casters or your army is doomed, but they are perfect at doing so. Lets welcome the viking marauders combination in tvz. Play zerg and protoss either way, you train 2 matchups for the price of one. (one reason why the gsl is so terran dominant, so this change will play in their favor) | ||

Even though it is unfair to the players to release the patch right before a tournament. I am kinda hoping I get to see this in use!! And maybe carriers or quicker mamaship as a result. EDIT: Woah!! Did the guy above me just say archons counter ghosts?? .. Something's wrong here. | ||

That was a question that a lot of us had (including myself). Graviton Beam range seems to be exactly the same. | ||
