Buff for queen = one more way for zerg to arrive safely at the late game where win % is over 65% ZvT (beyond 19 minutes)

Seriously? Can show the source please?
Well the past 2 years ZvT past statistics shown that T was always favor.
Only recently ZvT has shown that zerg have the slight edge against terran.

Only if you don't want to loose one of your SIX hellions. my point still stands. The queen attacking one hellion is just a tiny tickling that while cause for worry does not constitute to preventing or denying hellion harassment regardless of range or energy.

So you need to build a rax, factory, reactor and 6 hellions to kill a 150 mineral queen that comes after spawning pool? Seems legit :D


Here's the difference. Can build a factory and reactors, and 4 hellions can roast a mineral line in seconds if they get in. Seems legit :D

If. It doesn't happen often, as you all drop that roach warren, spine, and 2 evos at your wall, with 2 queens and a macro hatch.... Yea it just doesn't happen... Although I played moman yesterday on ladder and the greedy boy made no spines...and I got 4 hellions in.... and roasted his entire natural =))))))))))

Therefore the solution is a Terran all-in before zerg can utilise it's lair tech (infestors or mutas).
Are you really suggesting that as a balance solution?

The change is really elegant. 50 energy was way too much creep or an instant transfuse that would pretty much nullify early game agression. But 2 more range just adds a little bit of extra dps, perhaps enough to let the zerg kill an scv building a bunker, or to finish off a marine, that could turn the tide of the battle.

And if you're complaining about TvZ late game, go watch a few of Polt's games. He scouts blords, makes vikings out of 1starport and loads up ALL of his units into medicavs that go kill every bloody base the zerg has. Not too much apm is needed to queue 3-4 drops. Stop whining and abuse the immobility of blords istead of trying to fight them head on.

Don't understand why buffing the only zerg unit that was well designed from the beginning? (and i'm a pure zerg) I agree with the overlord change: map are larger so overlord have to be faster it's simple logic, and maybe it will help the fact that scouting important building by sacking an overlord is avoided 1 meter before you can see anything. (This is not really a problem, kinda situational thing)

Overlord speed increase is around 25% going from those numbers?

That will look pretty weird ^^ So early in the game anyway!

learn reading graphs. The only stats we have for winrates per gamelenght are these:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=315604

They show Zerg peak at 57% somewhere around 25mins and it drops afterwards. If you make an average winrate for 20+mins, it should show a maximum of 54-55% for Zerg in that periode of time.
(I don't really like those charts, because they show only the specific NA situation and includes quite a ton of amateur and semipro games against pros - but it's the best we have if we want to argue based on data)

Pretty sad that they arent in touch with terrans current place..

In most games, creep spread actually tends to peak around the late midgame. Beyond that, P and T have enough detection and damage wandering around that it becomes hard for Zergs to push the creep out further unless they're really dominating.


Agree, adding more starting energy to get an earlier creep tumor is going to do very little for zerg in ZvT. The first 2 hellions will just kill it like usual.

Increasing overlord speed is a good idea or please just fix Korhal Compound. As it is right now Terran can get 2 marines out to kill the first overlord before it makes it safely behind the enemies natural.

I still think Thors are OP. Too easy for Terran to pump them off of 2 bases, A attack into any zerg composition and just stomp. Please reduce contaminate cost on overseers so at least zerg has a chance to delay thors from coming out. I cant remember the last time I even saw a pro use contaminate.


Thor OP? lol youve got to be kidding right?

plus these stats include a lot of games where zergs already "won" in the midgame but cant finish off the terran player since you cant attack in a tank/PF/depots wall without ultras or BLs. so these stats include lot of games where zerg basically won 5-8 minutes before in the midgame and just has to wait for BLs to attack.

sigh, they buff the observer again. seriously, its permanently cloaked, what more do you want? a scan will kill it, but its your fault for placing the observer on top of their army... and finally blizzard has acknowledged that there 'might' be a TvP problem.

they also acknowledged that broodlord - infestor 'might be a little too strong'. and we know how that turned out.
One time that happened and I just stopped everything, selected the offending SCV, hit Cancel, moved it over to my Barracks, made a Marine, had the Marine shoot it to death, then left the game.

i dont really understand in TvZ, if zerg has trouble scouting early game, but terran's early game is considered to be the strongest...doesnt that sort of contradict each other that they are trying to give zerg easier scouting game against the strongest part of tvz play? Wouldn't that like be lowering the mana cost for snipe on ghosts to be able to counter zerg's late game arsenel of broodlords ultralisks and infestors?
