Yeah, you can still slow down Creep and the Third Expo and gain map control with Hellions, the difference is now you can't just retardedly run 4-6 Hellions into a base and just run circles around everything while basically taking no damage. Good patch imo, let the Terrans cry about it all they want, they'll get over it.
except they can still do this too. you moved ur queens to far forward? helions dart in good luck catching them queens. and by the time they are cleaned up ur down 15 drones and still have no creep spread

Again I am really disappointed in Blizzard's decision of not nerfing Terran...
1. Increase bunker build time to 60-70 seconds.
2. Increase Ghost Build cost to 300 min - 150 gas
3. Increase Queen starting energy to 50 - 75
4. Increase Raven build cost to 300 min - 300 gas
5. Increase Tech lab build time to 50 seconds
6. Decrease Collosus build time to 50 seconds
7. Decrease Protoss shield upgrade to 100- 100
8. Decrease Sentry cost to 50 minerals 50 gas
9. Decrease High Templar cost to 50 min 100 gas
10. Observer should not cost any supply

The more I think about it, the more it seems like these are patch notes for the game 6 months ago

It's these sorts of patches that make me want to switch races.
The fact that Terran can no longer apply pressure to Zerg now means a less diversified game and boring match up, and along with that, any 1 base all-in will be scouted guaranteed...
Every race has their early game cheeses and quirks. The proxy 11/11 Rax was the early cheese Terrans had to throw into the game. Protoss has their cannon rushes and proxy 2 gates. Zerg has early pool and Roach rushes. It's what makes StarCraft an interesting game, because of all the possibilities. Terran's been pidgeon-holed way too much with this. This patch is going to be the straw that breaks the Camel's back.

It kills the reaper harass against Z completely since Queens quite easily win that fight now. Oh you poor reaper you, no place for you at all

You can't be serious.. Terran has no "insane splash damage" to use. You can't "kite back to the safety of seige tanks" cause then the immortals just walk up and kill them, not to mention that Charge Zealots are GREAT against tanks too! The strongest defender of Mech v Protoss (Artosis) has even said that they don't have a place except for the early midgame. That's it. Tanks vs protoss lategame are horrible.

I'm not sure about the patch being necessary.
The overlord change seems to be a compensation for those huge maps where it takes you so long to get to enemy's base, since originally the maps were much smaller.
The queen +2 range makes me sad, really huge buff for early defense. However as a protoss player it hurts me less than a terran player, if terran gets weakened now in TvZ, perhaps a buff to a lategame unit for TvP would be good.
The observer change will make it easier to deal with dts and banshees, but I don't see the need for this change. It's not like protoss couldn't get observers at all, plus usually you would chrono them. Now with chrono, it takes 20 seconds to get an observer out, to compare with zealot 38 build time out of a gateway. It's like making observers instantly made. I don't see the reason for this, just makes protoss life easier against cloaked units. Protoss didn't have any scout problems at all, and 10 seconds don't really do that much to help build more units from robo.

Phaw...  Joke by OP. Nice.

im starting to think im masochistic for trying to play terran... Should have stuck to P... I love how they justify Ts shitty lategame by saying it has the best early/midgame, then proceed to nerf said early/mid game with no comment on lategame buffs..

TvP has devolved into MMMVG because there is no alternative to it in lategame situations .

They do not provide any kind of safety in TvP lategame the toss can just close the distance way too fast . Not to mention you can't expect Terran to upgrade Bio , Air and Mech while the Toss only upgrades ground from 2 forges ...

Great! This will help scouting problem against terran.

bunker not changed gave me a laugh. huge patch for zergs though.

Well I'm glad I 1-rax expanded in TvZ anyway, but the inability to micro hellions to punish queens that got off creep sucks. I think any reactor hellion play will involve less poking and more run-bys, or else pure map control with no pressure. Certainly the constant pressure styles are no longer viable.

That is true, 3 kinds of ups wont work, well Do BCs have any place in the MU later on, im sure once your vikings get to 3-0 they are good but if you have spare gas drop a few starports and go BCs, yes Feedback is an issue but thats all up to control. I also think that Resetting the EMP radius buff could help, because infestors are too big for blanket emps and you cant snipe temps/emp all my zeals with such a small emp

proxy 11/11 rax will still be very deadly if not scouted and prepared for. for the love of god queens are not going to just kill everything now they are terrible dps THE ONLY difference is the bunker will be harder to get up but not impossible. cheese should be harder to pull off since its supposed to be really risky. i 100% guarentee that you will still see your reactor helions, ur reaper expands and ur 2 rax pressure and even some proxy rax's even after the change
*on a side note Proxy 11/11 hasnt been used much since the rax build time was changed anyways

i doubt it was random.. i would assume it had something to do with the range of enemy units - marines and hellions in particular i would think.
