Can't believe people would be vocal about a range decrease in creep spread >_> You will just have to time your creep tumors in between cooldowns so you can continuously build them rather than just spam them. Besides, having creep is nice, but not neccesary for most Zerg armies.

At pro level no creep = Ling baneling muta useless, cause the Blings are not able to reach the marines when they are splitted correctly ( it would not change much for Goody :p )

Nice to see that theyr trying to do something!

Its not that the creep spread is that big thing, but it slows it a bit down. As T its so risky to engage in creep, so it furthermore backs down T agression. As terran i feel that its very hard to punish over droneign these days. Especially on maps like Cloud kingdom or Entombed.

Wait until someday Goody shows his MKP micro.

I'm sure he could split his tanks really well and kite the Blings with them :D

It does seem very odd that after the queen buff was added, with the intention of "wanting to help zerg spread creep better", that they would then nerf the tumour again for the exact opposite reason. Doesn't exactly create confidence in the balance department.



It isn't weird. The Queen buff was made to defend a little better and let the Zerg push creep outside his base. It was not intended for shitting up the entire map with creep.

First there were hellions and no creep, then queens and shitloads of creep, now nerfed tumors, and a normal amount of creep.

I love those changes! Exactly what i think is needed at the moment.

I would love to see Raven turrets be flying like pdd's but that'd obviously be a to big of a change :D

Fair changes and makes a few Banshees and a Raven seem like a better opening I guess.

Bullshit, it's balanced in Korea already. Leave it the hell alone and let the game shape itself.

Come on now. It's not just about perfect balance, its also about how entertaining the games are to watch and play. More ravens used in TvZ would make the games more attractive to watch for the viewers I believe. And maybe itll open up for some variety with Terran air play.

mostly harmless

It was even more balanced before they buffed Queens.

Didn't stop them then did it?

I love these changes but I would have loved to have seen just one more - Creep receeding speed increased. It's so frustrating to have to wait 30-40 seconds to plant your CC after an overlord creeped it up, and even worse to clear out a batch of creep only to have a queen run over 30 seconds later and replant.

With increaseed speed creep receeding you should add next changes:

- Pylon shields removed
- When starting building, it will burn in flame (like on low hp) untill SCV will finish it

Why not? Creep is a zerg mechanic. If you want faster creep receed, then nerf pylon and other building blocks too

With this patch, I really hope some great builds come out of this, with early ravens applying a good deal of pressure, while limiting the creep spread.

Seems fair, looking forward for more Raven usage.
Not sure about the creep spread nerf but eh, nothing tragic.

Seriously, all this change does is make it easier for terran's to use their early to midgame advantages at lower levels.


Good answer.

This is a tiny nerf to zerg yet they managed to whine a lot about it...


I take it that your a terran player ??wasnt it terran who moans zergs are op
