I think this patch is enough. Until we see the consequences of the patch HOTS will be too close that balance changes really matter and everybody will be adapting to HOTS instead of developing new strats if they reöease another balance patch. | ||

Blizzard is pretty committed to planting their design philosophy flag that Zerg should always get a free third, balancing around this truism. I doubt it'll ever be changed if at all in WoL. | ||

So this is only a minor change in WOL, since with proper control of infestors, the -1 range does not mean to much to pros, mabey to lower league players (does not not matter) who have bad micro. The eggs health is also minor, how often do pro protoss go early high temp?? Egg nerf is only some what useful super late game. WOL still has Bl/infestor turtle the -1 range/egg health does nothing to change this boring play style. | ||

Honestly kinda of pointless, Raven needs a entire re work, in which David Kim said will happen in HOTS. | ||

I doubt it'll ever be changed if at all in WoL. The problem is that before the queen patch you could gain map control, scout, contain and harass with 4 units, at no risk at all, while expanding. That is NOT balanced in any way. Sure the queen buff was over the top, but the sheer power of reactor hellion was just too much. | ||

At least that is the impression they gave at WCS | ||

The infested terran egg nerf will only come into play in the late game, in the PVZ match up, so late game the direct fight with only infested terrans will be some what weaker, but the nerf does not do to much in zvt, where zerg can still use few eggs to force siege tanks to fire on each other or help break siege lines. | ||
