This is blizzard saying hey terrans we know ravens might not be very good please try using them so we can have a better idea what to do with them in HotS | ||

I don't think i've EVER seen a game where you wanted to use a Seeker missile, had the energy, but didn't had the upgrade finished. | ||

I hope you know what you're talking about, cause i don't wanna deal with that $@#$!. I'm scared of the following situation: 4 cloaked banshees + cloak upgrade = 800 gas = 4 ravens. So, what if terran player just made 4 ravens, seeker missile in the probe line as harass, then for the push spammed turrets and pdds? NOTE: seeker missile is FASTER than probe. | ||

toss will be able to storm away IT-fields and the reduced fungal range also means more infestor vulnerability to blink and colossi. overall, i really like this patch. making fungal's rooting effect something else than a complete micro-killer would be even better, but this will do as well for now. | ||

I see this patch helping PvZ more than TvZ personally. This. Stating that “eggs now die in 2 Tank shots” is cool and all, but when meching you hardly have the luxury to focus eggs when there are 30+ Roaches along. | ||

Overall these feel kinda good changes although I still feel fungal is kind of a lame spell. I guess we'll just have to wait and see where it goes from here. | ||

So having 4-6 ghost will be a lot more forgiving on sniping them. Plus use the left over ghost to launch nukes  . However I really think the root effect needs to be gone I mean cmon... this is a big start showing there willing to patch at least.I agree on the root part. I think it would produce more interesting games if fungal didn't root at all so terran and protoss(or even in mirror matchup a zerg) would be able to still micro, even when they do take full damage from it. This in my opinion would produce more interesting gameplay to watch(i don't really play sc2 anymore, but i do like watching it). | ||

I wonder whether the raven will actually see more use in TvT 1-base pushes, since seeker missiles are pretty good for softening up marines. | ||

though ravens in late game will be overpowered, just watch.
