EPTZ has a lot of very good tools in HOTS, ultras, banes, vipers are strong. I dont know why speed hydras were nerfed really hard (in battle reports they gained +50% speed from muscular augments.. not +25% or +30%) but hydras are still pretty good in some compositions too. If you sit back and max out you wont do well, but you dont have to, and such behavior was suicide for toss players for a very long time (playing no rush 20)

And it's going to get worse, not better. Pros will become better at perfecting their ability to build up this OP composition. Across the board 20% DPS buff to void rays. Worst idea from Blizzard. Toggle charge? Not so bad. 0.5 attack speed? broken. They should nerf it to 0.55, see how it goes then bring it back to 0.6. But I think 0.6 would make them worthless once more. Or just reduce the damage of the charge attack because no charge 0.5 Attack Speed isn't the worst thing to happen to the game. | ||

"don't let them get there" is like... How you play terran ever since sc2 came out. "Don't let toss get there" "don't let zerg free drone" etc etc... Why should this change now? You need to find ways to pressure effectively, if you attak they need to make units, if they make units they can't freely go into their uber army so easily | ||

Think about it, ranged siege unit with the tempest/carrier. HT is equivalent of infestor. VR's and the other units counter most AA and provide a lot of dps. It is kind of like an improved BL/infestor. Except for protoss. | ||

If they had been smart they would have nerfed it, buffed zerg mid game units to compensate and it would have been better then just let it remain broken as shit till hots -_-. | ||

In HOTS it's too early to tell, but it if does mean "don't let protoss get to this point" and the game stagnates like it did in WoL then it is just bad design once again. | ||

As the game progresses more and more to that point, it'll be more readily apparent as an issue requiring attention, and blizzard will be forced to act. Provided a reasonable solution is still not found. Who knows maybe mass infestors will once again be the solution, or queens, or a hydra based army | ||

 far too much a focus on balance. I largely blame the community for that. | ||

They automatically are able to be abused without cost I feel as though the cooldown is too short at the moment for such a powerful ability that requires no research. Increase the cooldown or disable healing while under the effects of afterburn. | ||

As a Terran I haven't lost to a single Zerg while using it, aside from making a huge mistake macro-wise against Roach/Hydra/Viper- and even that takes a heck of a lot of resources, still takes an awful lot of damage from Widow Mines, and Bio + a couple supporting Tanks just crush it. | ||
