Yeah because all the zerg were already invited. Zerg is still the most played race and also at the pro level doing fine. Learn to play and learn to scout. You cant bitch in a mirror match-up its a skill thing Just because it is a mirror doesn't mean there can't be balance problems. That said imo in TvT hellbats aren't a problem at all. Both in drops and just as part of the army there are good counters. | ||

If they want to affect nothing but the ZvZ meta, why not give the +bio damage to hydras, fungal (vs bio-air only) or infested terrans ? Sc2 is full of special rules anyway, at this point they can keep expanding. Oracles, meh. Better decrease the damage and the cost, instead of having that glass cannon. Burrow change leaves me kinda indifferent. Hellbats need a damage nerf. Usually, in RTS games, speed movement and range are negatively corrrelated. In the hellbats case, both are low and they compensate it with a huge dps. I'd rather have a faster and less powerful hellbat at this point, one that allows you to maneuver around your siege tanks line, rather than having this sluggish but insanely powerful unit. I don't think speed movement and range correlate all that much honestly most units just have mediocre speed and mediocre range. On the other hand low ranged units have high damage outputs. Since the hellbat is supposed to be a tanky unit I think it's good that it lacks mobility since the hellion is supposed to be the mobile version of the hellbat. | ||

I like all these changes. Oracles are a huge investment and movement speed is not that big of a buff anyway, after all, they buffed the speed and health regen of mutas, which are a massable unit. It's a huge buff in the early game. It means proxy oracle arrive even earlier and it means you can now kill marines and get out to regen shields and go again with the second oracle which will result in more free wins. It will probably do absolutely nothing to make the oracle a viable mid game harassing unit. So it's a stupid change because it would do what protoss players complain about all the time making a gimmicky unit better at being gimmicky but not giving it more usability in longer games. | ||

We could maybe call that unit a hellion? (Which are imo atm underrated) | ||

Having an oracle 5 seconds earlier than usual isn't gonna make that big of a difference. | ||

I really like the fact that they try to give Z a chance for early agression aswell as another way of playing ZvZ. However I don't understand the oracle change and most importantly I don't get why they dont even mention a) medivac speed, b)hellbat (overall) and c) widow mine (probably fine though). | ||

It's the difference between having 6 marines to protect your turrets going up and things spiraling out of control because of not being able to. I'm pretty confident that this change will not make it through testing. | ||

They are most likely waiting at least till the GSL code S is done before actually judging something is broken. It seems they learned from their WoL mistakes. | ||

Terran shouldn't be immune from cheese just because they want to fast 3 CC every game | ||

It should have never made it into the released game in my opinion. Either protoss deals ridiculous damage and gets a massive advantage early on or it gets countered and the protoss can only sit there while the opponent pretty much macros up no problem or amoves across the map 3-5 minutes later. Complete 1-trick pony. | ||
