Considering the siege tanks, I'm not really sure. As a general buff I'd keep the long cooldown but increase the damage to make it more impactful. If the TvP is the issue then maybe change the way immortals function. Ghosts should stay important, that's for sure. I'd love to see some kind of shield bleedthrough, including hardened shield. For example in siege mode 20% damage would ignore shields. That would be a slight general TvP buff while making siege tanks a lot more effective against immortals before you get to ghosts. | ||

Mines need to cost more gas than minerals, for example 25/75 while still being really strong against mutas. Mines are supposed to help mech fight mutas. Mech play is already gas starved and we don't even know if mines will be at all effective against massed mutas after the nerf. | ||

Or was that just the shredder?  Pretty sure that was their intention with mines as well.Certianly not to be used in parade pushes with bio | ||

I always figured that happened for the VOD only. This looks so professional, really hard to believe that one guy just does it during an ongoing broadcast. | ||

You won't move out until you have at least 4 Thors and since you are floating so many minerals, you can spam a lot of Missile Turrets. Later on, Thors/Vikings/Ravens can deal with infinite amount of mutas + 2038 Turrets in your base. It really is gimmicky to go mass Muta vs mech. It only relies on mech player building not enough Missile Turrets or not building Thors at all. | ||

Mech always had thors but the problem is that given the cost widow mines are just way too cheap so they get used with bio. So far I haven't really seen things like putting siege tanks on top of widow mines. At the same time you could buff the damage of siege tanks or buff the thor splash. In general these changes should make widow mines a bit less popular (while still very strong for 2 supply), siege tanks more popular and bring back thors in mech. | ||

Thus Blizzard (during the HOTS beta) buffed the mutalisk in return. Now it actually makes a lot of sense to nerf the mutalisk + phoenix if Widow MIne nerf goes through. | ||
