People made careers out of superior Muta micro in a game where you could only control 12 units, thus better multitasking was rewarded. In SC2 you can control all your mutas at once which makes all of this moot. You get the first volley off, you win the game instantly.


Plus Muta micro in SC2 is nothing compared to Muta micro in BW.

As a spectator, I'm glad that their trying to address mutas in the ZvZ matchup. While it's interesting how razor-thin and upgrade-dependent muta vs muta is, it doesn't show on the screen. It's very difficult to 'read' or decipher who is ahead or behind, and boring when EVERY ZvZ seems to come down to who was able to make the most mutas.

Oracle speedbuff seems too strong and will buff the allin also, cause u can micro it better.

Hope the changes wont go live like that after testing.



Because it doesn't. it's mostly luck based. it seems like whoever starts mutas/gets the first volley off first wins. there is very little micro you can actually do.

The thing is, there isn't much room to show off Muta micro anymore without scourge. I'm not a fan of buffing static defense because I feel it cripples the different ways Mutas can be used.


Yeah, I would actually really like to see Scourge added to the game. Makes ZvZ more interesting, gives more options vs late game Skytoss. Everyone wins!

Quit crying, one widow mine counters oracle.
Also, they haven't even proposed a change to the hellbat (drops) which are even more cheesy than oracle

The sky isn't falling. And don't worry, your 57-43 winrate TvZ will largely remain untouched.

Yeah cause watching people camp at static defense is exciting from a spectator's point of view...

Just went in to try on some roach burrow rush, you'll be able to have atleast 6 roaches with burrow at opponents natural at 5:30, 11 at 6:45. Promoting more 1base play seems to be an awesome way to make it a better game, gj Blizzard.

I think the burrow change is too drastic. 50/50 is too damn low imho, I think changing it to 75/75 is perfect, but that's the point of beta testing. Haha.

Not really, Scourge are insanely low HP and can be protected by Stalkers and micro.

the implications of these patches to terran is just plain scary. Can't even think of early marine pressure now. Absolutely must make turrets now. and is in danger of losing entire armies to bane mines now because EVERY zerg will take advantage of it.

God forbid Terran players have to play somewhat scared! The other two races live in constant fear of medivacs, mines, hellbats, even banshees still.

Zero sympathy.

I don't see why people like the spore buff, its going to be horrible lol. Muta/ling/bane will still be stronger than roach/hydra/infestor because of the same issues as before. Roach/hydra/infestor can't push out for a while because banes will wreck it. and when its large enough the muta player should be on ultras.

AND if it stays muta vs muta this means that if you're behind just sit above 3 spore crawlers and the muta player thats ahead can not kill you for any reason. Its just going to reward really really bad players and create a horribly stale play.

So AGIANTSMURF writes a guide about his PvT, based around including an early forge in his standard build order because of the incredible threat presented by Widow Mines, and here people that have never experienced a build-order loss to cloaked Banshees find Oracles interesting somehow.

Okay, so you're comfortable abusing Robo openers, I get that. Should Stargates be dangerous? Should Oracles be a game-changer?
If you use "literally" as a form of hyperbole, you will literally DIE! (Eventually.)

So... I played the balance test map, did a one base roach rush with burrow vs a protoss, he called me a bronze scrub and started flaming me for not macroing and then he ignored me, lol.
