Not sure why Blizzard wants to force early burrow as well. I think 75/75 is reasonable I guess. Didn't think Oracles needed a buff, they were already pretty good units. If they must buff, a smart approach would be not to do a double buff, and just choose one for now. | ||

Movement is a combination of speed and acceleration. Just because you saw 2 numbers change does not make it a double buff... If you increase speed but not acceleration you get a more unresponsive unit. | ||

Mutas got a speed boost but no acceleration boost. Personally I'd prefer acceleration if I had to, though I'd have to see what the good number would be. | ||

Sure it's hard for the players but, where is the problem with rewarding the better micro/macroing player that has better multitasking. 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. I don't think they're trying to stop muta vs. muta for those that want to do it. But I think they want to give players who go with a ground army a chance at some map control. | ||

That seems to be the legit complaint about the Spore buff that I've seen, it doesn't address that issue. | ||

Apparently the small speed buff means ebays have to be built a full minute earlier. And it means that now terran can never leave their base. It also means that proxy stargates are going to be twice as powerful. | ||
