Not sure is Spore buff is the answer to Muta ZvZ.

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.

Also, why are they ignoring photon overcharge? It is simply too strong at 60 seconds and 100 energy.

and burrow is almost back to where it was in March 2010

General population of players on all servers are Zerg. So these polls dont mean shit. Take a poll of the pros then lets talk.

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.

So should we be seeing oracles zooming across the map at afterburner speeds now?

I like the oracle acceleration buff, but am not sure about the speed buff. Oracles feel a tad clunky at the moment.

It is a double buff though. Speed and acceleration are completely different things, although both affect mobility. 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.

Why doesnt they want muta vs muta, was fun to watch in sc1 also. 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.

You don't get map control with static defense. That seems to be the legit complaint about the Spore buff that I've seen, it doesn't address that issue.

I like the oracle change, haven't tried it, but in theory it sounds good. Seems to be alot of whiners though, so maybe increase the oracle build time by a smidge?

I've tried, no one listens. 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.
