Can you imagine in Broodwar if Blizzard felt terran mech was too strong against protoss, they decided to make zealots do additional damage to siege tanks? The whole idea of "Let's have this one unit do more damage to one specific unit that we think is OP in this one matchup" reeks of bad design. Buffing static D is also likely to make muta v muta matches simply more defensively oriented (read: boring). Muta -> infestor tech switches are also something that Blizz should be wary of, because so much relies on luck (can you tell when your opponent is tech switching and take advantage, or not realize and lose the game because of 1 fungal? A lot of it comes down to luck and guesswork) but they seem to be encouraging it. Buff hydra speed on creep instead IMO. Makes roach/hydra viable against terran, doesn't affect protoss much, helps ZvZ, isn't a gimmicky change. If by one particular unit you mean all Zerg air then yes. Corrupters are a unit designed only to do damage to air units. Broodlords are a unit designed only to do damage to ground units. Irradiate was a spell specifically designed to hurt bio units. And wtf was infestations set of targets? | ||

Still think that hellbat drop, widow mines and oracles need a fix. 1 unit alone shouldn't have the power to be a game changer as those ones do. if you die to one oracle thats your fault. and hellbat drops are 3 units. Widow mines aren't that op, and you will see good zergs sending in a few lings to detonate them and dealing splash dmg in the process. | ||
