What the Viper needs is a rework to Blinding Cloud that makes it better vs Bio and weaker vs Mech. The Unit itself right now is far too narrow focused. It's a borderline overpowered unit vs Mech compositions and completely useless vs Bio/Mine. Changing what energy it starts with changes none of that. agree with bolded. I disagree on blinding cloud. I think it's plenty powerful against bio(please blizzard, change its color, so hurtful on the eyes ><) but they need to do something about the viper if they plan to make viable. It's just too hard countered by the abduct ability. Maybe nerf the range of abduct but I dunno how they'll balance that. Overall, was hoping they would change more in a patch but I guess better they buff not nerf and that it's done in steps. | ||

Zerg just has the mobility, map vision, and tech switching to deal with mech very easily. As long as they are not surprised by a mech timing, they can easily deal with it. If they want to bring back mech, the first thing they need to do is give tanks back their massive base dmg, and get rid of the dmg bonus to specific unit classes. Thors need to be much more effective at anti air. Whether by increasing thier splash aoe, or increasing the rate of fire. Mech is strongest when maxed, which takes until late game. Broodlords, ultras, tempests and colossus destroy it. Scouting is so much easier now that unless your opponent is very incompetent you will never surprise them with a mech timing. If that timing fails for whatever reason, you are so screwed. | ||

I think the mech change could be good. I am unsure of the viper change. They need SOMETHING, but I'm not sure this is the right way to go. Overall I like these changes. | ||

Would be way more of a pimpest play than overseer contaminate on pathogen glands before infestors pop. Agreed. I feel like there will be some boss HT plays vs Vipers now | ||

Definitely would be sick to watch as the protoss has to have his timings down! | ||

#2-3 are a little odd, vipers have full energy 10 seconds after spawning anyway so it will be interesting to see in test | ||

If anything, I think that vipers should be given an attack (albiet weak) due to the fact that they do not deal any damage, and other spellcasters which do not deal damage via spells (i.e. sentries) get attacks. Hmmm yea that might be interesting! If anything, make it an anti air attack only kinda like what it was in the campaign. | ||

Abduct > Thors. They already nerfed Hell Bats. lol I predict the current TvZ (and ZvT) builds to be unperturbed by these purposed balance changes | ||
