That means a single viper could use almost an infinite number of spells provided he was anywhere near a hive cluster. Maybe with a cooldown? Not really, wouldn't work either. How about an upgrade that makes vipers spawn with full energy? | ||

Vipers are a cool unit to watch so I guess they are some good changes in the long run. It does make consume a bit of a pointless ability though, doesn't it? People are really under rating combined upgrades and how powerful that could be. I don’t know what 3/3 banshees are like, but I bet they are bitches. I mean, you get 3/3 hellbats, tanks, thors Vikings and BCs all with the same upgrades. That is a lot of options for everyone. | ||

Or you could have consume destroy a building instantly, so you wouldn't use it on your hatcheries. Consume seems to denote eating an entire thing. Viper's current spell is closer to "siphon" imo. | ||

 . Nice patch DK Viper: needed. I want the unit to become OP as hell. BUT David Kim, if you read this: make blinding cloud more visible. It's hard to notice it on low settings  Overseers: perfect change. Gives zergs an easier time vs widowmines, which they deserve. Mech: perfect change, makes mech maybe more viable | ||

Mech buff seems also ok, but I would've preferred unit-specific changes. Viper with full energy? dafuq??? Is consume not enough? I do not understand... | ||

Oh well I suppose they can only make a 2 race game. I really don't think this is going to break ZvP, or TvP. And if it does, just remember it's only a test map so it won't actually impact anything anywhere unless they are real changes. | ||

We tested this specific change a bit in the beta, and we have some idea of how much better mech will be, but a lot has changed since then, so we'd like to actually have players playtest it again. Right now, it's looking like the only area where Terran might be weak is late game PvT, but it’s debateable. If so, this change would address that area, because upgrading Vikings that are really core in the matchup will also help with the Hellbat transition in the late game. I won't lie, I thought this was still in the game. | ||

Yeah, I've always considered starport units an integral part of bioless mech in sc2 anyways. | ||

but anyway, considering an average sc2 patch, this one doesn't sound too bad | ||
