Best change to overseer against Widow Mines will be next thing:

Overseers on attack-move will stop at any widow mine at sight-range, when they (Overseers) found it.

The mech buff they had in mind wasn't ideal, but it was something. Something that could possibly have terran players experiment with different builds besides MMM. But I guess making the game interesting isn't a priority, lets just make every terran player go through the exact same motions every game like they have for months now.

I loved watching terran games in WoL, even when they were getting raped by BL/infestor. I root against terran players in HOTS, every game is just MMM spam.


The buff is good. My problem #1 right now is middle to late game ZvT. Mines are just so annoying and mechanically hard to clear that you need to be about 30-40 apm above the terran player to win. I agree that it may not be enough and I would prefer to see a simple widow mine nerf, but on the side of zerg buffs I think this is optimal.

I'll come into this thread once every three months to remind you that Protoss is still by far the least succesful race in the pro scene in HoTS, but hey, by all means, let's all worry about the unbearable situation with Zerg and get that race to win some more tournaments so Terran doesn't get it all.

I also feels like protoss needs some fix.

Seriously, they should do something about gateway units one day. something like buffing gateway units but moving warp gate into higher tech or some sort.

And they need to look at some of protoss flying things like oracle, Mothership (are you still there, mama?), carrier, tempest, etc...

I think blizzard don't like protoss :p

Not sure thats true. I think in terms of EAPM its pretty even for both players, or terran could still be slightly more mechanical demanding.
But Zerg generally have more APM than terrans due to larva mechanic.
I honestly think the issue lies with it being harder for terran to lose than zerg to lose. Zerg seems to get punished harder for mismicro/losing battles than terran does.
I would actually have liked to see another small change: Like what about reducing baneling morph time by a couple of seconds? Often times it seems that terran can win the game after a battle as he can kill the morphin banelings.

Don’t listen to them Blizzard. Don’t do it to terran again. Don’t nerf things that work, buff things that don’t.

If Overseers are that fast then contaminate might be way more viable to add into your strats. Your overseer is way less likely to die.

Basically I want to see a game where Terran cannot manage to get 3/3 because of contaminate.

oh well, I'm patient to wait for more balance changes

how tasty is your tears! :p

don't worry, if they nerf mines, they will surely buff others like tanks, thors, etc.

What blizzard failed to see (but starting to see now!) is that hots lacks variety of choice.

Dwf you are worse than Avilo when it comes to sensible balance talk.

only looking at tournament wins is about as stupid as your comment though. I don't say this change is great but a small nudge for ZvT which is the only matchup with some obvious problems now is fine since I don't think this change really affects ZvP too much. I had rather seen something else to make the hive transition a bit smoother but this isn't the worst.

But there are no tears, I play protoss. I just don’t want to see awesome stuff nerfed. Why make a unit less useful when you can just give the other side a chance to respond with other units? Don’t break things that work and people like, buff stuff people want to use, but can’t.

Seeing how TvZ can be hard for Z now makes Scarlett's performance at WCS world finals even more impressive. Probably even more impressive than what did Stephano at his best.

Its up there for sure. I don't even know how she does it really and it seems other Zergs have no clue as well

Scarlett has some great ling/baneling control, to be honest.

Patch is ok i think but there is one Problem for Terran Player then: When Overseer is so fast, wassup with Cloak Banshees? They have no chance to get away then, so they must Buff the Speed of em too.
