If you want to hear, how bad those changes are for Terran, just tune in Avilo's stream right now. Noone would do this better for you.. :D


They could make siege tanks fly and Avilo would find a problem with it.

Would love to see some BW tanks that were able to kill things, sc2 tanks just feel so weak unless you have 20+ of them.

Widow mine nerf i think is too drastic . It would probably change the metagame , but it could render the mine not worth it or completely useless , but we will see . DT buff is not needed , they are imba even now .

Oh fuck yeah, protoss changes seem really meh/wierd but w/e, tank buff!!! Finally been waiting for this for 2 years now. Still needs more to make mech viable, but at least having the option of bio/mine or bio/tank or bio + both will make zvt soooooooooooooooooooooo much better as a matchup, I really dislike playing it atm, watching not so much.

Any ways they can keep the DT buff just put the DT and HT on the TA and get rid of the DS better than a DT speed buff gives more diversity keeps opponents guessing too.

Oracles just get rid of the unit guive phoenix ground attack and the other oracles power revelation and the other one that tags the units don't know the name as of now.

I feel those changes are definitely interesting to say the least. Though I am not sure about the DT speed, I think they are in the right place.

The protoss changes are so pathetic.

Cheese units, or whatnot. Why focus on these two units?
Go heavier, look at the sentrie or colossous or something.

I love the wm change atleast, for tvz. The siegetank change i dont understand it, but i still wanna see some tanks in tvz now.
Diversity, sure why not.
I hope this siegetank is from heaven and just blocks roaches all together. The roach is such a boring unit(?). Numbers or gtfo

I think we got too much macro going on right now and we need some good pressure strats outside of Protoss 2 base all ins vs Zerg.

We also need to see protoss do something other than sitting in base and building a super army

Didn't Blizzard say that they talk regularly with Progamers?

Why don't they ever show an interview saying like we discussed patch change xy with those players and they think its good to do it. The explanation comes always from David Kim and it sounds like he is the one balancing everything alone.


Progamers like Morrow and I think Nerchio have vouched that Blizzard has not contacted any pros in the past. It was either a white lie or just a complete BS statement from Blizz.

Its pretty obvious they dont engage the pros or else SC2 wouldnt be where it is LOL

They probably haven't talked to those 2 because one of them is notoriously BM and the other hasn't been relevant in years.

Its possible that Blizzard has NDAs in place with these players they choose to have balance discussions with.


It's also possible that Blizzard doesn't talk to progamers at all, which is much more likely considering the shot-in-the-dark nature of their changes. If Blizzard actually talked to any pros the WoL Infestor Era would have been over in no time, even Zergs were saying it was ridiculous. And Morrow didn't just imply he hadn;t been contacted, I'm pretty sure he said he hadnt heard of any top EU pro being talked to. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I definitely remember him posting on TL about the subject.

Oh yeah and proxy oracle and DT and cocaine are gonna fix that ?
No,its just gonna be more cheese opportunities.

At least the zerg change asks you to use you brain for a bit.

funny how ever protoss change has a thumb down, while everything else gets an up despite the other changes beeing way more critical...

i suggest, that DTs should get a speed upgrade when charge is researched similar to the passiv speed bonus Zealots get when it is researched.

Is this like a significant Tank buff? Hard to tell.. It does not look so great since Tanks just die so quickly and do not enough damage it might not matter that much TvP. Not sure..

i hope that the tanks and wm changes can give TvZ more diversity.

the ideal situation would be that WM+Bio and Tank+Bio is map dependent and that one can transition into the other.
also, making roach/hydra more viable in this matchup would be cool too

Chances are David Kim only talks to Koreans. Why would he talk to foreigners?
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

It's perfectly reasonable to nerf the widow mine splash radius, but the proposed change seems WAY too harsh.

Lowering the splash radius from 1.75 to 1.1 would result in the splash area decresing from ~9.62 to ~3.80, meaning the area would only be less than 40% of what it was before the nerf.
