Widow mine splash radius decreased from 1.75 to 1.1 - So i feel this would definitely be a step in the right direction, but maybe 1.1 is to much. 1.3 or something would maybe be more reasonable, but again overall a step in the right direction for sure. Siege tank attack period decreased from 3 to 2.7 - It's a good idea vs. zerg for sure, but against protoss i feel it's not enough. Imho i think we should try to go back to the flat 50 dmg tank (better vs. zealots). Oracle cost decreased from 150/150 to 150/100 - stronger oracle cheese all in? no thanks imho. Dark Templar movement speed increased from 2.813 to 3.375 - I feel this would be a huge mistake. Especially in endgame harass on maps like whirlwind. I already feel its quite potent vs. zerg and a to a certain degree also terran on big maps. Roach speed upgrade also increases the burrowed roach movement speed from 1.41 to 2.25 - I am a bit worried about ZvP, with this upgrade. Don't know. Voted "no thumbs". Overall I am thrilled Blizzard is aware of whats going on in the community and overall the changes seems to move HotS in an even better direction ^^ | ||

Completely destroy a core Terran unit to the point where it can be used anymore because Taeja won the latest tournament... check Buff random protoss unit's speed because ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶h̶i̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶ ̶e̶n̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ fuck it make them move faster than stimmed units it's time for some terrible terrible damage... check Change some shit related to armory upgrades... check Do nothing about MSC and lolnexus (seriously 1 minute... seriously)... check Buff some random zerg shit because you have to change something right?... check Change bunker build time... fail Overall Score: B+ looks like a solid patch by Blizzard standards | ||

If anything, mines will be better vs zerglings and ultras since they can't drag mine aoe into marine clumps any more. are you idra? | ||

David Kim:"Hmm we could fix that fundamentally flawed race so players with mechanics could actually do something,... but fuck it that would be hard to do just buff the shit out of Protoss" x10000000 Protoss needs a complete overhaul that increases its potential while increasing the difficulty of the mechanics. This patch will help bums like Elfi, Huk, and Naniwa much more than gosus like Rain. | ||

No. Instead it makes oracles come out ever so slightly earlier in PvP while letting you make something like a sentry or a stalker before starting the oracle. It wont make the build time faster or the earliest you can hit but will make you have slightly more army or start WG while making the oracle. | ||

A roach buff or a nydus buff, he can't lobby for both. I really don't think a slight buff in the attack speed of the tank will make up for the laughable reduction in attack radius of widow mines. I also don't think there's a meme or expression in existence that can encapsulate the logical cluterfuck that led them down the road of a DT speed buff. I'd wish they just stick with what they know and change the bunker if they want to troll. Been a while since there was a good bunker patch. And they were all good. | ||
