Blizzard scrambling to fix terran, pretty funny stuff.

ps combined mech air upgrade is ridiculous. just change it to ground/air like protoss if you want to make it easier.

PvP will be even more of a coin toss if Oracles are less expensive and DTs are that fast.

As a terran I feel insulted by these changes when I think of the TvP match-up.


I feel the same way, it's already hard enough to manage DT's as they are in the late game right now, this is just icing on protoss cake


What about the lategame medivacharras with cheap marines, isnt that kinda similar?

YES! Let the terran tears flow, tvz will no longer be a 3base rally into win anymore!

You mean TvZ will be 70% winrate for Z now?

Nah Zvt might actually be balanced and Terran will actually have to do stuff rather then rally all game into winning. First month or 2 will probably be 55% favoring Zerg which is still lower then the current 56 or higher % of tvz now.

Doesn't seem to be too Terran favored atm, and we've seen a lot of Zerg players doing well in TvZ lately. Maybe I'm wrong though?

I thought bliz would do a similar reduction to the ghost emp nerf, didn't expect 1.1. I imagine they also have more room to give tanks additional buffs.

Now you are talking in language we can all get behind.

I love all 6 changes. The tank/mine changes should create more position-based games. The DT movement sounds harsh for hatchery snipes but could force different unit composition out of zerg to counter that, like infestors feugal, roaches for defense.
Carriers and bcs are not used much, would be nice to see them buffed next.

What the fuck is that stupid DT speed change, holy crap. It makes no sense, who's gonna lose a DT ever now?

1.1 Seems really small for the widow mine. I think I would rather see a change the way splash damage works so that it essentially has diminishing splash (maybe just two tiers) and keep the current radius. It's just in TvZ it seems too crazy to see one widow mine destroy a huge clump of banelings and end the game.

It's probably the case that a less severe widow mine change is more difficult to test, these values might only be for testing purposes.

Steps in the right direction (apart from the DT bit...). Looking forward to the test map.

That will likely be toned down. I would like to see a speed boost button that let them go that fast for a short period of time, just to escape detectors.

What awesome and yet scary potential changes!

DT and Oracle change sounds better for pros... I hope this makes those units less cointossy. Both will probably affect PvP the most though.

DT: Bisu comes out of retirement!! Hell I may make DTs vs. Terran on ladder once in a while now. For such an expensive unit, it's nice that it will be able to maybe dart in and out like a banshee. Still can't fly, but maybe you can get away before a marauder concussive shell hits now and seals your doom.

Oracle: 50 less gas is nice. Before in PvT if you went oracles (who does that anymore?) and your opponent only allowed you 3 worker kills, you were a deadman. Now... well you are probably still dead, but it allows some opportunity to switch tech.

Widowmine: Sounds a bit much, but will have to see how it pans out. But they were probably too easy to use before.

Tank: Wow, big dps and efficiency bump.

Roach burrow speed: I love it. I always thought roaches had more micro potential... now I bet we can see it!

Given that the finals at Blizzcon represents the end of this year's season, they could easily be more extreme with their changes, almost on the level of a mini-expansion. I sometimes wonder what David Kim actually does with his time, since his job seems kinda easy...


Reading this forum could tell you that his job is far from easy when everyone here seems to know how to make the game better.

Do you really think we could tell if David Kim decided to only spend 20 hours per week on his job?

So, with the widow mine nerf if it goes through, what is the Terran counter to mass muta's other then going all in before muta's can even come out? Or will most games end up being a proxy rax from the terran with scv pull?

Just give DTs blink they did it for the campaign I think.
