But no DT change because everyone whined about it. So Zerg and Terran should be able to do devastating damage with their respective Mutas and drops, yet when the thought of buffing one of the very few good forms of harass for toss everyone freaks out and they decide to not even bother testing it. Great, buff the oracle some more..... Then they build two turrets and its completely worthless. | ||

They're not trying to "buff" protoss; they're trying to make a build viable that doesn't involve the same units in every matchup/composition. But you're right, just fix/change every other race because protoss is perfect and shouldn't be tweaked whatsoever. Great logic there, bud. | ||

Honestly, game balance at the moment is not bad, if you look purely at winrates. But what is bad, is the diversity in a number of matchups. PvT in particular has been the same damn thing basically since the WoL beta, and the only major change has been Terrans countering the addition of the Mothership Core by adding SCV all-ins. In terms of tech and units though, its always been gateway+robo vs. bio+medivacs and vikings. Making mech and stargate better is necessary if they ever want to fix that. This is the first step.. | ||

Which it isn't. "They avoid doing changes where units have unintuitive special cases and don't function as described." | ||

Oracle will be as fast as mutalisks, deals more devastating damage than mutalisks has most of the health regen of mutalisks yet oracles suck and mutas OP. I know they are different units and all, but the oracle changes are going to be scary. | ||

Blizzard should make stargate tech less one dimensional in PvT and turned oracles into a truly useful unit if they want oracles to become popular. Revelation doesn't help much in the mid game if you're good at defending. In macro PvT, they feel like wasted resources nowadays. Buffing things such as the range of revelation or something is an interesting choice though. It could be a super awesome spellcaster if given more useful abilities. Why not give it a new lategame spell that requires a fleet beacon or a fleet beacon upgrade? Something cool and useful, but not op. Or maybe allow protoss to morph it into a more useful unit mid-late game unit or something - e.g. remove pulsar beam and give it a new skill. I hope oracles will not ruin PvP, because they represent a huge gamble in the matchup - they can cost you the game in stargate mirror, yet they can be a build order win depending on how you play against someone that went 1 gate FE. Buffing their speed will only make these silly all ins stronger. If they were just a safe harassment rather than such an extreme unit, it wouldn't matter much. | ||

Then afterwards figure out how to make PvP less of a cesspool without such a bludgeon of a solution which describes the MSC's role. | ||
