How can so many people approve on combining the mech and air upgrades? Biggest joke so far from blizzard, they "think" its a step in the right direction...simply playing your own game would tell you that combining the upgrades is foolish. Zerg cannot kill terran air in a fight.


Combined upgrades were OP only when Warhounds and 4x Hellbat w/o blue flame in a medivac were around. Seeing as how neither of those problems exist any more it actually is a good step in the right direction. Still think a few more buffs to the tank would be nicer though.

And please you deserve to lose if you let T manage to get so many air units up.

i see another unit made worthless, and i see slight buffs to things that were not viable in WoL and get even harder destroyed in HotS, i call that me being realistic, not narrowminded, and any positive expectation is delusional, not openminded.

Perhaps than you should educate the new player instead of shutting him down? The malice and superiority complex in you post is sickening. Just because the guy is defending Protoss is no reason to be dismissive and mean to him.

I've never said that you are narrow-minded, and as far as I saw, he didn't point finger on you either, he is generalizing, that is true, but he is mostly right, people tend to scream and whine a lot before they even test things out.

Tank buff will softcounter immortals more, that means that lategame mec armies (if the terran gets to it, its not easy, but IF) are even stronger overall, because of the quicker attack. With Ghosts in a mec army, which shoots quicker.. Horror :'(

Tanks softcountering immortals? Lol. Immortals still hardcounter tanks. And even stronger lategame mech army? Toss should have no problem countering a lategame mech army.

TvZ will be ugly too, 3/3 vikings vs a zerg in the 20 minute, while the Zerg is just getting his first air upgrades for their corrupter. So Air switches will be very easy in longer termed macro games. And the air fights will always be in the terran's favour if he went for mec. So we are going to see diehard timings of the zerg to try to end the game before the terran will switch to air. Btw. Vipers will die more easily now :D

Still not before they cast blinding cloud and the mech player loses.

And yeah when going mech and losing horribly you have better vikings. But vikings are still fairly bad against ultras (see also the HotS trailer), and a zerg can switch to air very fast.

Ghost counters immortals.

I wish he would clarify on 'some really cool micro potential'.


Watch effort vs flash from the mlg vs proleague invitational
Burrow movement has soooo much potentiel, from basically blink microing your roaches (which would probably take like 400 apm but still) to getting away from ffs similiar to how t can pick up in medivacs or even sneaking small roach hitsquads into bases while they are burrowed and getting out. Roach burrowed movement has sooo much potential.

We gotta use tanks with mines together? GREAT....... they added more micro for Terran T_T now you gotta siege/unsiege + burrow/unburrow your units everytime u think your opponent is threatning to attack T_T. Way to kill Terrans off. This is the last thing we needed micro wise.

And not to mention faster tanks will lead to mech-only TvTs which sucks for bio players like myself.

Here's a replay of my attempt at optimising a burrow roach rush vs terran.

In the hands of a pro this will be pretty sick, time to make ravens in TvZ!

This makes me sad, nerf an ultra aggressive style and pidgeonhole Terran's to using tanks. What's the point of limiting options? It's not like pros were really having a hard time anymore dealing with WM's.

If they want to make the oracle a longterm harass unit they should nerf it's potential for getting quick wins. Straight up buffing it is just a bad idea.

Having combined upgrades for terran is also a bad idea especially in tvt where the mech player will then always have the better air upgrades.

The siege tank buff does not make up for the mine nerf at all. Siege tanks don't do enough damage and it doesn't make enough of a difference that they do hit a bit faster.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

Sorry, you are probably the only one that still believes that Starcraft 2 as an action game is better then Starcraft 2 as an real-time strategy game. Even developers are acknowledging this. You might want to rethink you attitude.

The word "Guys" and the phrase "You guys" should show you that I wasn't referring to the quote anymore. Or do you think I talk to you when I say "You guys"?!

I just see people say the changes are bad without even playing ONE GAME. That is NOT what this map was made for. It's "Call to action", not "Call to whine".

This literally makes no sense. I'm sorry I want more options to play my race.
