Siege tank attack speed also need to increase by a bit more, I know Blizzard is trying to becareful, but a 6.67% in is going to do nil. They other changes are alright, probably not going to do much. | ||

For example, if Carriers spawned with 8 interceptors instead of 4, it'd help slightly reduce the window of vulnerability when teching to Carriers (effectively 100 minerals cheaper and 30 seconds less to full strength) without making the unit itself overpowered. Yes, definitely. Carrier's main issue is that you pretty much die, before you get your carrier's ready. Not only do they have an absurd build time, But then you have to wait until they build 4 interceptors. IMO: 1) Lower Carrier Build Time 2) Spawn with 8 Interceptors + Catapult Upgrade 3) Add a speed upgrade. 4) Make Interceptors Build faster. | ||

Not to mention proxy Stargate dealing wayyy to much damage economically than even now. Protoss's already got a unbeatable late gate deathball vs. T and Z. If they buff the early game harass units, it's going to be fcking ridiculous.

Don't make such a huge exaggeration please x.x | ||

The unit's mechanics are broken, it has half the armor it used to, and must contend with cheaper devourers that build from a standard spire and flying goliaths. It could build in 60 seconds and still blow chunks. | ||

Terran Stuff: The MU was pretty balanced, will be zerg favored now. Mech still wont be viable, vipers and swarm hosts are too strong. Tank buff will help vs swarm host, but I don't think it will be enough. Bio/tank will be too weak vs heavy muta styles for it to be viable. Roach buff: Could see some cool use in ZvP. Just hope the meta doesn't evolve into 3 base burrow roach all in's, that would be awful. Those are my initial thoughts. Could be wrong. Need to play and watch more to be sure. | ||

But in their current form, they take so long to build that by the time you get that number, your opponent has had plenty of time to overbuild vikings/skysquids. | ||

Basically Marine/Marauder, but w/e/ - that's again Marines, right ?? Hell, you can even add Medivac to that, but that's still just basically Marines, only this time differently dispersed across the map and also healed.. Terran revolves around 1 unit too much and that's what needs to be fixed.. Mech is one of the ways to achieve that.. Perhaps sky-Terran play is another.. Do your pick.. Doesn't matter.. What matters is - make the game work and make the Terran race work that won't be as Marine-centric as currently is.. If you make a race revolve almost entirely on one unit, then you severely classify the race's abilities according to that 1 unit - i.e. - the race as a whole has the benefits and the drawbacks of that same unit.. What's even worse is the following: Early-game ?? - Marines, Mid-game ?? - Marines, Late-game ?? - Marines (oh yeah, forgot though - these things are 3/3 now, so it's a different unit..  ).. Like - the tech-transitions should be smoother due to any other unit than the Marine, it's just no good if one and only one T1 unit is most efficient (if you remove it's threats ofc.) whole game long..The ultimate goal is to make Bio/Mech work, not just mech, still - to make that work, mech needs to be fixed first.. Well Said, so many people get caught up with Terran's saying that were doing fine look at blizzcon, and were fine at balance percentages. But time and time again people forget that T has revolved around 1 unit since release and frankly its getting old as shit. Every time I try and get back into this game I just get past a few games and realize that I am stuck building the same unit and doing the same 10 minute 2 base aggression builds every game. Thats why you see so much backlash from T players here on the forums. And now with the widow mine nerf, guess what unit we will be massing even more of to kill Z.......... | ||

Its time to experiment some pure mech or bio + mech when facing the ridiculous Protoss. I mean, if we don't try, Blizzard will not see our difficulties for using mech and they will not be able to help us effectively. In fact if i am Blizzard i will be frustrating as well when i try to help you guys to play differently but all you do is stick to the old bio style and keep whining. Take it positively guys if you love the game, or else you might as well uninstall SC2 and play something else. | ||

Oracle Movement speed increased from 3.375 to 4. Acceleration increased from 2 to 3. Units that burrow or cloak while under the effects of Revelation will once again be revealed after unburrowing or uncloaking. - muta-esque micro incoming from oracle . and of course more oracle opening in tvp. TERRAN Armory Vehicle and Ship Weapon upgrades have been combined. Siege Tank Siege Mode attack period decreased from 3.0 to 2.8. Widow Mine Sentinel Missiles now deal reduced damage to units caught within its splash radius based on their distance from the target: 40 damage within 1.25 radius. 20 damage from 1.25 to 1.5. 10 damage from 1.5 to 1.75. goodbye tvt bio hello hellbat-marauder-viking-ghost - i think - tvp i think more tvz hellbat-tank ZERG Roach Warren The Tunneling Claws upgrade now increases burrowed Roach movement speed from 1.41 to 2. more roaches in all matchups | ||

BCs are so bad in all matchups, even worse than carriers IMO. Maybe make Yamato a cooldown based ability, or make it so BCs cant get feedbacked. | ||
