This patch will solve very little, because the problems with mech and sky transitions where never about upgrades. I really do wish people would try to understand this game better, so I wouldn't have to point out how wrong their assumptions are each and every time they post. | ||

I really look forward to see how hellbat marauder viking will do vs protoss now with the upgrades. It feels that this patch will maybe open mech play in all MU. I still wonder though how terrans can deal with protoss with mech but maybe WCS 2014 season 1 will give us the answer. | ||

Terran should have one upgrade apply to ALL units, because terran have 9 types of production buildings. Zergs on other hand should have separate upgrade for every unit because they have 1 production building. Toss should be something in between. What makes terran not fun is extrime cost of switching, when it cost nothign for zerg and little for toss. | ||

I agree as well, it's in a such a weird spot. early game chessy/worker raid unit, a support unit in mid to late game. but the support utility is too weak (?) to justify the production in mid game. would love blizzard to actually push it to become a full utility unit instead | ||

Vikings may help, but 2 or 3 imbaclouds can finish the game for T. its not worth the risk. | ||

I guess it would make me fast tho xD | ||

But seriously they really need to look at oracle again. If this change won't be taken away, I want to see decrease in accelartion (just to make micro harder) or dmg. btw, does it mean that they increased the burrow speed itself rather than roach speed upgrade buffing burrow speed? That's interesting. I still want tunneling claw to be lower cost though... Nevertheless, overall balance changes are good  | ||

For people trying to understand mech vs P,Banshee is a very useful tool during the whole game,you only need to watch their games (avilo,HTOmario..) | ||

Depending on your strategy and unit composition you may want stalkers/air units on an extra one and a warp prism/oracle added. Why not, definitely doable. | ||

If the map doesnt look like Akilon Wastes with 3 expos tied together, you gonna have a bad time with mech when Mr. Warprism comes to remind you, that attacking the P was a bad idea. I am really afraid of what happens when LotV is out for like half a year. Because then really nobody is gonna give a damn about the game problems anymore. These patches are stalling for time, nothing else. | ||

They'll either be overpowered or underpowered. I'm not sure about widow mine, but oracle has hope. it is a spell caster. you can have 'any' spells. Oracle had enormous changes in beta remember? I wish they will change again in Lotv | ||

Maybe I am just worried about getting confused by all the spellcasters, if it so would be necessary for toss to use them all that is | ||

Not gonna participate in that tank debate, though I would love to see it become badass again instead of a pussy unit that fires off 1 shot and dies. | ||
