These changes are good...so is the fact you cry babies are going to quit playing... The tank buff will make early Blink Stalker play significantly weaker (a good thing) - It will also make Roach busts weaker ( a good thing). The Oracle buff gives the Oracle more longevity (a good thing). The WM nerf means heavy ling play is more feasible v T ( a good thing). All those positives easily cancel out any negatives... | ||

There were almost no whine about it, it was an underused unit and even terrans where kinda glad about it. Oracle is already imbalanced and will be much more in the future. | ||

At the very least it seems inconsistent. AFAIK that's not what they said; their point (according to Cloacken's comment afterwards, at least) was that they preferred for micro that is more visually apparent and easier to understand rather than something that relies on complex hidden mechanics. | ||

You mean getting picked off or shut down almost right away in nearly every game? If the motivation behind the Oracle buff is that it is too slow and fragile for even very skilled players to consistently keep it alive, then sOs' games were a decent demonstration of that being the case. Of course, I think basing everything one one tournament is more than a little sily. But if you look around at Protoss play in general on the pro level, Oracles as a unit that remains alive and active throughout the game isn't really something we see almost ever. | ||

If it wasn't good, sOs wouldn't have done it 7 games in a row at Blizzcon. | ||

I also hope that more details of the 2.1 patch beta come out soon. I'm eager to hear what the remastered BW music sounds like. | ||

Yea, it's insanely hard to keep an Oracle alive. sOs' Oracles barely did anything in the Bomber series, in the Polt series they did good in 1 or 2 games and nothing in the others. I think it's pretty awesome now, if you're good enough you can clip a Mutalisk flock with Revelation and escape. | ||
