Easy :D Thing is, you can't take ladder and streams right this day, or even maybe the ones from one weeks time as proof mech works or not. Right now playing mech is the equivalent of playing a cheese for the other races (mainly for protoss), because they don't exactly know how to scout for it yet and react to it. And like a cheese, mech is one of those things you can die to if you don't know its headed your way. Also the speed of solving a problem is directly proportional to the difficulty of solving said problem. Bio mine was a major problem for zergs so it took them 3-4 months to solve (and a small buff from Blizzard). Mech however has clear intrinsic problems and common sense says it should be solved relatively soon. Due too the above factors I can't prove it right now, but I am so certain this patch will do so little for mech, that I'd be willing to walk on hot coals should I be proven wrong. (I'll post it on youtube too!). | ||

I played mech in SC2 from the days of the WoL beta all the way until about a month ago when I stopped playing due to lack of time and lack of interest and if there's one thing that Protoss has easy against you if you mech is A) how easy it is to scout and B) how little they actually have to change to react to it. It's not like the difference between 2 hatch/3 hatch lurker or Muta in BW to defend since Bio and Mech can both be countered by the same things. Yes Collosus are not fantastic against mech (the only thing that isn't) but everything else is fine to use. | ||

I dont get what u trying to say. The time when SH are working against terran is when Terran is going mech. And that part of why Mech play is so boring. I havent seen any SH bouild work ever against bio since the med boost is in the game (belife me I tried). If there are any games. If I´m wrong with that, plz. prove me by showing me VOD´s/Replays of Highskilled Zerg winning against Bio with SH. Thx. | ||

What I'm trying to say is that Swarm Hosts are the reason ZvT mech can became a turtle fest for both sides, this has nothing to do with bio. | ||

Its online, might be they haven't updated the help tool yet but I had combined upgrades in all my games.

You kill them by switching your composition around and constant aggression. Also map design can affect this enormously, notice that they just removed the best mech map (Akilon) from the map pool. | ||

It 100% negated my style of play so I have to relearn the race and make a new style. Ofcourse with both of my statements I'm being a Drama King but still I feel like Terran has been punched in the nuts hard here (again) With making this change I wonder how David kim Actually expects the game to go? All i see happening now is Slow pushes into Zerg controlling the map expanding how he wants getting the tech he wants and just Face raping Terran 60%+ of the time.............................. I can hear it now though like Terran is going to talk about the difference in the game being to great to overcome and David kim's answer is going to be "Play Better"........................................................ | ||

Also with the new speed I think dodging any mines becomes almost trivial to a good player where as previously it was possible to lose an oracle to a well placed mine. Wouldnt surprise me if stargate became the standard opener in PvT now, at least on paper it seems to have everything. sOs thinks the same thing. I just don't understand all the negativity, how about we wait and see how it all turns out :D?! | ||

I like the other changes, the tank buff seems a bit insignificant though. | ||
