Someone did that math and the attack speed boots equals a second volley against charging banelings, which is twice as much damage as before. But you have to see them at work to get a feel for the change. It's a joke because Tanks always fire 2 times, since baneling weren't running in a straight line. So it change nothing. | ||

It is not that Adrenal Glands are bad(they are worse than in BW though), but the lings that are problem. There are to many things that just makes them evaporate unlike in BW, so they usually won't attack much. | ||

the top posts on TL, reddit and the b.net forums called on David Kim to test increased flat damage for tanks, changes to hellion/viking transformation time, and changes to the thor. It's completely ignored and we get a petty change for an already insignificant unit. hope this fucking imbecile chokes on his paycheck. | ||

Well, then suppose that this buff gives them the chance to fire a third time. It's true that the buff only increases their average DPS over a long period of time by a small amount, but what engagement lasts for a minute, let alone two or more, in Starcraft? One extra shot from each of the six tanks in your army is significant, should it play out that way.

Hey person, maybe wait and see how the actual good players handle it before wishing death upon people? A little bit of maturity will take you a long way sometimes. | ||

Thank You I was hoping someone else was going to point that out LOL BTW Gasless Expand really isn't seen as viable anymore nless you go CC first LOL Which again you won't get enough marines out in time to defend it. Now if we now have to absolutely 100% play gasless expand 1 rax fe just to stay safe to this one build every game then how is this playing into their big picture of creating diversity? | ||

If you look at any decent mech player nowadays they all play with a ridiculous amount of mines and with relatively few siege tanks in TvZ . The main reason is that mines are extremely versatile and combine well with tanks as they deal with their hard counter pretty well. I look forward to see how people will remplace WM with sky terran with the upgrade fusion but it will be hard as !@#$ to go both mech and sky terran with the limited gas ressource you have. So this patch is nothing but a huge nerf to mech in its current state in TvZ. But guess what this does not apply to TvT where the tank buff +armory merge will give a big edge to mech ! Merging air and mech upgrades feels good lategame but WM helped a lot to survive to the lategame. Now that they are nerfed to the ground how many people will get to that stage without being ridiculously behind.... not much I'm afraid. To resume this patch is an excellent way to transform TvT into a mech fest. This is a nerf to TvZ mech and might make mech viable in TvP. It's not what I call a patch that can make mech viable and balance in all MU. But nice try DK ! Nice try!! And I almost forgot. thanks really for upgrading oracles after sOs showed the world you can go proxy oracle every single game and be safe to transition to templar. Now protoss will always have air tech to counter directly mech. Awesome job !! Bravo ! Congratz !! | ||

Makes a big difference in damage dealt for ling drops/runbys as well.I wonder when Blizzard is going to make Adrenal glands worth getting. People are stupid. | ||

Gasless expand is very common and more than viable against Protoss? I'm not sure what you're getting at here. | ||

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. Really, we should make a selection of the top 10 stupidest posts, get the data of the posters and send their CVs to Blizzard, so Blizz can send a reply saying: "yes we could give you work IF you can pass a simple CI test because your intellect is so slow and your brain so messed up that you actually believe in the shit you are writing". For example, this stupid post. | ||

Tanks fire .2 seconds faster, which means they get their kills .2 seconds faster after their initial volley. This means .2 seconds where your other units aren't shooting the units the tanks killed, and .2 seconds where those units aren't contributing to the enemy army's overall damage output. That's .2 seconds of attacks the enemy units don't get to make. Then the next volley comes .2 seconds faster, so that's .4 seconds those units miss out on doing DPS compared to how it used to be. It adds up pretty quickly. It's the principle behind 2 zealots beating 6 zerglings, but 8 zealots absolutely slaughter 6 zerglings with no noticeable damage suffered. The faster your army deals damage, the less damage your army takes and the more you have left over after the battle. Tanks firing faster means their damage is dealt faster, which means enemy units have less time to do damage back to you. | ||

Just look at the number of times they've posted in this thread - if they had something to contribute, they would have said it already. Instead they are just flame-baiting responses and enjoying the show. That's not quite fair, I've had a lot of good ideas too. I've just suggested waiting to see how the balance changes affect the game before complaining about it. Nothing wrong with that. | ||
