How about a buff to adrenal gland to prevent Terran Bio from raping everything.

While I agree with a buff to adrenal glands, it would primarily come into effect against immobile units, such as Siege Tanks and Thors. Bio is almost always splitting or retreating against 'lings, so usually only a shot or two gets off against a good bio player before repositioning occurs. It would make cleaning up Marauder drops much easier though, which is nice.

Against Protoss, an improvement to adrenal glands might actually be imba, assuming no change to protoss is made. Zerglings would utterly ravage Stalker, Immortal, Sentry armies, even more so than they do already. They would also catch Archons out in the open and destroy them much faster. If the attack period were buffed from -18% to -25% (like it was in BW), either guardian shield would pretty much be required to be buffed, or Stalker shots would require a buff by at least 2 flat damage in order to keep splashless protoss armies from being totally destroyed by mass lings.

Although, to be perfectly honest, I'd love to see that happen.

Why they don't reverse the wrong direction they did in previous patch (Oracle buff and hellbat nerf)?
These 2 elements are the problem I think. Instead of looking for something else, reverse them.

easier access to emp is better or cheaper ghost .. helps terran vs protoss

endorses mech usage vs toss and helps bio vs toss

If the photon overcharge change go through I don't think I'll ever win against Hitman again.

Wait? Its a nerf, you know that? Or are you using the sarcasm?

He's talking about PvP. Nerfing photon overcharge favors aggressive players like Hitman. Photon overcharge basically just delays the fight for 60 seconds so the defensive player has time to get out some key units. Making it delay only 40 seconds is gonna ruin some builds.

what does built-in EMP mean? isn't EMP a ghost ability? do they want to give that ability to one of the mech units?

These units are a huge problem against mech, basically against a mech army these units take over the map (wich Zerg should be able to do against mech.), burrow and from there the Terran is never able to advance his possition at all. In fact they are so strong that they can actually do damage against Sieged Tanks, wich is too good and basically gives Zerg and options to lock down and destroy mech from afar without ever actually confronting the army.

Just remove Enduring Locust upgrade and make Locusts themselfs faster.

The big bad tank destroyer that will make hordes of staple siege tanks drop their pants (unsiege) and run for the hills. Nobody will ever make a significant number of tanks with a late-game in mind a long as there is no solution to the Brood Lord. At the moment you make vikings to combat the Brood Lord but the problem is that zerg then makes corruptors and infestors to beat your vikings and now we're transitioning out from mech into a air fight and so again you cant make a mech army for the late game in this state.

Seeker Missiles with Vikings and Yamatos already counter very well Broods-Corruptors.

Dude have you not seen chain fungal from zerg ? it happens all the time.

Easier EMP access should equal moving it to the raven and giving the ghost a new spell. Probably won't see that till LotV though.


This was ages ago for this thread but I don't care, haha. I think it'd be really cool to put EMP on ravens and give ghosts something like lockdown from Starcraft. This would create more opportunities for raven usage - which is good for mech in general - while preserving the ghost-vs-templar dance vs protoss because lockdown would be extremely valuable.

you cant use both .. since both are gas heavy .. if both are cheap then that would be the case .. if you use both you wont have enough for vikings

Even 30sec would be more than enough for the Photon Overcharge imo.

And trying to make mech viable again Blizzard... I don't know but don't.
Mech vs anything other than T bio is shit.
Giving the Raven EMP could be potentially useful tho.
The curse is real

I can see it now.

Next patch: Siege tanks shoot Roaches that EMP when they hit the ground.

What an ugly idea "Protoss nerfed, okay... OTHER RACES MUST BE NERFED no matter where! Hmm, lets nerf something, like hydralisk"

You wanna more heavy-mutalisk from zerg?

That's true in many games, yeah - though there are plenty of games where there's enough time and resources that a person could get a mix of the two in small numbers, especially if the cost of ghost upgrades were reduced. Having EMP on Ravens and Lockdown on Ghosts could also lead to interesting strategic decisions between the two.

You mean gasp instead of being able to be greedy and hold anything due to overcharge you may have to delay a 3rd by 20 seconds? Oh no probably not the overcharge still lasts a good amount of time. If it does make that big of a difference stop being so greedy.
When I think of something else, something will go here
