^ David Kim's thought process Wait, why do we need a Hydra buff? Half gas cost Hydras? Maybe the reason ZvZ is all Roach wars is because Spore Crawlers are insanely overpowered against Muta now. If they weren't that strong, you'd see more Muta, and you'd see more Hydras. Sigh. How about they nerf the Swarm Host instead of this stupid Tempest buff? User was warned for this post | ||

EDIT: Why dont they simply change the photon overcharge range? That would be a great change that would at least allow windows of opportunitys for zerg and terran to attack a protoss. | ||

Blizzard needs to look at the big picture rather than coming up with a "solution" to an isolated challenge. I will just give them the benefit of the doubt and say they are just being lazy. Despite that, I am looking forward to how different things will be with these changes. SC2 needs a change, even if it is one such as this. | ||

MSC needs a major design change, making it tether to a Nexus and channel PO would be way better, would force toss to be a lot more careful, prevent double PO on 2 different Nexus and also force toss to dedicate some resources to ensure that at least the MSC survives to channel for full duration. While at it they need to gut the vision to something really low. MSC shouldn't be a catch all unit, it shouldn't be a scout, army support and defensive tool rolled into one, two of those need to go, and I'd rather it be scouting and army support components, as in make the vision range 6 or 7. Time warp is a small change that I'm not sure will have a huge enough impact, on the one hand if you ever needed to recall or PO you could only cast 1 TW anyway, this will only nerf that situation when you double time warp, and if the battle lasts long enough, you time warp again after 50 seconds. Still doesn't address the gist of the matter on how powerful it is because of duration and size. Hydra buff is beyond words stupid, thankfully its probably only one of their dumb experiments and won't make it live (I hope I don't jinx this). Hydra is actually a pretty strong unit when massed, this will make it even more cost efficient and its just a bad idea to have this come out in bulks when zerg has larva mechanic. Ghost change is kind of meh, a nice bonus but not really game changing, it won't actually help late game if toss can get there safely, because they already entered it with some sort of an advantage, either in tech, army or economy, or a bit of all, and this won't really help. + Mech needs tons of gas already for infrastructure and the core mech army, they can't afford ghosts. Tempest change is just... Overall I am not impressed. | ||

I like that they backpedal on the PO change with a simultaneous time warp nerf - I'd like it even more, if they didn't nerf PO at all and further nerfed offensive MSC abilities, like a energy cost bump for recall too. Tempest buff seems okish I guess, should really only have an impact on late, late PvZ MSC offensive nerf plus a little more mid/late game power with the ghost buff should be plenty enough to push PvT back to balance I think. | ||

100/100 upgrade for free? Almost meaningless, try adjusting the fact that terran cannot fight protoss head on after they have both storm and colossi tech. | ||

The funny part is, that it is a buff for terran bio more than it is to mech. | ||

If the MSC was practically blind then it could still do its job of being a mobile town portal and a nexus overcharger, but could no longer be such an easy high ground vision machine. The time warp nerf is approaching the right idea because that time warp was ridiculous when combined with Forcefield + Collosus + Storm. it's ridiculous on a ramp with blink and the nerf doesn't change anything regarding that. | ||
