Hydralisk delay between attacks decreased from .83 to .75


That's exactly what it was before beta patch 5 of the wol beta.

reverting a change 4 years later lol

He did say he was willing to revert previous changes. I wanted them to switch back ghost cost from 200/100 to 100/200 though.

I would prefer a nerf to blink research time over blink cd, blink is a fun ability and it is one of the few things that p have to show off thier micro skill. so instead of nerfing the strength of blink allin its timming should be nerfed hard, make it so that terran have alot more time to react, pump rauders and get really close to stim finishing before a blink allin can hit them, one of the biggest problem with blink allin play is that it abuses the inability of terran to quickly react to a situation by building counter units, if T has more rauders out when the allin hits they will be in a much better spot. this kind of nerf has worked before, 3 rax to strong nerf stim time, hellbat to strong, make armory requirement and blue flame requirement. I don't see why this would not work on blink allin.

Overall not bad changes. I like hydras being buffed but I'm glad they're toning it down a little. I think the MSC vision range nerf is ok too. I think the blink change is a bit too much, but like they said they just want to have that tested in case blink play continues to be a problem. Buffing widow mines vs toss is whatever I'm a zerg player lol. The tempest change may introduce some new cheeses on the ladder but I doubt it will make a real impact on pro games except for late late game PvZ when there are spores everywhere and the toss is trying to gradually push in with an air army. Not surprised that they aren't ready to implement something regarding swarmhosts yet as they have to decide exactly what it is they want to change or nerf, but wouldn't be surprised to see something about swarmhosts in the next iteration of the balance test map

Isn't the problem with Blink the MSC and the horrible map pool? A nerf to Blink, in my opinion, is heavy handed and does not address the core problem(s).

Tempest change is ridiculous and shouldn't be implemented, address SwarmHosts by making them more microable(such as can't rally locusts).

Not sure how the Hydra buff will affect the meta but I think an HP buff would probably be better.

Widowmine change should be interesting for early harass and defense.

Thank god finally a MSC nerf.

Yeah the original change was to nerf ghosts w/ bio and buff ghosts w/ mech since you don't have the gas to spare when you're meching. Hasn't really worked out though

Did the Hydra gas change go through btw? So Hydras are only 100/25 AND got increased attack speed? Thats a little over the top i feel

Mothership vision nerf is good, dont know about the blink cooldown. Might be too much of a nerf.

Widowmine getting changed is good, though all this extra attacks that only affect shields etc are stupid in my eyes.

No opinion about tempest buff

Better to make researching longer but increasing cd is somewhat sad.

I'm a newbie in vision of SC2 but afaik most of air units have 11?
So 9 is a bit sad as well.



When you do a blink all in, what is the point of having MSC?

1. To provide high ground vision
2. To be able to cast time warp

Right now, you have 0 risk MSC that can't be sniped by anything terran has and you also have complete vision of outer edges of terran base so you can't risk blinking in a well defended place.

So all you use MSC for will still be available and even reduction to 9 won't change how MSC is used at all in TvP, it will just finally create some risks to protoss when doing blink aggression.

And aggressive play should be risky for the attacker.

But I doubt they will go as low as 9 even though I feel it is not such a big deal as it looks at first when you think about it a bit more (I was also surprised at first since I was expecting nerf to 11).

No this is an alternative change to the gas change for hydras, and the widow mine change seems to be to encourage openers and early plays that lead into mech vs protoss

TBH I'm surprised that people like the Blink nerf. I think Blink itself is not a problem at all, and in fact Stalkers are even a bit weak in the late game, the problem is that Protoss has approximately 4,239,771,004 early-to-mid game options (give or take 2), while Terran has like 3.

I would be down for that if they removed auto turret. But then ghosts are useless

I actually think that most of these Changes are pretty good but i doubt the ones concerning Tempests and Blink.

First of all, I agree with the idea of buffing WMs vs shields because it could make 4M viable in TvP as well as improve mech play. A bit more diversity shouldn't be bad at all.

Reducing the vision range of the MSC obviously is what the community requested for an eternity now but still i like the idea behind it. It nerfes blink allins because the Protoss has to be more careful about whether he should blink up or not. He just can't see as much as before and it's easier to set up traps on the high ground. Overall i think this change makes blink allins easier defendable but doesn't make them useless.

And there we are at the blink CD change. I'm sceptic about this one because it would not only effect TvP but also PvZ and PvP. Blink is a really fun ability and i don't wanna miss it in pro games.

Now the Tempest change: Well, i don't really know what to say about this one. I don't see the point in helping against SHs by increasing the damage vs buildings. Only thing i'm afraid of is that proxy Tempests might become pretty popular

The Hyrda buff again sounds nice, but i think is just yet another try to avoid changing the SH by making other compositions more useful.

As I said in the beginning, these changes seem pretty nice overall, but there are a few points (blink CD, Tempest dmg vs buildings) that might have to be worked on.

Ah okay. Then the Hydra change isnt too bad, though more Hp would probably better.. but its ok.
