Let's take this unit here, just this unit here, and have do so and so damage to that unit, but not to this one because.. of that reason. Then again, we're going to take this building and buff it only this kind of unit, but only by this amount, because we want it to counter this biological flying unit but not the other biological flying unit. These changes. They don't feel pro at all. | ||

Also I don't think I'd even notice the difference between a snared broodlord and one moving at regular speed. | ||

They don't feel pro at all. but... if a problem is specific... why would the fix not be specific? if your software is faulty, do you fix the code or ask windows to release a patch that makes your software work better? i realize there's something "clunky" about hotfixes like this, but it's much much better design from a gameplay standpoint IMO... how would it be "better" to make changes that affect things that aren't even part of the problem? you realize that's actually partly what CAUSED this, as spores killing broodlords so easily is a side effect of the muta vs muta patch? | ||

Tiny, subtle changes that don't light the world on fire. | ||

OK then, that's pretty pro. But it still feels somewhat like band-aid solutions. then again SC2 is a game designed to be a cutting edge esport ^_^ | ||

For example, this will fix SH wars in ZvZ with the implicit statement that SH wars in TvZ and PvZ is fine. It also suggests that since the only change to the Hydralisk is its +bio air damage then it implicitly states that Blizz is fine with Zerg air play. As to the explicit goals of their fixes they are on the mark. | ||

If frenzied is to stop movement affects then Maruaders cant slow down ultras no more right? that means we can actually use T3 vs terran now? You are so slow.

The new part would be that Marauders can't slow Broodlords anymore Except that both Ultralisks and Broodlords are in addition massive units. | ||
