This seems like a band aid change to what really needs to happen: spread the units out more. Edit: also, i voted to like the roach burrow movement change solely because I'm a zerg player, not because i think it would be good for game balance :D | ||

They have a list of feedback and struggle answering it in an unified set of changes. Everything they try just feel random so far. Random approach to design can work, just try out hundreds of ideas and probably half a dozen will be valid. This method is used to improve top chess programs. The biggest difficulty is that you need to be able to recognize that a (random) change is good or bad for gameplay. I'm not convinced that Blizzard has the correct mindset for that (i.e. doesn't delegate this decision to their marketing department...). | ||

HERC- Just.. Just come on, again? Okay fine. Put the grapple on Hellbats or something? Make it an upgrade. Just stop talking about adding skill and micro to the game and then removing it from Terran every chance you get. Micro seems to mean to Bliz "everyone else does cool stuff, YOU react to it" when it comes to Terran. Thor- Yeah kind of a dumb ability on its own. I really dont see the Thor ever changing without a major redesign we all know we wont get. At this point I'd say give us the Odin hero unit they originally wanted to give us in HOTS. Phantom Dragoon- Would love it if Toss just got a unit with no gimmick. What is with them this go round and giving Protoss these "invincible" abilities this time around? Cloaked stasis mine, a unit that goes invincible and explodes you cant target, and now this. Immortal- Absolutely a fine idea to me. Stupid to make it an upgrade, I think changing how it worked in the first place made perfect since. Why make the shield tank 200 dmg in the first place? Would have made perfect since for it to just be normal hardened shields that you have to activate. Having a general Halo style "over shield" for dps absorption seems like way too much to me. Tempest- If we are going to be talking about too much overlap how about the Tempest. I thought the Voidray did this things job alright? Siege lines seem pretty easily broken by everything else toss, so I always felt this one was overkill, considering its damage, range, and health. Depending on the changes they want here, Id say a health nerf or supply nerf is needed along with the ground only damage. I dont understand why toss needs Disintegration. Infestor and Roach- NP rarely gets used, so Id honestly like to see there be some kind of change or ability replacement here. I think it makes way more sense to keep the infestor ability vs mass air since the infestor is the damage dealing spellcaster and the Viper is more about positioning than damage. A Viper with NP would make sense, but I dont know how that would work out in game. | ||

However, I can't find a single change that is great in this report. | ||

They removed, put back and removed again so many thing I don't really know what is in this version of the game and what isn't anymore. Well it's their internal version pre-alpha, they need to be able to do quick changes without having to write an entire community update. I think it's fine, they update us on the general direction. I want them spending more time testing and less time documenting. | ||

Strange, that would have been the very last thing I'd have considered to be an improvement here. Really unnecessary, will make P life a hell in early game -as if ravagers weren't enough. Looks like banshee speed to me. | ||

It would take them one minute to update a basic changelog that they can publish anywhere... | ||

You want a new gateway unit? Keep whatever unit you have, take away the stupid ability, give it more life/attack, make it so it can only be created from gateways and not from warpgates. Boom, strong core gateway unit that doesn't depends on robo units and at the same time it doesn't make gateway rushes super strong.

I always felt like the cyclone was so much more OP They removed the HERC because it had no real role, not because of its strenght, different to the cyclone wich fill a very important role (a mobile harras unit that is strong against the stuff the hellion isn't strong) EDIT: also apparently they listen Jakatak with the scan range thing, I wonder if they will listen to Lalush now | ||

They will probably merge it with movement speed upgrade, and not make it come by default when burrow is upgraded. I also don't see that being a big of a deal right now when Protoss needs another gateway unit to be able to deal with Zerg in the early game, Ravagers already made Force Fields a lot less useful. | ||

AKA the starbow dragoon It's mesmerizing how simple and good it sounds, and yet they seem too proud to do it and prefer to come up with really gimmicky wannabe innovative things. But I shouldn't worry, they are "very happy with how it is currently playing out" and they know their stuff, right ? | ||

Merged with movement speed sounds OK. I tend to agree with you after all. | ||
