Cause that's not exactly a small buff.


Two shotting in the first splash radius instead of 3, as well - it is a big buff

I think nerfing Ravager Corrosive Bile to 45 damage is the wrong way to go. A better way would be to make buildings not take any damage from Corrosive Bile, just like storm doesn't hurt structures. In that way Protoss would have a much easier way of defending Ravager pushes.
If they implemented this the nerf to Liberators would not be necessary.

I would like the proposed changes to buff Siege Tanks damage. Medivacs should still be able to pick up tanks in siege mode but that would instantly unsiege them.

Only because you can't make it work on ladder it doesn't mean it's dead.

Agreed, this way Terran can also rely on base setup and Bunkers to fend of Ravager rushes. Let Corrosive Bile be a proper zoning tool and let Banelings be what you use to bust a building wall.

1.33x damage nerf is partially because of the interactions that they have with siege tanks as well as libs - and many protoss units

I saw Soulkey use it today also. Not in Code S anymore Less gas and more minerals mean that there is less banes and more marines. Freedom also shuts down muta plays hardcore nowadays.

I'll be really disappointed if tankivac is removed. It's one of the chances for players with better micro to actually turn games.

You can still lift tanks, you can still make ghost or liberators and you can still harras with liberators but they will be a bit less effective.

What a load of crap.


exactly. Removing the only exciting thing about terran.

I am worried about Tank oneshoting Lings, I think it could be OP but I am not sure about it. Excluding that I think it is an incredible good patch overall, but if you ask me I think they could do some changes to the Tank (not all together anyway)

- Reduce the set-up time for Siege/Unsiege
- Increase the attack delay if they buff its damage
- Reduce the attack delay if they don't buff its damage
- Let them pickup in Siege but remove it while loading them

Overall I think it is an incredible good patch until now, I hope it works and go live ASAP

Why don't all the people who are so excited from these changes just go play HotS? Because that's what we are heading to, just nerf everything new in LotV.

Because the Tank was rubbish in HOTS, and with this buff it might become good.

I am guessing by reading the comments that most people havent tried out the map.

Anyone with videos of the current feel of the game?

Yes! Bye bye tankivacs
But I don´t think the tank dmg buff is enough to make up for that.


That's ok. I'd rather be a nerfed Terran playing a great game like Starcraft, than an OP Terran until I race switch. It's that big of a deal for me in TvT. Choose your race according to the mirror matchup you hate the less they said. I would prefer PvP or ZvZ even now. In the long run if the gameplay is ok, the balance will come.

True.

Most any terran tankivac should stay is probably worried more about Balance versus other races (particularly zerg), than thinking about the betterment of Terran gameplay. At 3 months after LOTV launch, I would suggest that getting the gameplay right is much more important.

I believe that it was Big J that mentioned in another thread that the only thing that will beat probing for a doom drop with tankivac will be probing for a doom drop with tankivac. This begins to look alot like Hellbat use early HOTS, or Mutalisk wars before the spore buff. There were gameplay and strategic diversity issues in those situations as well.

Marinelord vs bunny. Mlord said that TvT was shit with the patch.

Which isn't surprising doomdropping is way worse than tankivac

One player lost with it. Surely that means it's not viable anymore.
By that logic bio is also not viable anymore because players lost with it.
Also get your facts right. Mineral to gas ratio is the same as in HotS

That would make protoss early game defense even more dependent on cancer core, though.
