EPTOh, and remove the Warp Prism's pickup range already. It makes no sense that it's still in the game.

I would much prefer a Bile range nerf (to make Ravagers more vulnerable) or a Ravager Warren to delay aggressive timings. | ||

Considering how strong the unit would still be (especially after the range upgrade) and that the ravager nerf isn't supposed to affect ZvT anymore I think it's fine to not change the range. Might wanna change the other stats instead... Nerf ultras and adepts and we can talk about a liberator nerf. Terran needs liberators in their current state to stand a chance against the other races. | ||

It's ridicilous how Protoss can still play that matchup like ever he wants and going lategame against protoss is not an option. And what about Oracle? I can't figure if there is any other unit that can do so many things that Oracle does. You only need to build one Oracle and you can go safe 3rd base, it kills workers extremely fast, it is a detection, it's like the fastest unit in the game, it can scout enemy's army the whole game using revelation and it can even put some statis traps for extra map control. Oh and if you don't prepare against it you lose. And all this in one unit and you have to build only one during the whole game. Sounds fair? Oh, and remove the Warp Prism's pickup range already. It makes no sense that it's still in the game. Wait ... are you saying TvP is Protoss biased? | ||

If I am a KR pro and my livelihood in the next few tournaments depends on whether a powerful ability is removed, or left in the game for my race - what should I be saying to succeed? "Blizzard, Remove the tankivac it's wrong" and then go grind out my 12 hour training day in the game so that i can pay my bills? Is what is being said/sold important to adjust gameplay/balance, or the actual game data (watching replays) at the highest level? I am of the view that there could be a gap between the two. | ||

That is how I see it as well.. adds to the infestation. It is a nuisance for sure, but very "in character" for the Zerg race. I play Terran, but I love the diversity of the mechanics for all the races. | ||

Please take notice that four out of five factory units are currently under performing in this current LOTV version of SC. Hellions are beautiful of course. We thank you for Hellions. I have to say that I am a bit concerned that all discussions seem to go as follows: - Maybe Thors are in need of some help, well maybe not. - Maybe Cyclones are broken, well, let's wait and see. - Maybe Tanks should obtain a damage buff, or maybe they shouldn't. If all three units were new to LOTV, I would be less concerned. Unfortunately, two have been in a mediocre or bad state for quite some time (HOTS). Furthermore, I wouldn't call the fourth unit in need of help, Hellbats, game ending even if you are ahead in economy and/or army supply. Hellbats can be useful at times at KR level play - at best. Rarely will you hear: "Pro player has an army supply and is moving across the map to end this with an impressive army supply of Hellbat, Cyclone, Thors and Tanks". We are not asking for OP - just for something not too far behind nine barracks power to move out on the map and possibly finish a game when you are significantly ahead of your opponent. Edit: The widow mine is great but still a niche unit I think. No death ball or push at 200/200 is really having mines unless as support for MMM on many rax with double EB. Thank you. | ||

Can't describe how disappointed I am, tvt is pure cancer right now and a long delay on tanks won't fix that. Also the poll showed clearly that the vast majority wants the tank drop gone. It's been obvious since beta that they really don't give a damn what the players want. Polls were even clearer during beta, and they completed ignored them then. They will do the same again now too. It shows once again that their stance is a pure PR perspective. It doesn't matter what polls say, if it's anything that sparks any sort of major debate with top players, they will revert, regardless if it's better for the health of the game in the long run. The game is being designed for PR to minimize losses during it's decline, rather than being designed intelligently towards an overall vision of the game that will be approved by the community as a whole. Come on, are you really surprised? I mean look at how they opened up this weeks update...

We’re encouraged by the results of our collaboration with all the dedicated players out there who contribute to the StarCraft community on a daily basis. Thanks to you, we’re able to make the game better through weekly updates, balance test maps, and our constructive discussions. A healthy and positive community is vital to our game, especially when it comes to attracting new players and making them feel welcome. Let’s continue to focus on constructive feedback and work towards our goal of continually improving StarCraft II. Yeah... Because the atmosphere of the community is so positive right now.... In reality it's at one of the lowest points it's been at for the whole life of SC2... This is PR. They don't give a crap about polls. They don't give a damn about reality. The only thing that care about is that the few players and pro teams who have stuck with them this far don't leave. And that means no major changes. Even though major changes are what the game needs if it ever wants to receive a truly positive reception ever again. They should be focusing on growth, they even say "attracting new players and making them feel welcome" in the update, but in reality they are focusing on minimizing losses. Absolutely nothing they are doing is focusing on growth of the game. Absolutely nothing they are doing is going to attract new players or make them feel welcome. That should send a message to all of us loud and clear... | ||

I really don't think tempest needs to be nerfed. Revelation of the oracle is the real problem in my opinion. Happy to see that tankivacs might stay in the game. | ||

It limits the mobility of flying Siege Tanks and makes doom drops riskier, while those cool defensive pick-ups could still be feasible. Combined with a higher delay when shooting, and a damage buff, we could have the best from both options. | ||

For example, if we further increased the time before the Siege Tank can fire, we may be able to get the effect we’re looking for. What if the time it takes to go into siege mode and fire once is equal to the time it takes before a Siege Tank can fire once it’s dropped off by the Medivac while in Siege Mode? Well I think it needs to be slightly higher. The delay should be doubled from where it is now (so up to 3 seconds from 1.5 seconds). | ||

The Viper is so strong that it straight up prevents Terran from building half of their units in fear that the Viper will easily shut them down. Which means Zerg never actually needs to build Vipers. Which means Vipers feel useless. It's like Immortals in HOTS PvT, they seem completely useless but if they didn't exist mech might actually be viable (maybe possibly) and then you'd desperately want Immortals. Long story short, hard counters are bad. | ||
