changes that are necessary:

-liberator range upgrade removed
-tempest 6 supply
-ultra armor reverted
-parasitic bomb removed from the game

no idea really, I mostly just play arcade sometimes now but i still watch sc2 a couple of times a week so I'm interested to see how the GM players go with the changes.
Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I've been enjoying the direction of LOTV overall, but I really really dislike this patch. I'm probably just being unreasonable since I personally struggle a bit with TvZ.

If you buff cannons - nerf phoenix - this should be straight and clear - if you want to change this type of play. Swarm host, oh my, this unit is bad, it doesn't belong in this game. Why are you doing this. Change the unit. Buff something else. Create a new unit anything but this. Why eliminate mutas from the mu? Nerf mutas if you are so determined to shut down zerg muta play. You are also shutting down corruptors and drops.

This is my BIG concern with the patch too. I don't think anything that (even so slightly) makes
1/ drop based play à la Dark weaker
2/ transitions to turtle airtoss + storm stronger
could be healthy for the game. As I said multiple times before, a AA +light change (instead of +bio) achieves the same goal without those issues and would begin to address the PvP phoenix wars.

So what will the zerg do against SkyTerran beside hope that they'll be lucky and get the best possible engagement or have complete chaos in game like Elazer vs MarineLorD in HSC EU1 qualifier? Zerg already have the weakest anti-air IMO and PB only makes it so they are even in ZvT and not even that in ZvP(though that is more an issue of tempest being 4 supply).

I like the Thor change but I don't think it has the range to be useful against Brood Lords or Tempests. Range upgrade would be a fantastic addition.

The cannon change will make terran attacks even easier to defend with phoenixes... Just lift the units into cannons.

Wrong change with cannon.

If they're doing this with thor, they should restore the ability to switch modes. Why was it removed in the first place?

Those poll results. This is further proof Blizzard is completely clueless about what the community wants.

Yes, Terran needed nerf and Protoss needed buff LUL.

Like seriously, when are we getting any info on Tempest?

No patch would've probably been the best but it's still better than all the silly changes they tossed around during months.

Decent maps would be a good start before doing something...
Zest fanboy.

Is that AA change to Liberator a nerf or a buff? What was it previously?


Previously 7 damage +1 light. It's a 1 damage nerf to units like mutas and a 3 damage nerf to corruptors. Rather large...

ETA: it attacks twice, so applied twice.

Now every protoss will just go skytoss and campy vs Zerg, as if a maxed end game Protoss army is not hard enough to deal with as is lol
