Balance and the how/why changes matter changes between them.

Korean PvZ is heavily P favored and you restrict Z a bit more ? Come on. Where did you get that info? The only one demolishing Zergs are Zest and Deer. And they are demolishing them on fair maps, not the super creative ladder maps. The rest of the world plays on maps which are heavily Zerg favoured, which is why aligulac stats favour Zerg. That being said, buffing photon cannons is the wrong thing to do. Stalker AA damage should have been buffed to flat 14 dmg. | ||

The unit is simply too strong and too well rounded for cost. It needs to lose some of its versatility. | ||

The problem is it was created to fill holes they're otherwise unwilling to fill with changes to other units. The late game AA aoe splash role could be moved (back) to the raven without problem, but they're unwilling to do so. | ||

I hate watching games with mass liberators. | ||

Edit: it says anti air, guess I didn't notice cannons had two kinds of attack. My bad. | ||

Don't spread misinformation you communist hippy scum. Everyone knows the number is 73%, and if you think differently it's because you're racist. | ||

The Thor nerf will make no difference as nobody makes them now, and nobody will make them after this change. | ||

So the Banshee buff is still in the works? Not sure that I like that - compensate the strong nerf of the Liberator in other ways. Yeah, it doesn't really make sense. The adept nerf patch was needed really badly and they intentionally delayed it until after Dreamhack. The liberator part of this patch doesn't need to be rushed out the door because it's not a major balance issue, but they're pushing it right before not one, but TWO dreamhacks and delaying compensation. | ||

P has phoenix range and +bioair to cannons both explicitly targeting mutalisks. Z has +bioair to spores, terran has liberator AA - all to deal with muta which had its regen buffed by 4x and speed buffed in the HOTS beta. It's not like being strong even allowed for them to be played more often because now we have these ridiculous specific hard counters in place - if anything, they're played less often and games involving them are less fun than before | ||
