Good changes, except swarm host (still an improvement). Remember when Blizz introduced the swarm host and said it was a zerg siege breaking unit? None of that seems applicable. It simply has no reason to exist. It needs a design overhaul with a clearly defined purpose.

what about adepts? adept harrass is also to strong imo. the shade ability doesnt punish the toss in any way, its basicly a free scout, where the opponent cant do anything about it and also provides an option to set up a rly strong harrass

Yeah adept harass is absurdly strong but I don't really see a way to reduce their harassment potential without making them completely useless.

Make shade cost (just a random number) 20 shield so we dont get the endless free shading.

Yeah the SH and Cyclone need some real work to make them useful, i don't think changing around costs will help them.

Can't believe it took so long to do this for Thor but thank god they got there. Rest looks pretty good too.

Good update and it's nice to see he is listening.

While he's at it, he should also listen about the wanted nerf to the tankvac and buff to siege tank dmg. This has been by far the nr 1 wanted change since the beginning.

I still don't understand why would they want to increase the supply of the cyclone and sh and not that of the tempest and a couple other air units ? Why not make the game ground based again ? Also what happened to the proposed change of removing tankivacs and increasing siege tank damage ? Almost the entire community was happy when it was announced and then it kinda fell into obscurity.

i don't think the 3 units are related. the increase in supply count for the 2 units in question is put in place so that they are not massable in the late game.
i like this post mort-em update thing.

JUST MAKE COLLOSI RANGE BASELINE . You did it with the tank, the lurker. This would fit for protoss very well.

Terran needs a better early game.I don't think any suggestion of this community for cyclone address that.Reduce cyclone's mineral cost a bit so terran can research mag-field.
Liberator nerf is needed unless people still want mass air vs mass air battle .Thor change isn't enough doesn't mean liberator doesn't derserve a nerf.

why should tempests be massable lategame? it does nothing except promoting mass air battles

I think it may be even better to make it 8 range baseline and remove the upgrade instead of having 6+3. More useful in early-midgame and less useful late

why should tempests be massable lategame?


Tempest 4 supply is gonna go sooner or later. With changes to some units like Libs doing 5+2 light instead of 7 AA this is especially true

I disagree about the new address for Thor and Liberator, they were going to be completely different, and serve for different purposes, how SC is meant to be, rewarding good builds, scouting and adaptation. They are also overlapping to vikings in their function.

SH won't worth for any purpose with such a cooldown like that, no matter what price. Very worrying they still aren't concerned about Ultras.

This is an improvement, definitely.

A few areas still of concern with the game, to name only the most pressing:

- Thor and cyclone's lack of range to deal with BL/Tempest.
- Tempest supply too low.
- Marauder nerf coupled with 8 armor ultras.
- Tankivacs going against proper design.

Why are tempests still 4 supply, but the counter (raven) is now no longer usable?

i think liberators were supposed to be anti muta, cuz terrans struggled against mass muta in wol and hots, so NOW the liberator is where it supposed to be. it was never the plan, that liberators counter everything in the air.

the thor is something like a lost child for blizzard. they never had a plan, what the role of the thor should be. maybe it was meant as antiair for mech play, but mech is relatively easy counterable nowadays, so they lost their role and now, blizz is searchen for a new place in the game for them.

i like where it is going. some anti heavy air is nice to have and cuz the single dmg, expensive units like broodlords are still worth their costs.

Just throwing out an idea:
Reduce adepts' attack speed by 20-40% when shade is active?

What exact situations do you think that adepts are a problem in? I have not seen many particularly problematic situations recently (esp since -1 damage for 3-shot on scv's and marines)

People complain about adepts, phoenixes and immortals in ZvP and the immortal is being reduced in power some but this is a matchup that has a lot of very powerful units on both sides, it's also not a matchup that's heavily imbalanced in P favor. I don't see the justification for nerfing these other units as well unless you want to nerf 6 units on both sides of the matchup.

As terran:
Thor:Nice to see the switch mode,but I think the Thor need a damage buff to become cost\efficient.
Cyclone:I don't like the changes,cyclone need a serious buff and removing the lock on would be the best choice.
Liberator:Let's see how it works,obviously better than the previous patch.
Hope to see something about tankivac soon

I'd be pretty enthused by a tankivac change/revision. Honestly it makes TvT more hellish than it helps in any other match-up just because tanks are non-viable / rarely-used in any other matchup. I've seen some games where people take a few meditanks vs zerg, but it would seem that having liberators is almost as good if not as or better.

The problem with the liberator change isn't the nerf itself, it's terran not having a real late game in tvz. They can nerf the liberator for the sake of design and that's fine, but they need to realize that it's the only thing keeping tvz late game alive at all.
