None of those things sound bad IMO. Giving Zergs better tools to deal with phoenix openings and warp prisms actually sounds like a wonderful thing and could help balance that match up as well. Maybe compensate with a Queen attack/attack speed nerf if the need would arise.

I kinda agree since P looks indeed slightly favored in PvZ with PICA ; I think this is something that could be tested because it has the potential to help in both mus as it would make the harass (be it banshees, meditanks, prisms or phoenix) easier to deal with. Needs to be heavily tested and monitored though, we all know what happened last time queens allowed Z to get to a favorable lategame in ZvT.

I think that better tools would be nice, but the Queen is already a bit of a weird unit. It's been buffed repeatedly over the years because of zerg earlygame woes rather than giving the tools in any other way. It's strong enough to be regularly used in large numbers and to be used regularly on offense (via hatch tech speed drop, nydus or just straight up walking across the map on maps like prion and ulrena) as they're pretty great units for the mineral cost and 0 larvae cost if you can get around the core weakness of no mobility off creep. They have some other interactions like augmenting hive units very well as well.

Do you really want to put that power onto the queen specifically? I can't think of a good reason to do that other than every other unit and mechanic being even less appropriate to touch

disclaimer: I play terran.

I'd rather see zerglings shoot up than another queen buff. remember what happened last time?

a queen AA buff will not only stop liberator harass, it'll stop banshees and medivacs too. how is terran supposed to open without the threat of drops or banshees?

I don't know how it would affect ZvP, but I think tier 1 hydras would be better than the proposed spore/queen changes.

I'd rather not but the options to fix both ZvP and ZvT would be
a) nerf liberators and possibly reapers, nerf phoenix, tempest, possibly immortals and then probably nerf mutas and ultras a drop to compensate

b)buff queens

Sounds like its the best of a bad situation

I don't think that buffing queen AA "fixes" most of those things. Many of the things that you consider it to fix are not a massive issue at the moment and/or affect multiple matchups as much as vs Z, so wouldn't be dealt with using a queen AA buff

Spore root/uproot time sounds like a very targeted change to that interaction. Queen AA buff sounds like it would affect a lot of interactions.

Blizzard.
Stop.
Buffing.
Shit.
Seriously.
If nerfing Liberators makes TvP(i don't think TvT really sees much lib use tbh) more brutal, then give some time for the pros to figure stuff out, and nerf the focking thing that makes TvP more brutal if it doesn't get solved in 2~3 seasons.

Here's an idea...burrow move banelings. Or we could go to Broodlord Infestor 2.0 now with Ultras and vipers... NotLikeThis :/

Queen range buff could be fine vs air only.

Or you could just make the liberator shoot SLIGHTLY slower.

Blizzard's habit of going for the smallest possible change is harmful in the long run. Changes like buffing spores vs biological units are unhealthy, since they don't solve the underlying problem. If Blizzard thinks the liberators are the problem in TvZ (personally I don't feel like that's the problem, but that's irrelevant for this argument) they should nerf the liberator instead of going for some inelegant change of limited scope. Mild repercussions to other match-ups shouldn't block a change from going ahead if that change is truly the best one. Those repercussions can be handled later or mitigated by other simultaneous buffs or nerfs.

Oh it did in the short term. After the change ZvZ was no longer a muta vs muta fest. However later in HotS it worsened the match-up considerably most notably by strengthening swarm host turtling, but also by narrowing tech options in the mid-late game etc. Nerfing mutas by removing the idiotic health regeneration would have been much better. It would have helped out ZvZ, and also down the line made PvZ better.

Spores doing bio vs muta did wonders in HOTS


It was a bad change overall as it targetted the symptoms rather than seeking to adress the true problem - muta strength after massive buffs to speed and regeneration that occured in late 2012.


Balance Update #8

Speed increased from 3.75 to 4

Balance Update #9

New passive ability: Mutalisk Regeneration
Mutalisk health regeneration rate increased from .2734 to 1.


Because of that response, the mutalisk and its interactions continue to suffer today (it's generally strong but the "OP" counters are too prevelant). It's painful to see how blizzard shot themselves in the foot and actually made the Mutalisk a worse and less usable unit through overbuffing it and then responding too strongly with counters.

People said as much the moment the patch notes were announced, this is not a "hindsight is 20/20" thing - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2-hots/387767-beta-balance-update-9#2

I'm not against any change in particular but these changes were a large straight buff and not properly dealt with. Some comparable changes in todays gameplay could be the 16% range buff on brood lords and +2 armor on ultralisk plating upgrade which were thrown in during the LOTV beta to change up the game just as these mutalisk buffs were added in the HOTS beta

Maybe nerf the phoenix and warprism, terran has a lot of problems with it as well.
