EPTMy first reaction would be for infestors.
The way it could teleport AND use spells when burrowed will make them IMBA

I like this Icefrog attitude right now. Although the game is in a better state than most previous metas, it's not perfect and a fresh shakeup is what it needs to spike viewership and avoid stagnation until the design and balance is in a better spot. At least we get a few months of testing starting this week to smooth things out. | ||

Everything in the thread promotes more rewards to players for doing nothing but defending until a max army max economy. There is no way that will help viewership - it can't be possible. | ||

Mech right now after this change won't have good way to deal with air- other than going air themselves. Thors do somewhat ok job at it but only against light air units- its High impact mode doesn't do much damage to justify making it for pure anti air counter- just as a generalist unit What air units do you think are going to be a problem? Broodlords no longer outrange thors (and aren't cost efficient if you're killing the broodlings), tempests got a range and supply nerf, carriers lost release interceptors and took a health nerf (from HotS where they weren't used at all). And all that's assuming that teching up to mass air deathballs is even viable anymore. | ||

In the current state absolutely - that's why nobody does it - but with these changes gtd the meta will settle out to waiting as long as u possibly can to grab ur 4th / 5th / 6th split map and see who can sit in their chair longer without hanging themself without attacking into their opponents defenders adv. | ||

People look forward to Dota 2 patches, people dread SC2 patches. | ||

Thor actually does great vs brood lord at +2 attack until it gets to 10+ brood lord situation then it starts to get duck behind each other even with mass clearing. The thors size make them unable to fire at once Thor trades extremely inefficiently vs carriers. Like 1 for 2 or 3. Go test it yourself. Thor are terrible vs carriers even after the changes and 5 mineral interceptor will promote carriers and mech needs to turn to air for that if say 2-3 appears | ||

Nobody wants to watch 50 minute split map games. Period. I don't care if this makes terran stronger it makes the game so boring - and yah lets take tankivacs away which in the current meta are 100% necessary for holding multiple all ins in both non-mirrors- and the icing on the cake - absolutely no word on ultralisks the most fucked unit in the present meta - naw we'll just leave those alone..because in all likelihood they won't be imba anymore when every terran goes mech..guess it's time to find a new game after 6 years - thanks blizz Using bio simply wont help turtle if you watch snute.vs.uthermal or games like such | ||
