Blizzard once again ... for the 3485738758493th time... impressed the fuck out of me.

i remember Morhaime standing in front of the first 20 story office building he bought for Blizzard. The guy didn't have $100 worth of clothes on. what a great company.

Wanna bet on how long it takes him to say that Blizzard fucked up after the patch is released?

I'm betting negative time.

Oh hey, actual big changes instead of just small balance ones. This could be good going forward.


can't do massive changes in the middle of a competitive season. they have to wait until after BlizzCon 2016... and obviously they'll have to make sure the game is stabilized by the beginning of the 2017 competitive season.

The widow mine attack is a spell and therefore ignores armor upgrades I'm pretty sure.

Quit SC2 a few months after lotv cos it was so bad. However with these mech changes i might play again next year. Time to wait and see if they can bring me back into the game or if they will just screw it up like i expect them to

Widow mine now kills 1 baneling and leaves all the rest alive with 5 hp. Bio is dead without tanks. TvZ will have two possible faces after these changes. Banelings gettings a 33% increase in survival from marine focus fire and hundreds of times more likely to die on top of marines.

1. Late WoL ling/bling/muta suffocating Marine/Medivac/Tank
2. Full I-wanna-hang-myself turtle mech.

There's also a lot of chances of baneling all-ins being an every-game sort of thing. No tankivac micro options, unlikely to have the firepower to kill banelings.

No. The mine does 40 splash and the banes will have 40 hp.

Tempest ability seems quite idiotic in large numbers. Sure you'll have less of them since they cost 2 more pop, but you can't chase tempest with ground AA anymore. It's like adding a weak storm to the tempest, that is known to combo very well with storm.
It lasts 32 seconds, and has 42 cd. Only 10 secs CD?
With a 13 sec cast range that's actually quite the same, so i really don't see the point.

I'll be fine with DTs getting Blink if they temporarily de-cloak themselves on attacking. That way, DTs get a mobility buff and an escape cooldown while at the same time no longer punishing players with build order losses should they fail to build detection in time.

I stand (happily) corrected. I like to see more baneling to deal with adepts in ZvP. I hope they don't continue on their plan of making Ravager armored so turtle mech won't be the most horrible to face in TvZ.

Yup, a 13 range disruption field is almost the same damage potential wise as just flat-out giving Tempests 15 attack range, and that's why I feel unsure of this change. At least the supply cost increase should make them far less massable.

Just imagine DT's blinking onto spore/missile turret detectors all game and killing it before chance to respond.
