So I guess he's choosing to ignore the impact, of the Cyclone and Siege Tank changes, on how good Ultralisks are.

It does not trade at all vs carriers if you ever played mech vs skytoss 3.it's more of map control thing but not that great tbh. 1. Old lock-on was 57 dps with a cooldown. New auto-attack is 71 dps all the time against armored units with 1 base armor (pretty much all of them). HP is now 180 instead of 120. Supply is now 3 vs 4. Can be reactored. I'm not sure what you're expecting, these stats are extremely strong vs for cost and supply, and if anything I expect the HP to get nerfed back down to 120 by release along with re-adding the tech lab requirement. 2. Carriers lost release interceptors. I'm not at all convinced that carriers will be an intractable problem, and in any case, we shouldn't balance the game around one, most likely rare interaction. 3. See point #1. It's baffling to me that you're complaining about the factory receiving what's essentially a super-marauder, but ok. | ||

cyclone build on TvP will most probably become standard play just sniping pylons like melted cheese which will make protoss players to be more strategic in placing pylons instead of placing it in the middle of nowhere.. Have speed banshee upgrade to armory since early game harrass with early banshees are going to be ridiculous... make it a high risk high reward in the early game and making skyterran viable with easier transitioning late game.. Reducing auto-turrets on ravens a tiny bit since they can just 2 shot workers Battlecruisers nowhere to be found... | ||

With the cost reduced to 5, it'll just be 20 more minerals to fill up the Carrier right after being built and 40 for the full complement of 8 interceptors. That should ease the resource drain. | ||

TLO also agrees that protoss is pretty fucked with their current planned design layout :D | ||

You are correct on that one. But main issue remains- mech has plenty of anti-armor on ground, and is missing heck a lot of anti air in return. My belief was that cyclone should have anti air role instead of the current anti ground role- Saying vultures covered anti ground isn't really true since it didn't do that much vs medium/large units. Comparable to hellion really. It took hella long time to kill a building or larger units | ||

Time for TLO to go back to the light and return to Terran. | ||

Yet, Ultralisks and Vipers are untouched despite having obvious balance problems. Protoss is just completely shafted by these changes. They need the old Immortal shield to counter balance the new retard power tanks. | ||

However, I question how they plan to differentiate Liberators and Siege Tanks. Seems like both units will do the exact same thing. | ||
