EPTThis would make it so they cant throw down 2 at full energy. And if people still want to complain rather than figure out a solution increase abduct to 100 so a parasitic bomb/abduct or blinding cloud/abduct cant be used off 200 energy. Higher costing spells also just naturally fit well with a unit that has strong abilities along with a way to regain it quicker than other casters.

This is boring to watch, boring to play against and in my opinion it is also boring to play. But in this patch mech was given tools not only for a slow but strong army, but also tools for a mobile and annoying army (early speed banshees, cyclones, etc). Utilize both and you can be active on the map while making your army at home. Or even invest in another rax, stim, some marines, and be active on the map while making a mech army at home (factories, upgrades, etc). I think that was Nechios point about a viable mech without sitting there and thinking you were unbreakable, You guys are claiming mech is viable at pro level. Based on what exactly? Theory? Which pro players are playing mech? Show me games to support that claim. | ||

We had that in Heart of the swarm and that was stupid as hell I'm not using my experiences since your level at the game obviously invalidates them, but snute explained on his stream last time i watched it how vipers + 7 range hydras + SH made mech terrible. He stated that mech can't ever push across the map, and is forced into massive turtling while being chipped away by SH and vipers. The viper isn't the sole reason mech sucks, since mech wasn't that bad before 3.8 (gumiho in particular), but with the hydra buff and the SH buff, mech simply has no answer than to turtle up and mass ravens, which is insanely boring. And i'd much rather keep a strong hydra than an extremely dominant viper, since it's the main reason why mech players cower behind a wall of turrets. | ||

So - narrowing the perspective to PvZ for a moment - we could remove Oracle and Viper, and since Protoss is losing the 'already more powerful' unit, give them a buff to compensate? | ||

Just pay Flash, Jaedong and Bisu Blizzard as the lead design advisors and there you have it. BW 2.0, which is a real RTS that everyone will want to play. I know, I am making too much sense, hence this will be ignored. | ||

1. Blinding Cloud reduces range of enemy units by 6. 2. Abduct range reduced by 1. | ||

This patch was supposed to help mech but made it much worse in TvZ. So when will this be corrected? Start by removing one range from Hydras, make Swarm Hosts more expensive and nerf Vipers. Increasing Colossus damage is the wrong move, fix what caused the problem in the first place, not some band-aid solution. | ||

These clowns just take reddit posts and the majority of whine as some kind of truth and start changing shit with 0 idea about the rammifcations at top level play It's also ever so obvious that noone at blizzard knows how games play out at grandmaster ++ on the ladder it's been like this since forever idk why it still makes me upset fml | ||

Btw terran has no good units and protoss has no good units. Yeah sure : I guess : Marines are bad, Reaper are bad Medivac are bad Tank are bad (just 13 range, and 70 dmg) Wm are bad Liberators are bad Raven are bad And adept bad, Immortals bad, Phoenix bad, chargelots bad, archons bad, Hight templar bad, Disruptor bad, DT bad, WP bad, Carrier bad. Why don't you switch to zerg, we'll see if you will become the first sc2 player of the world as Zerg so easy and so strong ? | ||

It's not a big deal for you that terran has acess to a 13 range unit with just a factory ? Zerg must tech hive in order to get vipers and get a tank counter, but you can't make vikings or HT to counter vipers ? You want that zerg have to wait broodlords tech to have something able to counter tanks ? | ||
