Why don t you change race ? You are still able to try Terran or Protoss to know if they have more synergy...

There are coruptors, vipers, ravagers and hidras with superb mobility. Stop asking for 1a solutions against units that trade ALL of their mobility for fire power.


What u're saying is wrong and pretty much funny as u cry since years for a-move AntiAir for mech Terran. LOL
And it's clear to me that u never faced Protoss on 3.8 patch while playing Zerg. Also uo forget that hydras are only little bit faster on creep. That's all. Carriers, just when they reach number of 5 are pretty much unstopabble. And knowing this from pro players feedback, Blizzard decides to nerf core midgame antiair unit for Zerg, basically reverting it to the same shit as it was at 3.7.

Now. This changes are Huuuuge nerfs for Zerg.


Where were you in 2016 ? Zerg has the lead in the Korean Ladder and the European ladder... I m just asking why people bullshit on Zerg while they dominate 3.7 patch,

ffs fungal burrow is irritating for players, they have to scan each step moving on creep.


They could also make Raven. Or it's to hard for ppl queueing MMM on their production facilities?

lol so many people crying about op mass hydras and win being taken away like lmao the amount of games that were won just by massing hydra is hillarious. also hydras always good pvz how are you gonna buff them and not break the matchup and also 25% faster on creep is a little? LOL dont dimiss that buff gives hydra way easier time to split vs aoe as well as run away from fights, reinforce faster etc.. i wish protoss player would whine as much as zergs ...

It was prob. a hotfix, so you dont need to download anything.

If you look at the old replays, they still use the old balance but are in the current version and don't require loading an old version.

If all balance changes can be done this way, then that would mean in the future we shouldn't need to load an old version to watch old replays.

and the sad part is that they buff the tank then immediatly nerf blinding cloud which should tell every zerg that the ability was ridiculous in the past when tanks only did 50dmg and the ability was 11 seconds

i mean look at the criticisms and ad hominems i receive calling me biased for saying that the ability was too strong back in hots, and now we get 85 dmg siege tanks and a 40% time reduction on blinding cloud, and its still too strong for most...

mech has just not been played by non mech gods who devote all their time to the style, so when casuals do it you get to see the immense skill it takes to mech it happen™

it is still so powerful most people wont be able to play mech or wont want to, thats the hilarious part, it is too strong depending on what leagues you are balancing for, until you hit diamond/master i wouldnt even attempt mech due to how hard a counter blinding cloud + broods and parasitic bomb are to mech, i do not see plats or below making ghosts to counter the vipers on top of having to manage their mech army just right for anti air/ground...

and then there is invincible nydus which has not even been adressed due to how rare it has been seen, thats going to get nerfed next.

SC2 engagements are fast,so while 40% looks huge if its still long enough to roll over the army it's not really a nerf at all. The tanks still don't fire. Mech still isn't all that viable as long as there are vipers and the ability to click on the tanks.

It says: " From Dark’s and Zest’s dominance in Korea in the early part of 2016,"

Does it make sense to you ?

I just need to fully commit to quitting Protoss and playing Terran, because I'm always so disappointed with the balance changes. I'm sure I'm a bit biased, but it seems like Protoss is an afterthought in the recent balance changes. It feels like Blizzard is busy buffing Zerg/Terran to deal with eachother, and then addressing random anti-Protoss concerns from 6-12 months ago.

What I take from that, is there's a lot more advocates with experience playing Terran/Zerg - like they have lobbyists and Protoss doesn't. Maybe that's just the vibe I get from forums and Twitch chat, though.
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.

Zergs are used to having only 4 diffrent units with main anti-Air being queen vs Terrran.
Mutas make this MU much better. New maps offer almost free mapcontrol to zergs willing NOT to drone up to 70 before making more than 10 lings. You can deny bases, smash down attacks..but zerg lacks the will to adept.

Honestly if I see Zergs still

1) Trying to defend reapers with Zerglings, instead of going 4-6 Roaches (Ling defense only works against bad terrans)
2) not making a spire, but make queens
3) Morph any amount of banelings vs Archons (U S E L E S S)
4) Never runby, never flank
5) Go "bad supply" (roach Ravager) every game....not having an attack plan..

They do not deserve o cry about getting punished.

Pros can win with zerg, so everything it's fine.

Pros don't use mech, we need complain to blizzard about it.

i think you missunderstood. first off. zerg is way easyer to play and have much more easy way for the victory in the game. remember Life? what he played like? constantly harassing and aktive on map. thats how we terran Have to do in order to win. zerg can sit there and deffend, which is pretty easy.

second. Mech? i cant stand mech. its slow, its bad, its boring.
Im Terran. Yes i will balance whine somethimes. And thats how we terrans survive, Hoping for balance patches<3
