I hope this could help to shut down most bio play so games could turn into more strategic mech play. I think by now it should be clear that blizzard doesn't want mech. For years he's now promising to make mech viable, but the few times he actually buffs a mech unit he buffs a mech counter at the same time. I feel like he's just fooling the community because he doesn't want to make mech viable but fears the outrage if he outright says it so he just makes some half-assed changes sometimes to make it appear like he wants to make mech viable. | ||

I feel like we have less and less freedom with this game. | ||

We just had an entire expansion of adept spam so why are we trying to go back there? Oracles are also very close to being too good so removing one of the best counters seems a bit odd considering the cyclone was nerfed into the ground when it comes to anti air capabilities. Keep in mind that the prenerf version still lost you 6 scvs to suicide focus fire. Arguments that a mine can insta kill a unit worth more than its cost seems odd. Units in sc2 are hardly based off their potential to kill other units per cost in isolation. A single templar can rip 30 supply out of the sky given the right circumstances if you want to talk ridiculous numbers on efficiency. | ||

Dream patch is making hydras tier 1 which also indirectly helps the lurker. | ||

I always feel like they are much to easyto avoid, due to the visibilty on the ground textures and the activation animation..... | ||

To mine/liberator change I don't have a strong opinion, but it seems that the liberator change isn't perfect and mine should one shot oracle as long as cyclone isn't a good counter. The hydra change is good. Carrier change is ok, but they will be still broken, just harder to get. That's all you can do with changing the price of interceptors anyway. The price mainly changes how difficult is to get to mass carrier which will be still broken. Higher price -> more risky more turtling, lower price -> less risky and more broken. If they want more fun unit they have to change different things. If you asked what's the price of interceptor that will result in the best game possible? The answer is high enough so noone will make carriers, which is sad. | ||

I'd hope so Edit: I'd love to hear why people are against the fairly modest hydra health buff. Besides mech (which I agree is a concern), I think it's only a marginal improvement vs. bio, protoss writ large, and obviously in ZvZ it makes a difference, but not a dramatic one.

Seems unecessary to nerf Liberators. Let the players figure it out, let the game evolve so we get to see something new. | ||
