Hi guys,i'm just stream watcher not playing at all.But it so strange how no one coment Battlecrusers and broodlords.In my view they are absolute useless right now.It so stupid when some zerg risk to go for BLs and they just got owned from some ground army...and they pretend to be best antiground top tier3 unit in game.And about BCs i see them maby in 1/100 games and when they come just get owned from almost everything.And after years Cariers got some play right now, and all whine about this.In my opinion when u risk and go for tier3 top unit, its absolutly ok to u have some advantage vs u oponent.
Why someone will go for tier3 if him oponent just counter him with tier2 units, its what kill this game for me, we just wana to see tier3 big battle and nukes, no mass marines/maruder (nerf them blizzard, no liberators and buff BC and nukes).
Sorry for my bad english

Many people (myself included) would think that a blind rush to tier 3 with unstoppable units would be a boring game to play and watch. I would not care for it.
With regards to the patch - I'm pretty happy for the liberator nerf, and I'm fine for the moment with none of the other changes they briefly talked about the other day. Hopefully this will help balance out some of the trends that we've been seeing with various race performances.

Thank you for pointing this out

i hope to god the widdow mine nerf goes through

But they don't remove the bonus to splash? Now i don't understand -_- that means the mines only change is 40+25 instead 40+40 splash on shieds?

They're still testing, they might still come around to removing +shields on splash entirely.

yeah i know, just the order in which they decide to do stuff makes no sense to me.

Love the changes, especially how I cant use widow mines to deal with the carriers' interceptors any more. Great job.
|
They already listened to the community and did not go with the single target damage nerf and are instead only nerfing the splash.
<3 Blizz and their fast reaction time these days.

Times are good. The majority of the community was in favor of that, and it went through.
Ofc there will always be salty whiners.

In how many of your TvPs does the Protoss get out carriers? Do you mech or something?

and why would you want mines if they friendly fire your entire army when interceptors go over it x)
your opponent makes 2 disruptors and theyre useless

So widow mines still obliterate Probes.
Cool.
