on of the most if not the best part of starcraft is in my mind the unitscaling into the lategame even t1 units have their uses but it is worth teching

I really hope they will see the widow mine nerf is very bad.
We already have liberator nerf that's way enough !!!

Protoss already kill back terran even before Liberator nerf so that's not useful to nerf mines now

Cool.


Yes but at least there is more potential for a counter push IF you lose some workers or IF they go for this type of opening.

nice compromise with the Widow Mine. It also makes the Tank more and more the ground based splash damage unit against big armies.

I wonder when terrans are gonna realize that they need to get their bio nerfed before they can get decent factory/stargate units

I think people severily underestimate the impact of the liberator nerf. It heavily reduces their efficiency against gateway units.
I don't think the widow mine nerf will be needed.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I'm pretty sure it would have been fine at 80 damage, now at 75 theyre terrible, especially if WM lose the bonus to splash

obviously theyre still amazing to harass and later on with upgrades

Oracle and Raven still desperately need a redesign, Oracle to do less damage but scale better outside of mass Oracle cheese and Raven's are just cancerous to play against, PDD being shorter but more powerful totally negates anything outside of a Viper pull and auto turrets are literally enough to drive me away from this game, I've already dealt with a different metagame shift that gravitated towards the mass Raven cloud and it makes SC2 go from an 8 or 9/10 game to a 2/10.

Redesign the Raven to provide utility and survivability to Terran end game, and give the Oracle something along these lines..

Oracle

- Remove bonus damage to light and increase range on Pulsar Beam by 1 or 2 so it does not instantly melt workers but at the same time can find sweet spots in static air defense like a Banshee

- Remove Revelation and give the Oracle innate detection

- Nerf the radius, time spent frozen, and mana cost of Stasis, so it functions more like Spider Mines being a spammable map control element

Raven

- Remove Auto Turret from the game along with Seeker Missile and replace them with good non damage for spell points abilities that let's Terran have more utility units outside of the Medivac



The rest of the changes are fine, Hydralisks are still not as beefy as they need to be and Widow Mines shouldn't be deleting Chargelot compositions just by existing.

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.


it is intended to cause as little impact as posible in the game to address specific issues. If it is not enough, they tweak it further

It seems like blizzards fix to the black screen at the start is to force V-Sync on for everyone now, regardless of if they choose to enable it?

Cool man a test map that almost no-one is gonna play.

Hydra hp buff won't help much vs Carriers anyway, will just make it stronger vs Protoss ground and in timing attacks.

Intercepter cost change will not make a difference either, carriers were always this strong, but just hard to get to without dying.

Make the interceptors 5 minerals again for all I care, but decrease their damage or increase carrier supply.

Hopefully the lib change will at least help Protoss, and we will see in a few weeks if the mine change is still needed or not

And when the change on both single target + splash was revealed some people basically said : "it is intended to cause as much impact as possible in the game to address specific issues. If its too much, they tweak it back a bit..."
Works both ways :p

Then again i wasn't questionning the change rather than the way they changed their mind on the last few feedbacks.

Love the changes, especially how I cant use widow mines to deal with the carriers' interceptors any more. Great job.

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


I do as the latest big balanced patch promoted me to do as stated by David Kim. Play mech terran.
Is that not viable?

If you're at the point in the late game where you can afford like 5/6 carriers, is a 5 mineral nerf to interceptor cost really that big a deal? Seems like just a slap on the wrist.

oracle is cancer but since they only listen what majority says, it won't be changed.

Because changing your mind is a bad thing? They realized their idea wasn't good enough so they changed it to a better idea. And it was based off popular opinion. That's a good thing man!
