I'd rather nydus get changed that overlord drops if I'm honest. Droperlords at least seemed holdable to some degree in recent pro matches. I don't actually remember the last time I saw a nydus fail

Raven nerf seems excessively harsh. They are the only thing keeping terran relevant in late game but let's nerf it

Well I still think the ling drops were the least all-in option compared to ling/bane, ling/ravager or nydus/roach/queen all-ins. All those will still be viable. Would've rather seen the nydus bs removed for example.

I definitely think that Terran should have a late game army that could put up a fight against Zerg and Protoss, but that being said I don't think that massing casters is a way to go. We all know how massing Infestors in WoL looked like, and although I've seen mass Infestors in one of Serral's games(against Trap I think?) at the Katowice, it was mostly for Neural Parasite on big units and not for spamming Fungal Growth and Infested Terrans like they were used for before.

Any late playstyle that revolves around spamming mostly casters and trading energy for minerals should be eradicated in my opinion no matter the race, casters are there to support the rest of your army. Even having like 10 casters can be overwhelming, but it is still fine I guess, as long as you are not having something like 30 of them. I still have nightmares from those games where I've seen 40+ Infestors and nothing else, pure horror...

Yah i agree with late game turtle playstyle being retarded..problem is that protoss and zerg both already have it ..carriers and broodlords both need out of the game if terran has no answer..terran air cant fight zerg or protoss air this is clear with a useless raven.

Terrans have never had an issue fighting carriers and it's dishonest to say otherwise. Terran already has plenty of options to fight carriers straight up.

If you want the anti-armor missile to be used "as intended" you have to give terrans a way to take effective engagements while the debuff is up. I would argue it currently is being used as intended though because the only time you see large amounts of damage come out of AAM is when units are clumped up from move commands. When they're spread out, very little effective damage is done and very few units get hit by the debuff. In that sense the damage serves as a disincentive for the enemy from just always running away, which clumps up their units.

The compensatory buff to the Viking does absolutely nothing though. This should never reach live without appropriate compensation for a massive late game nerf.

I saw it coming, I knew the ravens were not gonna stay, it was really broken.

Also, as a zerg player who recently offraced some protoss, I also saw the ling drop nerf coming. Damn that is really strong when the protoss doesnt have tight build order and good micro and building placement. I had a lot of problems against early ling drop + mass ling flood builds, I always took so much damage.

Overall, 2 really solid changes. I still wonder if mothership reallly needs to be in the game. I know its too cool looking and epic to remove, but balance wise, it doesnt seem fair that only protoss has 1 hero unit. ( 2, with probius) Do they really need an extra recall in the mothership? They already have nexus recalls, which are really clutch...


As for terran late game, the viking buffs is alright.. but...

Battlecruisers!! What are you waiting for? The fix is easy.

The problem with battle cruisers against zerg especially, is that they are DOUBLE hard countered by the corruptors.

I explain.
1) Their armor is armored and massive, meaning they take a LOT of dmg from corruptors.
2) They attack really fast for really little damage, similar to marines. Meaning the corruptors natural high armor of 2 hard counters the BCs attack. Its pretty much like marines shooting at ultralisks.

The fix is obvious, you have to make BCS more like starcraft1 bcs. Attack slower, for high damage. Maybe a tiny bit of cleave damage to 2 close targets? Might be too strong.

Obviously if you buff the BCs, teleport and yamato have to be reworked.

Make the bcs a strong a-move unit. Terran does not have good late game A-move units. Their late game units are all super micro intensive, while the other races late game unit is super a-move.
