I dont disagree with why they do this, they want less games being about lategame armies that last for 40 mins and more about games ending in midgame. The problem is that this does nothing for the current problems while adding more. Against Z terran will still go for mass ghost because marauders do nothing against hydra/bane comps, the only difference is that now we have a worst raven, so it will be the same as before, just with less ravens and more ghosts. Against P it will still be 2 base all ins, the only difference being that they will be stronger. Meanwhile ultras will be out of TvZs, terran still wont want to go lategame vs toss, and on top of that mech is being more brushed aside (TvZ it should still be viable but in TvT I can see it dissapear) Hopefully the threat of strong 2 base all-ins will keep Protoss honest and they will prepare for the possibility instead of going double upgrade and storm with few units, knowing they will probably defend anyway. If you are greedy you deserve to be punished by an all-in. The meta should adjust from there. I see a problem if the 2 base all in is unstoppable no matter what. | ||

Well...Once droperlords or even possibility of early droperlord kept Protoss honest in the same way. But guess what XD | ||

Ultras are already terrible in the game, crushed by immortal in ZvP, lurkers in ZvZ, and ghost/liberator/tanks in ZvT, with marauder buff no one will ever build ultras. | ||

Ultras are absolutely not terrible in TvZ and they won't be after this patch. | ||

But wow terrans... seriously? You get multiple buffs and you keep crying? The raven gameplay was just stupid, this change will almost certainly remove the mass AAM spamming. I don't really like the turret buff because terran already has too many harrass units but I guess soemthing was needed to keep the raven useful after the AAM nerf. The Marauder change is actually very massive, it's such a HUGE change versus ultras and versus protoss with armor upgrades - it's basically a +1 damage upgrade per enemy armor in addition to +1 damage per attack upgrade if enemy armor is on the same level. Then we have the viking change.. viking deal serious damage versus mechanical, a 10 hp buff is not negligible, ask any toss or zerg about getting a 10 hp buff to a massable unit and they would be ecstatic. It makes me sad that we will probably see a return of the MMM dominance though and when terrans finally figure out how to use AAM as a support... What about pvz though? Consecutive battles with perfect storms and forcefields or crazy early game damage are the only ways for pvz... Seems like you can't win based off macro as p vs z at all. | ||

How about you base your claims on pro games and not on your personal ladder matches? Ultras are played all the time currently and I'm sure we'll see them regularly even after the patch. | ||
