Terran is getting fucked over in TvP. I dont see how this matchup can be considered balanced when you take away early game options when late game is already very hard for terran. Building Battlecruisers against Protoss will not happen against protoss.

Yep, tempest are crazy good and with the yamato nerf, even voids do quite well.

By early game options do you mean "obviously proxy a barracks"? If so...I'm not sympathetic.

So when will Blizzard release this balance patch? Blizzcon is over so conceivably, Blizzard could release it tomorrow. The earlier they release it, the earlier the imbalance can be worked out so that they can patch the game faster.

I also couldn't find any specifics in the blizzard's SC2 news section, I really hope they push it out today, really stoked on the changes (apart from Yamato nerf).

I've read somewhere they would release it next season......... which is 20 november.
Might happen earlier, I think they've changed season dates in the past, sometimes.

I was hoping that they would speak about this and release it fast, let every viewer know this game is free and fresh you know.

I guess all we can do is wait T_T.

I thought it was gonna be at the end of the season, which would make the most sense, but you say they have sometimes pushed out a big patch before the end?

Or did you mean minor patches? Because this is end of the season patch we are talking about now, what did they do in late 2016/2017?

No, I mean taking away the cyclone as an early threat. I als don't mind if they nerf the proxy meta but there is a reason terrans prefer to end the game early against protoss.

No, they've previously closed of the season before the planned date displayed in-game, e.g. 2015, so it could very well happen again.
I would sure like to know in advance.

Darn, this sucks. Testing ladder is inactive and I'm kinda already switched to the new balance mindset. I really hope they give us the release date soon (and that it's not still two more weeks).

delay is good because creep spread 'nerf' is such a meaningless change that it's have to be nerfed more just to be visible at all, atm on balance map it takes literally few seconds more to spread creep through map compare to live.

also tempest acceleration is so good that it can escape from yamato.

lol seems like Blizzard is going to be slowing down on adjusting SC2 if this single slide is to be taken seriously.

What a shame.

These are just blah-blah words for presentation and press. I doubt there will be another balance patch next year.

Sad they still kept forgotten Zerg's contaminate ability which is for lulz and never used in pro-plays

I didn't really follow the whole "big patch" until now.

But I am surprised: why is there no outrage about toss air? If anything, these changes buff it even further, no? Are people really okay with the Golden Armada?
