Of all the things to help PvT, a stim research time decrease? Really?

DId they enjoyed the era when PvT was only 2 base tank/scv pull all ins that much?

Balance aside that is an awful change from a design perspective because it will make the MU an awful shit show.

I can't understand: The balance team reduced the robot price to 150 mineral from 200, now the warp prism price was increased to 250 from 200. So why not return the robot price but increase prism price?

This is incorrect.
Revenue was UP and proift was DOWN. ATVI did not generate "record profits" ... the dividend they pay investors was lower. When this happens it is common for a company to lower expenses.

Blizzard has been losing many millions of active users over the past 2 years.

Honestly this is pretty bad -
BC Mech vs Z is already very strong - as Maru displayed at WCG - now you are going to have better EMP vs infestors and 45% less damage on the main tool Z uses to fight BCs? How is this a viable option?

Understand the intent to make ZvP late game more even - but until we see Zerg dealing with BC mech evenly with the current infestors and ghosts - how can we think its a good idea to literally take half the DPS away from infested terrans which are the main tool to counter BCs while also buffing ghosts?



Maru crushing Reynor says literally nothing about the ZvT matchup. If those games weren't such one sided stomps the only thing it would show is how broken Zerg is. Reynor does just fine against EU terrans (aka the players on his skill level). Dark has been doing just fine against that style from Maru on ladder. The huge majority of Terrans including other pros struggle with Z in lategame. Pro zergs like solar have admitted the infestor broodlord comp is currently unbeatable in a direct fight for Terran. Something this drastic was definitely needed.



Also just on a side note, investors still have alot of vercitility to them along side spores, corruptors, and vipers.

I'm not to worried for zerg to be honest it just might make terran late game viable not broken.

This is quite bad. TvZ late game looks relatively balanced if not slightly imbalanced for T with BC mech (Maru @WCG). Reducing the counter unit (ITs) damage by 50 percent while also buffing the unit that counters it (ghost) is a horrendous idea. The BC needs a nerf to it if these are going through or its going to broken for sure. I dont understand how super obvious things like this ever make it into patches (stalker buff etc) you only need a very limited experience playing or watching to know how stupid this is.

Pros get to comment on proposed balance changes and they don’t share your concerns.

Also, Maru is just better than Reynor at late game. Serral wiped the floor with Special’s BC battlemech and swept him 4-0 just like Maru swept Reynor.

Serral was asked about those WCG games and his response was Reynor sucks at late game.

If we saw Maru beat Serral 4-0 with BCs, then maybe we should be concerned about their power.

When was the last time Blizzard released anything that wasn't a remaster or a WoW/Hearthstone expansion? Maybe they should try doing that.

Why are they still adjusting the unit stats of the game? How many times were the stats of SC BW changed? What is the factor of difference?

SC BW became balanced the moment Blizzard abandoned it.

BW was far from balanced the moment Blizzard abandoned it.

There is a reason 4 out of the 5 bonjwas are terran, and the only non-terran one was implicated in match fixing scandal

When it was realized that Terran was broken and Protoss was trash, they started heavy focus on map design to try and balance things out.

SC2 balance > BW balance imo. Balance by map design is a failure imo

The emp buff could be good for Terran but the stim buff will move PvT into an even more allinish direction.

I'm fine with the changes as they are rather small. It's a good start to see where this is going for top tier players. I've never been a big fan of too drastic changes. I still doubt the infested terran nerf will fix PvZ lategame, but we'll see.

Medevac timing is still the same, fyi.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.
