Lurkers affected by Blinding Cloud will now only fire to melee range. I request that for Hellions and Hellbats, too. | ||

Would be awesome if it hits on the 19th so players can do some regular laddering before HSC 20 If you are serious about tournament preparation I think you should rather do custom games. I honestly don't think it matters at all... | ||

1. If a Battlecruiser uses Shift to queue several commands which includes Tactical Jump, it is immune to Abduct or Interference Matrix as if it was using TJ in that time, even the current order is moving across the whole map. 2. Mothership’s Time Warp still does not decrease beam-type weapon’s attack speed, including Void Ray, Oracle, Sentry and enemy Mothership. They attack at exactly same speed inside the Time warp bubble though it displays an attack speed debuff.. | ||

Infested terran was a beautifully designed ability that led to many exciting moments. It was just a little overtuned on the recent patch. Disappointed they go for the nuke option. | ||

Void Ray New upgrade found on the Fleet Beacon: Flux Vanes Increases the Void Ray’s movement speed from 3.5 to 4.65. Increases the Void Ray’s acceleration from 2.8 to 3.76. I know balance patches aren't for team games, but this will make team games even less enjoyable. Games will be full of noobs who mass void rays and run away with super fast void rays. Also, "team games don't matter" is bad attitude because most people play casual StarCraft (custom games and team games), so if you demotivate these people, there will be even less people playing. So I thought the goal wasn't to have less players than games of competitors.  Even for 1vs1, this change doesn't make much sense. Most protoss players at high level rarely make void rays, especially after fleet beacon. And when it's that late in game, it's likely they'll use recall to escape instead. It will be unlikely such people would have mass void ray army, but instead they'll also have tempests and carriers which can't fly away as fast as this void ray upgrade. Totally useless idea both for 1vs1 and team games if you ask me. | ||

Well the spells effect is that you only attack at melee range, so it's consistent. And making exceptions based on "lore" is making it harder to balance | ||

It was just a little overtuned on the recent patch. Disappointed they go for the nuke option. I respectfully disagree. It is extra supply for the race having a super easy time making units and has the best eco. Won't be missed the slightest. Zerg will be completely fine. There is a myriad of 3-4-5 base timings they can do still. Even the nydus is still strong, just not opressive. Good Zergs will always know when to drone and when to make units, split their armies to defend everything and set up flanks. The other races will just hopefully have a fair chance in the lategame. I am looking forward to seeing how this works out in a couple of months. | ||
