 ), but maybe the Baneling nerf will be enough to compensate.+2 Banes no longer one-shotting Probes is long overdue. No idea how the new Cyclones will work out | ||

I sort of dislike the entire map pool changing at once, but then again we get map pool changes so rarely that it's justified. I wish we swapped out half the maps every few months instead. | ||

I've been talking about this hypothetical set of cyclone changes for years now 125 / 50... 2 supply... reactorable... lock-on overkill! oh yes, this is super fucking spicy. cyclones are legit core units now | ||

Test Mod TODO: Make this not affect Broodlings from building deaths Will they make the Broodlings from Brood Lords essentially a different unit from the Broodlings of buildings? Might as well change the name of one of them to make this difference more clear. Maybe Spawnlings are the lings spawning from buildings while Broodlings are lings from Brood Lords. | ||

Protoss is screwed though lol. Can't believe they are nerfing the disruptor massively again without buffing any of their other forms of splash. | ||

Hydras having 2 upgrades was kinda stupid though given their niche use, so I like the change. If it's too strong they can always increase the research time or make it 200/200 | ||

It's dumb to give even a slight buff to the viper and in general feels like Zerg got the most attention but the baneling nerf is so massive that I think TvZ will still be fine even with the big snipe nerf. Protoss is screwed though lol. Can't believe they are nerfing the disruptor massively again without buffing any of their other forms of splash. HTs are indirectly buffed quite significantly due to the EMP nerf | ||

On the plus side, hellbats might be a viable soft counter to banelings now. Banelings will always four shot hellbats (whereas you needed armor upgrades for the hellbats before) and Hellbats will pretty much always two shot banelings with the health nerf. Pre-split hellbats will always be cost effective against banelings, and will still be cost effective against Zerglings even when split (unlike Marines). | ||
