Why is there suddenly commotion around SC? I recently got an email about some SC cosmetics for Diablo IV, and was kinda surprised they still remember about this IP :D SC3 confirmed? | ||

Lets see what happens I think storm having a slightly longer duration and damage to help deal with Lurkers and Liberators is good, particularly with the new Dark Swarm. If I had to make a single change right now, it would be to reduce the radius back again to what it was. Slightly tuning the numbers down might be fine also. Other than that, though, I hope the balance team can resist the temptation to change too much at once. A lot of the changes honestly haven't had the time to fully be tested or see how they shake out. | ||

My honest guess is: EWC wants to keep sc2 but wants to see active development or something like that and battle aces conveniently failed in time to free up david kim and blizz brought david kim back and that's who is behind this. source? i made it all up. | ||

Are you talking about Patch 4.0.0 when the Mothership Core was removed and Chrono Boost was brought back as a castable spell? Because the only change to Chrono Boost since then was this: Chrono Boost strength reduced from 100% to 50% and duration per cast increased from 10 seconds to 20 seconds. If we're going to undo things that happened during Patch 4.0.0 then I'd happily go back to having the Mothership Core and Photon Overcharge. They were much more fun than Shield Batteries and Energy Recharge! | ||

Not only adepts, but zlot charge costs 100\100, shield battery, stasis, colossus(more anti light), disruptor. As for chrono it doesn't even give better eco than the hots chrono. The forever chrono is better for probes if you train them constantly, but where energy chrono is stronger is for timings, saving up power for certain upgrades, or unit power spikes. A better reason for protoss' economic growth in lotv is the extra supply given pr. Town hall. Nexus 10->15 supply. Hatchery 2->6 supply. Cc 11->15 supply. Not only did nexus get the biggest increase, but it's also the cheaper town hall if you include that Z needs queen and T needs orbital. So protoss gains 5 supply pr. 400 minerals, whereas zerg gains 3 pr. 450 minerals and terran gains 4 supply pr. 550 minerals. I'm also not sure why protoss went from 10->15 and not 10->14. I guess they were scared that new eco would hurt protoss the most, which was at the time the slowest expanding race. 14 supply at the start would make the beginning a lot more awkward too. | ||

tvp sucks blah blah blah but also, TvZ sucks for the zerg at my level. I keep trashing zergs that are better than me with that hellion cyclone shit and then later into tanks. my build order is simple, the standard rax/gas > cc > fact > cc > starport, build hellions non stop, build 2 banshees (more if scout a roach warren, i don't even bother with banshee upgrades, they are just to keep me from dying to early roach) then 2 more fact then 2 more fact and pump out cyclones non stop. if they got a lot of lings, i get blue flame, otherwise, skip it. get armories when i remember, not really important. and these poor zergs keep dying. I'm having a lot of fun with the wins, but i think it's legit unfair and broken at my level. and if i was good enough to harass with my banshees, it'd be even worse on the zergs. | ||

It s a discussion because zerg supply benefits of the fast expand, which help them to increase their supply cap. It has shifted the mid game by almost 1 min and cancel a lot of builds and openers. Today it s obvious that bases gives too many supply, i mean it s obvious that players prefer to build a CC than a depot (way less interessant). | ||

https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24240447/starcraft-ii-5-0-15-hotfix-patch-notes Balance Psionic Storm damage was reduced from 140 to 110 over 6 seconds (23.3 DPS > 18.3 DPS). Broodlord speed reduced from 2.62 to 2.42. Ghost HP increased from 100 to 125. Guessing Terrans are happy with this | ||

This makes storm significantly weaker now and means more Protoss armies will have to rely on the balls... which makes for the worst games to play and watch | ||
