Literally everyone is saying this patch as a whole is a bad idea, from all races/kind of players This is genuinely the one patch that could break the game/split the community, it is so bad in so many ways it's insane We just threw 10 years of experience by the window for nothing Hopefully this is reverted VERY soon | ||

if you can't accept big changes to make sc2 exciting again, just accept game being done | ||

And the changes at first glance, and based on what good players are saying are not balanced. I am excitedly hopping on as we speak but I really don't have high hopes. | ||

Zergs has been getting nerfs after nerfs for years (the Serral nerf effect) Im convinced most of you complainers has never played the game So you didnt happen to watch another ZvZ Final in the weekly tournament last night, right? 2 tournament in a row with the PTR where we have ZvZ Final and that is without Serral/Rogue. Yep, sounds like its you who dont have damn clue. | ||

Compared to PTR 2, queen nerfed, overlord speed nerfed, hatchery nerf, creep nerfed, larva rate nerfed. It's not that insane state you saw bruv. | ||
