Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

Initial reaction to the terran changes is positive. Seeing less marauder would make me a happy camper. Does the -5 second build time on tanks really change much though?

Seems decent.
Marauders wont be such a pain in the ass and dominate 2v2 as much as they do now.
Nice to see a little nerf on hidras and roach!
Dont quite get the Void Ray change though o_O

Roach armor nerf means that zerglings will now be the main opening in ZvZ, no?
The hydra nerf also makes me believe they're trying to bring back ling/muta in to zvz, nice imo.

I like the Roach and Marauder changes.

Haven't seen many protoss lately, but I wonder if the void ray nerf was really necessary.
