If air and mech upgrades were combined it would ease the transition from mech>air and hopefully give BC's a chance?

I think "hopefully give BCs a chance" an overstatement of the BC's unviability.

it actually makes any transition WAY easier since for example getting air atack upgrades as a Bio Terran is standard in all matchups at some point.
(vs colossi.vs mech in TvT, vs gglords...)

But now instead of basically only Vikings -all factory Units profit.

in wol a Terran playing Bio-tank vs Zerg often upgrades 3/3 Bio and 2/0 mech asap. after this patch he will react to gglords with 2+/0+ upgraded Vikings instead of 0/0

this is more than uge

To tell you the truth, I would like them to do this for some part of protoss as well. Nothing crazy, maybe just armor or something that would allow protoss to transfer between air and ground more naturally. Even if they discounted the air upgrades compared to ground, it would be majestic. They are not worth the same amount of resources.

A speed buff to mutas? Wtf? Is that so they can fly faster into the widow mines??


No one is ever gonna make them when a whole group can disappear in matter of milliseconds to a few invisible mass AoE mass single target damage unit. Even if they wait for the overseer (which makes the speed pointless) they still don't even have the darn range to take on the mines.


They are basically the reason why I haven't been using my beta key at all :/


They kill multitasking and any kind of fast - all over the place - zerg play...


Would like to see them burried in the fires of hell where they come from! :p

Not only would it make the transition easier, it would allow for completely new compositions. For example, on 3 bases you could constantly produce 2 BCs, 1 Banshee, 1 Thor and 6 Hellions/Hellbats at a time. That's nasty 2/2 push especially if you pull SCVs.

BC's are actually a really good unit, it's just the transitioning into it. The unit themselves are good.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Good stuff. Not a fan of the muta/medivac ideas but overall it looks good on paper, hope they can do a good job of implementing these changes.

I keep looking and hoping that Blizzard pulls their heads out of their asses and fixes the game, but they're just too damned committed to their bullshit, gimmicky units.

-I like that they're playing with the Thor/Raven, but why the fuck do they want Bio to be viable for late-game Terran? That shit is not pretty, it's not cute, it takes away all the beautiful things that made BW terran so good. The simplest way I can put it is that even in WoL, mech is fine. The biggest problem facing mech in WoL is bio, nothing else. If bio is viable, mech will never be viable, end of story. Why can't Blizzard understand this simple principle?

-Medivac speed burst... I just... I don't even know where to begin... Fucking horrible idea.

-Tie Reapers to Widow Mines and be done with it. This makes them important all game long in all Terran MUs and allows them to keep on with their harassment stats and not be OP in straight-up fights while being an important part of every Terran game.

I think that's about it for Terran. Stop worrying about bio and start worrying about the Tank for fuck's sake.


-Hydra speed is nice, but it doesn't solve the problems with the unit. They need more range, or lower cost, or both.

-Muta/Ultra changes are nice. Would be happy to see core Zerg units become core again.

-Nerf the shit out of Fungal plz. Give back a useful version of NP, that spell was a LOT more interesting all along.

-Swarm Host, don't care.

At least Blizz seems to have an idea of how to make Zerg more interesting. Let's see if they don't fuck the race in the ass like they did back in WoL beta.

Void Ray - Make VR attack add a stacking -1 armor to the target being attacked instead of it's stupid damage bonus it currently has, then re-balance stats to be decent per-cost at straight-up fighting without the OP charged bullshit. Problem solved.

-Get rid of the Colossus, make the Tempest the new Colossus if you really want, but please, for the love of god, get rid of the Colossus, even if it's just on principle.

-I don't think DT has a problem with viability in late-game outside of cost, but that has been a complaint since day 1. DTs should be 150/100. Problem solved.


Overall, these notes make me sad for the future of the game.

Blizzard builds up these issues like they're hard things. This is all shit we've been complaining about since the beginning of the game. This shit is not new, it's not hard to see, it's fucking obvious.

Worse yet, Blizzard remains willfully ignorant to other glaring issues like the sucky state of the Siege Tank in TvP, Colossus, Force Field and Warp Gate in general, and the general lack of brilliance in MOST of the HotS units.

When pre-orders went up last month, I didn't buy HotS, and this is making me think I made the right choice.

I will pour a beer tonight for the Blizzard of olde. A homie like that deserves better than to have it's name smashed into the ground like we're seeing today.


I like your post for two reasons. 1) You are a zerg player that admits that fungal needs to be nerfed. 2) You observe that NP is a much more interesting spell than fungal and I agree with that assertion. That's one spell I honestly wish I saw more of...



Any "normal" person, Zerg or not, will tell you that Fungal is awfully designed spell, no question about that. And I am all for NP staying in the game, it is the only Infestor's spell that need good positioning and decision when to cast it, unlike Fungal and ITs that are just mindless spamming. But NP needs more love, 7 range is really bad, and you can't really do much. On the other hand, 9 range was OP, so maybe 8 range would be middle ground?

5. Tempest doesn't counter all late tech Zerg. We currently don't like how Zerg can't go Tier 3 units if Tempests are in play.


I don't get what he's trying to say here, does he say it's not a counter to all late tech zerg and he wants it to be just that, or does he not like that zerg can't go air with tempest in play, which I think is not true, but I'm not a game designer.


If you've played beta you would recognize that most zergs are hesitant to go BL or Ultra due to the ease with with Protoss can swap to Tempests and hard-counter both. DK is suggesting that they want to modify the Tempest so it isn't SO good against BOTH Ultralisk AND Broodlord.


hmmm where have I seen this before....?
