Good changes, still not a big fan of how cheap the dark shrine is, muta buff should make things very interesting. The mech weapons/armour should be kept like that, it makes sense cause they use the same armour but different weapons, sort of, idk.

I'll be the first to say it.
Blizzard, you've screwed us Zergs over vs Terran.
We could take the infestor nerf.
We could take the medivac buff.
But nobody, I repeat, NOBODY will stand for this colour change.

[TADivinity]

The muta buff is the exact sort of scale of what I was expecting to come around last patch alongside such a heavy infestor nerf.

Still not a fan of the double Terran upgrades, even if it is just shields.

Edit: @breadfan: Lol, yes, it is clearly unfair if they have already nerfed that change in less than a week. Think of it as Zerg getting 3/3 corruptor once they have to switch from roaches. You would throw a bitchfit.

Quick Comments

breadfan:

Yeah Terran shouldn't be able to tech switch to a 3/3 composition, that would be unfair... ?????

tempest now deal 80 damage to massive air........ carrier, battlecruiser never will stand chance again

[FSDarkNemesis]

At least some of the Terran upgrades are combined... then we don't really need to keep an eye on too much upgrades. And also less viable DT rushes now which now I find so much better.

Solid patch out of 10

Really like the medivac healing beam color change, it looks pretty badass!
