Damnit Blizzard I hate you, ruin the game.

One of the smaller but useful things I've noticed in the ptr: You dont need to go click on view profile to check a persons league, it shows the league next to the persons name on the score screen.

But the main multiplayer screen looks a little messy now, and it feels like redundant info.

I like the sound of this

not sure i like the immortal buff. i hope it doesnt make it past the ptr

TcaTX · Sun, 28th-Aug-2011, 7:58 AM

Not really that bad... I mean it will help a little... but if you insist on building immortals vs zerg.. as my poor foe found out... I just add a heap hydralisks to my roaches =P And clean shop with ling hydra afterwards!

Im not happy about BFH nerf.

SuperHero · Wed, 31st-Aug-2011, 4:06 PM

I wonder if they will implement anything in this patch that addresses the very powerful 1/1/1 banshee tank timing attack that is incredibly popular in TvP nowadays.

ill admit i have tried it out against several protoss players and have easily won regardless of what build they went. 4gate, 3gate robo, stargate etc etc etc.

many people say its just a powerful timing attack that the counter for hasnt been found yet but i dont know about that, it is incredibly difficult to stop. im sure the korean protoss experts (oGsMC comes to mind) will figure something out.

They know the problem : http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php...hlight=Insight but they are apparently waiting to see if there is no evolution in the metagame before acting.

Concerning balance, they seem to think the game is generally balanced but I think they want to tweak "intra-race balance". I mean so player begin to use more of that unit than another one that have been a bit "abused".

To do that they have to be sure each time they give a buff to a unit of a race they nerf another one.

For example, when they want more usage of Warp prism they nerf Blink research so

mobility isn't buffed too much.

[Troll On]With the exception of

that are just plain nerfed as usual

[Troll off]

More seriously I have the feeling that the new maps introduced in season 3 are more favorable to Terrans (as I heard

s and

whine about it) and the infestor nerf are in fact the Terran indirect buff.

I'm very interested in the new Missile speed. I have always found that that spell is fun to play and would like to use it more often without putting me behind because of my whim.

I think you used that to take out a few of my banshees and vikings that day when we played 1v1. I fear the I see a T just mass spams seeker missiles XD

And then I lost with a bigger army.

I should have made PDD to keep air dominance instead, but Missiles are so fun, I prefer them.

I hope we dont get 1 less vision up ramps it will hurt scouting at the start of the game.
specially on 4 player maps sometimes you just cant get your overlord into position in time to find out what they are doing.

even thou ultra build time is been reduced they still dont do well vs tanks mmm to really make them better then broodlords.

Updated PTR notes: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1213111662

- Infestor’s Neural Parasite can no longer target Massive units.

O_o.. I don't even play zerg, I hate the matchup, but that seems a little too harsh. It's the main use for the spell, anyway.

What the f*** is with Blizzard seriously... Haven't they f***ed this game up enough already?

What are we gonna neural parasite now? Immortals ? So Colossi can walk 2 pixels over and 2shot the infestors ?

*insert heavenly music playing here*

Sorry about my manner, I am just so happy. I can make colossus again in PvZ! I will be crushed if this doesn't go through. Keep them coming Blizzard!
