Oh ****, Blizz actually made some balance changes.

PROTOSS

Oracle
Movement speed increased from 3.375 to 4.
Acceleration increased from 2 to 3.
Units that burrow or cloak while under the effects of Revelation will once again be revealed after unburrowing or uncloaking.

TERRAN

Armory
Vehicle and Ship Weapon upgrades have been combined.

Siege Tank
Siege Mode attack period decreased from 3.0 to 2.8.

Widow Mine
Sentinel Missiles now deal reduced damage to units caught within its splash radius based on their distance from the target:
40 damage within 1.25 radius.
20 damage from 1.25 to 1.5.
10 damage from 1.5 to 1.75.

ZERG

Roach Warren
The Tunneling Claws upgrade now increases burrowed Roach movement speed from 1.41 to 2.



Loving the widow mine change, Innovation's TvZ might actually drop below 80% now that one widow mine can't one-shot 20 banelings.

No idea what your level is, but I'm down if you want. Or anyone else too.

finally got demoted to platinum

Scrub

Phew, only placed into Gold. Don't yet have to suffer being in the same league as Needle.

rip patch terran?

good news for me if i ever get back to laddering, i was sooo bad at widow mines =/

yeah i only ever built widow mines early game vs zerg

this patch is gonna be good for me, love me some tanks! also preparing for a ****ing oracle in my base in every single goddamn TvP

Oh man I can't wait for Terrans to start replacing mines with other factory units that can't shoot at mutas

Where's our Thor speed buff?

good point; tank splash should definitely hit air too.

mines seem like still only good vs mutas if you get them in the money clump. they kill like 4 banes max now?

The rustling on ladder has already started

trade vs a terran going bio+tank?

MAEK 40 MUTAS

My strategy of just building turrets non-stop while getting the armor/range upgrades on my ebay will actually be more viable?

this season just got off to a wonderful start with my router ****ting out in the middle of my placement match

and i was so sure that i was gonna get in plat

so depressing playing sc2 after watching a tournament and just sucking balls

I don't think that winning/losing placement matches really matters at all.

Also, very curious if you guys hate Alterzim as much as I do (for those of you that didn't take my advice and veto before even playing it).

god damn, I'm 0 for 5 on the night

Aww yiss, **** on a gold Terran who went mech with roach/swarm host/muta. I was opening ling-bane ldo so when I saw he was going mech I had a solid bank and just made all my lings into banes. His first moveout got crushed super hard (banes were like lol hellbats) and after that I contained him on 3 bases forever.

For lategame, what's my ideal composition? He was pretty thor-heavy so I guess swarm host is good vs that? If he had more tanks I'd have been a little worried, since I guess the core of an anti-mech army for Z is roaches and they're kinda dog**** once the mech army gets 3/3.

Next game, gold Terran goes marine tank, gets stomped in every engagement because I have the watchtowers + creep and see him coming a mile away and my banelings are on top of him before he even sieges and zero splits took place that day.

ZERG'S BACK BABY (or my opponents just don't know what they're doing)

If my wrist starts feeling better, I might see if I can make a run at masters in a month.

Sure I haven't played in eight months but I did play the game for two years. Like riding a bicycle right?

Just get better at the game, won't have to veto any map. Right?

Why in the world are they buffing Protoss?

lolol epic misclick to end the game I just played



25 minutes in and he never even tried to take a 4th?

hahahaha terran goes for the hardest hatch block of all time. First SCV barely makes it before hatch goes down, I have to pull another drone, obv he starts the ebay, I attack the SCV to make it go away, start working it down with my drones as I put down a pool. Then he brings TWO SCVS to a.) repair the first SCV b.) keep working on ebay to make it take longer to kill.

Oh and he went CC first behind this.

ZvZ is a miserable matchup for miserable people

Says I have to play one game for ranked placement. Does that mean it's using my old mmr? If so, I'm going to get destroyed for like fifty straight games if I try to play ranked.
