Keeps getting better for Zerg players. W00t!

Quote:

The balance changes in our next patch will primarily focus on improving the zerg.

Here are a few of the changes we currently have planned:

â€¢ We're increasing roach range. This will allow roaches to be more effective in large groups, giving the zerg more options in the mid to end game.

â€¢ Fungal Growth will now prevent Blink, which will give zerg a way to stop endlessly Blinking stalkers which can be very challenging to deal with in large numbers.

â€¢ The Barracks are going to require a Supply Depot, which will impact a lot of early terran reaper pushes.

â€¢ The reaper speed upgrade will require the Factory, which is meant to weaken a lot of the early terran reaper attacks that dominate so many matches, especially in team games.

â€¢ We're making a number of increases to the health of zerg buildings, which will make the very vulnerable zerg technology structures more resistant to raids. We don't expect these hit point changes to have a super significant impact on the game, but the current numbers felt way too low.

Void Rays nerfed! Pretty satisfactory from my perspective :P

ehh. they're stronger before the charge. Which is fine with me. I'm more happy about the terran nerfs than anything. Roach buff also sounds pretty fair.

Yea it's once they're charged that's the problem. Same with the speed. They get in your base, start charging on your buildings and you're fucked 'cause once you get there they rip your army apart. I think now it'll be easier to stop them before they get into your base.

I also like the terran nerfs. Less reaper harrass and medivac drop harass. Definitely going to help.

As for the roach buff I'm pretty psyched. I already love roaches and now they've got more range. Totally baller.

One thing that i really dont like though is putting Thor's abilities on timers rather than energy bars. Seems kinda pointless to make them extra strong against hightemplar. Even that though doesnt bother me much as i rarely ever see terrans go mech against toss.

Yea Corruption is on a timer now as well. I haven't really ever used it to be honest so yeah. I've still got a lot to learn before I start to master the more expensive units.

thank god aobut vr's im a toss player myself but I fucking hate ppl just doing fast VR tech i think its pretty 1 dimensional and ruins games, cause in a 3v3 if u can holdout a fully loaded VR force is pretty unstoppable lol
