I think Blizzard should organise a weekly tournament every time they make balance changes. Only for pro gamers so they can show imbalances. Pro gamers earn money, while Blizzard get their balance patches tested properly. The problem with this is it often takes time to figure out the state of balance after changes are made. Maybe things will look balanced for a few weeks then someone finds a truly abusive timing and then everything goes to hell. Maybe things will look like nothing has changed until someone finds a build or a strategy to blow things wide open. People like to shit on the idea of the need to let the meta settle, but it is sometimes really needs to before we can say whether things are broken or fixed. | ||

Surprisingly even Dreamcatcher which was criticized seems really fun to play. | ||

Patch 3.8.0 [4] The "Research Charge" upgrade will now increase the Zealot's movement speed from 3.15 to 4.13. [hide] Patch 3.14.0 [5] Charge upgrade cost lowered from 200/200 to 100/100. Source: Zealot There. I dare someone to try arguing with me. | ||

Why this was important: The movement speed increase let Protoss players keep their zealots in front of their army without much micro, preventing any flank the enemy might try to set up. The upgrade cost decrease makes charge all-ins come much quicker and provides an inexpensive harass option. IMO these changes weren't the ones the game was looking for. | ||

Patch 3.11.0 Balance Update [3] Splash damage +shield bonus reduced from +40 to +25 [hide] Patch 4.0.0 [4] Widow Mines are now revealed while Sentinel Missile is on cooldown. [hide] Patch 4.1.1 Balance Update[5] Build time reduced from 28.6 to 21.4 seconds. Discharged widow mines that unburrow and re-burrow should be invisible again without anymore cooldown. This minor change is 100% sensible and would enable Terran to use widow mines fairly. | ||

As long as the Marauder can mostly still counter Ultras, rather than just slightly counter Ultras, like in early LotV, then I don't find it too problematic that Marines return to hitting them with peashooters. I wouldn't go so far as to state that I'm not in favor of the Marauder being reverted to single-shot (for one, it just looks way better and easier to follow), but I think that this will necessitate some other things shifting to compensate. | ||

Lord of the Flies aside hopefully the Raven can find a nice spot. Really like Interference Matrix in small scale fights, especially in TvT and TvP, although I'm not sure a +1 range buff to the turret will be enough to bring the opening back to prominence in TvZ. | ||

Raven missile nerf is also a good thing design-wise. The viking health buff is very underwhelming but going in the right direction. Now the issue is that mech is now generally meh to decent in TvZ, plain bad in TvT, and completely terrible in TvP. Wish they'd acknowledge that the raven redesign was a failure, and that the cyclone is still badly designed. | ||

You haven't understood, you need ultras with 14 armor to go back to the previous state of marauders vs ultras interaction. That tells you how dead ultras are right now. | ||

I'm glad that the meta isn't anymore Zerg sitting in their base doing nothing but turtling to ultras with terran being forced to allin every game. If the game turns out to be imbalanced they better should buff midgame units like Mutas or Banelings. | ||
