Nice feedback from the players. I hope Blizz will take them into account. I like miniguns thoughts about overcharge casting range and MSC vision range. Sounds a pretty good idea imo. And of course, the hydra buff has to be a joke.

Do the balance numbers reflect this need for a buff to AA? Terran Mech is still relatively new as is SH Turtle style. So, it's not like the numbers are being weighted by these styles (at least not yet). Code S has near equal representation of Z and P. Overall win rates are still quite good. I don't know what they are precisely, but last I heard they were well within acceptable range.
I am hearing this need for better AA a lot but is it for aesthetic reasons or for balance? Is there a valid reason at all?

woah half gas cost. Who the fuck decided this might be a good idea for a race that is designed around spamming units >_>? This seems like its addressing a problem that was present at the beginning of WoL where people decided roaches were more cost efficient due to gas costs and decided to flat out not make any hydras anymore.
Can someone calculate the cost efficiency between a hydra and a marine :D?

Maybe consider developing all future maps to the same extent as the main and natural of habitation station?
- Blinks are risky because the main/nat ramp is not easily timewarped and it is very limited space you can blink into the main - The natural ramp is relatively smaller and provides better defence for all races in all matchups. Making expansions a much more viable option but at the same time. - The smaller airspace makes oracles and terran drops as well as mutas less scary as well.
I think airspace and rush-distances can vary, but to me it is quite clear that the natural should have a permanent 2-by-3-by-1 grid ramp like habitation station as well as an uneasy accessable ramp, like some kind of obstacle or height-level must block in order to prevent abusive forcefields and timewarps as well as runbys.
Other than that, habitation station is a quite awful map because of the design of the gold base and the various abuses that lies there.

Ha! Hey, I like the Hydra and a better Hydra sounds good to me. But, I get the feeling that where this buff is concerned there is a danger of repetition, "Zerg need something!" becoming fact. I just want to know if the balance numbers and performance at the highest level of play actually reflect the need for a strong buff to Zerg for balance reasons. So far, I don't think I see it.

Ah, thanks. I haven't seen the SH Turtle style much (maybe I haven't seen enough games) although - admittedly - a lot more recently. So, it's to stop Z being backed into a corner by p/T? If so, that's a fair reason. And a better Hydra would be good.

The current "better hydra" will just lead to some sick timing push, but it won't be much of use in macro TvZ mech. Buffing a bit its resistance or something is much better than make it twice cheaper. I agree with others here, zerg need a much better AA, but SH should be nerfed, because an unit that spawn 2 free hydra every 30s is kinda ridiculous.

Let me just say that I like what they're trying to accomplish with changing the Hydra. Currently there's no place for Hydras, early game they're ruled out by Roaches. In anti-air they're often ruled out by Queens and in lategame they're ruled out by Swarm Hosts. Having many counter units they only fulfill a niche. I feel this is the wrong approach trying to take some of that power back and I think instead they should try and find a new role for the Hydralisk giving it something unique.

Well he is a zealot after all. ;D ;D ;D
But yea tbh you've got to be delusional not to realize the flaws that this game's had since its inception. I mean it's great that Blizzard are still trying to fix things, but still...
Then again looking at this suggested batch of chances it makes you wonder if they have any idea what the problems are, since this would break more than it would fix for sure.

Hydralisks: 6 range, shoots up. Locust: 2 range (where did the other 4 range go then?!), does not shoot up(wtf?)
All that is equal would be its dps. But did you know that 6 siege tanks can hold off locusts indefinitely without ever taking damage? And did you know that a colossus or 6 can do the same? Also, once you get a mothership , your locusts cant do damage anymore. Last but not least, having 2 instead of 6 range and not shooting up means their effective DPS is not anywhere near a hydralisks. Look at zerglings vs marines for example, 3/3 cracklings have more dps than 3/3 stimmed marines, yet the marines have much more effective DPS since they have 5 range.
Now please stop being so anti-zerg bias, with your ridiculous statements.

I think it's hilarious that even David Kim & co. have figured this out before some people on here. xD

Don't know about the Hydra, seems extreme, but might as least bring the game forward and away from SH Inf Corr.
Terran changes... I don't know, not really significant might just lead to certain terran timings and all ins. Who wants to see that?
Want to fix terran. Buff the tank, maybe the unsieged tank. Make tanks viable vs protoss, make Terran late game viable against protoss.

I wonder what would happen to that mass voidray style vs zerg if guardian shield just didn't affect air units anymore. (It doesn't affect high ground units when the sentry is on low ground but it does affect air units - so it would even be more consistent). With that change there might be no need for a hydra buff at all anymore - and it would almost exclusively affect pvz , so wouldn't risk screwing up zvt or zvz.
|
TLO and minigun the most sensible opinions.
Ghost buff should be done in an other way if at all, improving timings is a bit stupid and doesn't help lategame issues at all.
Hydra buff is way too big, just give them +5 or +10 hp, possibly attached to the range upgrade to prevent timings from being too strong. +1 armor is possible too but less optimal as it would do practically nothing in ZvZ while being very strong against voidrays and marines. Slightly more hp or slightly faster attack would just be a good nudge in every matchup. I do agree with blizzard they could use a small nudge just to make ZvZ better and potentially make the roach/hydra style viable in ZvT while slightly buffing Z in ZvP (it moves ZvP away from SH a bit more which is better I think, SH could hopefully be reworked later on to be really different and not the boring whittle away unit they are now)
Minigun's opinion on MSC nerf is great, this does practically nothing for bringing back terran timings but hurts expanding in PvP the most. The msc is a hard design to fix because it's role is neccesary for PvP expanding but makes TvP terrible. Reducing the casting range and vision seem like better idea's to fix all-ins and the ease the MSC effectively defends two bases while still making it good enough to defend expansions. Another possibility is a small delay to the cannon or range reduction so terran can actually poke and get out without losing all their marines. At the same time oracle should be changed to armored instead of light I think. This matters nothing for PvZ. In PvT vikings become slightly better against them and thors slightly worse, overall slightly better for terran as vikings are easier to get early on. In PvP it makes stalkers much better at defending against oracles, you could basically defend mineral lines with 2 instead of 3 which is critical for making expanding somewhat reliable if the MSC get's nerfed.
