| Gnizmo said: Patch 15 is out, and I don't know how I feel about it. Tanks were nerfed which has an interesting set of effects. Early against Protoss defense has become a lot harder for me. Stalkers survive much better. Terran I am looking forward too, but really haven't had a chance to check out. The nerf put Marines and Marauders with proper upgrades into a sweet spot so it takes an extra shot to kill them. I am hoping this means less tank vs tank wars whilst Ravens and Vikings battle it out in the sky. Not to say I didn't enjoy it since most Terrans went straight Viking, and I dominated the air as a result. Thors and poor Hellions got a damage upgrade nerf too sadly. I don't really get why though. Hellions get 10 from pre-ignitor vs light already. Is another 3 really that critical? I might have to run some damage vs health calculations, but I never used them much so I probably don't care enough. Thor nerf just annoys me. Their AA is good against one unit really. Does it matter if they crush Mutalisks just a bit more? Not a big deal one way or the other to be honest. Beta ends soon though, which makes me a sad panda. I don't know if I want a quick crack for on-line play in the interim or not. I mean on the one hand it is more time with Starcraft 2 while waiting for my super awesome (and free cause my brother is so awesome and lazy) collector's edition, but on the other it will mean quicker and more piracy which I just can't stand the thought of. The game is really awesome, and it sounds like Battle.net 2.0 (worst misnomer ever since every game had a new version) issues will be resolved. Not that I care honestly outside of difficulty adding friend. I want to play against more VGChartz people damn it! On that note, you people can hit me up through Steam (name is Gnizmo) if you want to go a few rounds before beta ends. Or we could team up to do 4v4 in a world of awesome! Which ever. |
The Thor & hellion nerf i think was massively needed. Before the patch, a large mech army by terran was virtually unbeatable by an equally skilled zerg & equal to larger size army. The Hellions are still extremely effective vs zerg with the range buff they received few patches ago.
Is there any way to still play it now that beta is done?
