Patch 1.4 and state of the game ep49.

So here are the updated Patch notes.


PROTOSS
Immortal
Attack range increased from 5 to 6.

Mothership
Acceleration increased from 0.3 to 1.375.
The Mothership’s Cloaking Field no longer cloaks all units instantaneously, but rather adds units to the cloak field over time (maximum of 25 per second). This should alleviate “Mothership Lag” issue when a Mothership comes online.

Stalker
Blink research time increased from 110 to 140.

Warp Prism
Shields increased from 40 to 100.

TERRAN
Barracks
Build time increased from 60 to 65.

Hellion
Infernal Pre-Igniter damage upgrade decreased from 10 to 5.

Raven
Seeker missile movement speed increased from 2.5 to 2.953.

ZERG
Infestor
Fungal Growth damage changed from 36 (+30% armored) to 30 (40 vs Armored).
Infestor’s Neural Parasite can no longer target Massive units. (new)

Overseer
Morph cost decreased from 50/100 to 50/50.
Contaminate energy cost increased from 75 to 125.

Ultralisk
Build time decreased from 70 to 55.

So my thoughts on this patch! As a protoss player myself Ill have to admit im a bit biased but honest :-) !
I love the protoss buffs obv. and dont mind the blink nerf! It never realy was about the timing but more about the ability type of upgrade!

The infestor nerf is pretty much right at the sweet spot. I expected way more whining from our zerg enemies.
But I guess they did know they were a bit to good!

Now lets get to the Terrans. Those Damn Terrans! I love the fact that this patch says that terran was a bit OP! Love the blue flame nerf. the rax build time will help with 2 rax but is an indirect build nerf on all terran builds :D! I dont think that 1/1/1 is solved for us brotoss. But think with the recent changes it will bring out a new metagame from us! lets hope for the best !

FOR AIUR!!

Ok for all the other State of the game fanboys in case you missed it the new episode came out yesterday!

Enjoy!

Starcraft 2 Mods: Zergling Wars

Two separate teams must work to survive longer than other team. An onslaught of zerglings will attack the two teams, spawning one zergling for the enemy for every zergling the other team kills.
Is the short story! But man is this starcraft 2 mod a ton of fun.
Some of this tech is only avaliable after you have bought a previous upgrade. For instance, you cannot tech Twliight Shroud until you have researched Energy Leech. Seems like diffuclt to get the hand off but believe me its not. You will get the hang of it in no time.

Awesome intro from a super cool community member.
