Terran

Reaper change is weird.
Reactor Reapers possible now?

Hellbats not nerfed but juggled slightly. Not sure how this'll affect it.

Medivacs nerfed, don't care about it tbh seeing as theres no new AoE attacks.

SEEKER MISSILE HAS RETURNITH!

Siege tank buff is good.

Protoss

They ****ed up Vortex anyway so I guess that's bye to that.

I didn't like such early detection as it makes some openings just not viable at all.

I like the fact Protoss can't spam Time Warp now but I think it should receive some kind of buff.

Zerg

I wouldn't say Fungal effects Mech much. I guess Marauders aren't as effected now.

Mutalisk ability BUFF?! ;)
 
Reaper no tech addon needed and speed buff?!

So there's going to be loads more reaper rushes from now on. Best perfect getting stalkers out ASAP
 
I have a question..

SC2 competes with DOTA and LoL for players and viewership etc, but what I dont get is that they aren't actually that similar..

SC2 is primarily a 1v1 game whereas Dota and LoL are 5v5 as far as I am aware.

So if I wanted to jump ship from SC2 where am I supposed to jump to?

Hmmmm, that may not be a bad idea. Its probably more fun than late game TvP...

Had a shocker TvP last night, should upload the replay. Basically he did a total fail 4 gate which I held easily, then I spent the rest of the game totally failing to kill him before he eventually overpowered me. I had my 3rd base up and running for about 5 mins before he even started his for example, then after bad engagement after bad engagement (I'm fumbling with ghosts/emps, vikings, MMM and stim and he's pressing 1a) it eventually becomes me on 5 base vs him on 4 and with his instant reinforcements I lose.

He was so bad too, which just makes it all the worse. This is plat division.

I disagree that they aren't similar. They're both strategic and both require micro and have an ever evolving meta game.

Even if you think they aren't similar, they compete because they're the most popular online games that have a competitive scene especially in Asia where it's more popular to be a full time pro than it is in the west.

If you wanted to jump ship to another RTS that's better than sc2? You'd be off to brood war tbh.

You're not allowed to type anything in proleague except for ppp and gg.

He started off his game vs CJ Entus HerO with a glhf and the refs paused the game and busted into his booth as if Stephano had taken a phonecall in there XD
