It makes no sense announcing a patch and then releasing it mid season when the season is about to finish, and it says no test server or anything so it goes directly to the live version.

Why not?, you know that adding some lines to the game can be done in one single morning?.
- because it’s blizzard.
That’s not an actual reason, when they did announce some patch and then waited for too long?.
i literally just went over this with sentry. soon is a meme, made by blizzard.
Yes…but the soon meme is related to content they will release in the future and they have no real date, when they announce a patch is because they are ready to put it into the game. Even it was talked that a misterious patch would be released after Katowice.
well i have little faith with blizzard doing anything in a decent time frame. and these changes are extremely lackluster, i don’t even care.
these changes aren’t going to shift meta, make people stop going void ray carrier archon storm… nothing is going to change. this patch is EXTREMELY pointless.
@tskarz I think the wrist issues of terrans come from the last second hot pick ups of medivacs. specially the 1st batch of medivac/s with ur 1st 8-16 marines. because if u lose that 1st momentum ur pretty much dead. thats how fragile terran is

This is typical lame cherry picking data to fit the theory. Picking up 1st and 2nd place doesnt make any sense. You could have taken first 10 , first 5 but the data wouldnt fit your whining…
The Premier tournaments page only lists first and second place. Go complain to the creator of the Premier tournaments page for not listing other places. You are free to do your own analysis of the first 10 places.
Well, that was bad timing, lol.

nothing is really changing that much though. just waaatch lol
This patch isn’t supposed to. It’s supposed to address the strength of voids, proxy play and queen walks. Which is exactly what it does. it could change meta in PvZ, but I doubt it.
Supposedly, it will help PvsZ at the pro level, especially Queen walks. This would make Protoss ground more viable, which means Protoss pros may not have to be forced to start with a Voidray opener. So it may have an impact on the PvsZ meta at the pro level.
I think it was Harstem that mentioned this. And for the Protoss whiners, Harstem was involved in this balance patch and Harstem approves of the nerfs to Protoss in this balance patch.
So in the end,the patch was released in a week,with barely ptr time and basically direct into the live version.

GSL starts Monday, thats why.
and as i stated, i don’t believe these changes are actually that significant that i’m going to cheer up and down that they’re fixing the match ups…
I think the queen change and shield battery change are pretty significant. Outside of those, yeah theyre minor changes, negligible at best.
it did get a balance patch rather recently first in over a year as well.
The shield battery change probably won’t be that significant at the pro level because the Protoss pros can do a lot of different openings. For general ladder though, the shield battery change will make a difference because there are some ladder Protoss that rely on shield battery + void ray rushes to get them a high MMR and a higher league placement. These ladder Protoss do not have the skills of the Protoss pro players, and do not know the plethora of openings the Protoss pros know, so the ladder Protoss will be affected the most.
This is what the balance patch intended (as per Harstem’s comments) and I think it will work well.
