SERIOUSLY PEOPLE. This is not balance QQ. The only one of these that I proposed a specific balance change for was the OL. The others I simply said they need to make a change to make the game more dynamic. I didn't say nerf X or nerf Y, I said make other options viable. That requires a change to the game itself, not a nerf to X unit.

Hey Zai, can you reply to this comment?

What's your opinion on making Hydra's more useful? Are they fine now? Or should they get a boost in some area?

[ZaiSC2K]

@WNxMercy Hydras are a niche unit. They allow you to counter air easily and can be used in some powerful timing attacks, but late game they become obsolete due to cost and squishiness. I think if they keep speed in HoTS it will make them far more viable in late game in some compositions, which is good.

Alright. I'll be the pedantic douche canoe. In what time zone is Zai when he says it's Thursday morning and yet his clock says it's 8:47 on Wednesday evening? Is it Australia, Japan or Korea?

[ZaiSC2K]

@magreggins I knew the video would be released Thursday... forgot the time was as the bottom of my screen :-)

[ZaiSC2K]

@lilaznb0y33 I didn't say Deathball or Marines were OP. I said they were boring. Watch the damn video please. The only issue I had with balance was Zerg scouting.

hard counter to marine = colosus and ht but easy to counter :D

lololol The date on his PC is set to 1-4-2012 and it was uploaded on 5 jan 2012 xD

funny joke, 15 marine walks into a bar and ask

"where's the counter?"

[NjC121]

infestors and collosi are mid to late game. I have a feeling Zai was talking about a counter to Marines during the formative first 10m or so, where MMM is pretty much to only choice. Unfortunately, I don't think morphing Hellions are going to change that. The Zerg spell that nullifies the range of attacks is a good idea, but again I think it will come too late to influence the game before both sides have a third base and lots of tech and resources.

no counter for marines? infestor(+banes)(+ultras), collossus, ht...

IM AUSTRALIAN AND I WANT MY TIME ZONE!

@ZaiSC2K thanks! :D

So... Did you ever find Tupac?

[Shinas1996]

but i guess blizzard didn't want capital ships to be like a "get this unit faster than your opponent and you win" sort of thing. It's like Titans in Age of Mythology if you've ever played that game.

Just an FYI. Russia has 11 time zones. Yep, 11... :D
