Multiplayer balance suggestion

StarCraft II General
1

Well guys, I think not a single person who loves, watches and/or plays this game regularly wants this patch to stay here forever. There are some changes that have to be done so the game stays fresh and attractive to both new and veteran players. I suggest the following ones:

1.- Increase energy requiered for battery overcharge from 50 to 100.
With this change Protoss will have to scout and anticipate any kind of dangerous moveouts from the opponent instead of just triggering the ability whenever and wherever they please.

2.- Decrease starting shield battery energy to have only half of its full capacity after being built.
Spamming static defense just for the sake of it is not the right way to go in an RTS game that doesn’t want players relying too much on it. So if they want to this it will cost more time and resources to get to its full power.

3.- Increase feedback range by 1 and decrease storm range by 1.
With this high templar can have a little easier time with vipers, ravens, ghosts and infestors, while preventing that storms just destroy everything within the same feedback range.

4.- Increase void ray time production by a little bit and decrease its base speed by not too much.
This will make them more vulnerable to queens while they try to kill a hatch, as well as making easier for terrans to defend proxy void ray allins.

5.- Decrease adaptive talons burrow speed for a little bit.
That will make easier to siege up or retreat when lurkers run and burrow too aggresively.

Then it would be nice to make glaves a little bit better so stargate stops being the no-brainer opener in zvp, but I am not sure in what form they could be buff.

I would love that the people that have taken all this time to read the post put also their own balance ideas (and of course why they came with that change). Maybe if more of us come here and communicate our ideas the people at Blizzard that are still working and caring for sc2 will feel inspired about our love and passion for the game and decide to drop by more regularly.

Don’t forget to have fun in the ladder and wishing you all the best luck in your games,
A big StarCraft fan.

hmm I’ve always thought lurkers need a skill like blink

  1. SB is fine. Retreat or power through. Without SBOC P would be lost against many many early pushes.

  2. See above. SBs are not for free, yk?

  3. Systematically not that bad an idea actually. I would just increase the feedback range though, storm range suuuux already enough

  4. You realize the prod. time for Voidrays is incredibly well finetuned? Make it longer so zerg can just freely scout ur base in early when u go Stargate? Proxy void ray allins were a thing until the defenders figured it out. It’s just like any other cheese now, sometimes i t works, most times it doesnt.

  5. Wut? Blink? xD

Please use ur grey matter and adapt, if your strategies against a certain strategy or build doesnt work. It’s you, not the game.
