To Blizzard, if you are having so many players complaining about reapers might as well remove them from the game instead of putting so many new noob regulations. Plus, look at the Terran win rate in all the leagues. Terran Overpowered? You must be kidding me. Source: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/761331Quote Blizzard: Here are a few of the changes we currently have planned: · We're increasing roach range. This will allow roaches to be more effective in large groups, giving the zerg more options in the mid to end game. · Fungal Growth will now prevent Blink, which will give zerg a way to stop endlessly Blinking stalkers which can be very challenging to deal with in large numbers. · The Barracks are going to require a Supply Depot, which will impact a lot of early terran reaper pushes.· The reaper speed upgrade will require the Factory, which is meant to weaken a lot of the early terran reaper attacks that dominate so many matches, especially in team games.
· We're making a number of increases to the health of zerg buildings, which will make the very vulnerable zerg technology structures more resistant to raids. We don’t expect these hit point changes to have a super significant impact on the game, but the current numbers felt way too low.

Well if you have problem differentiating between single player and multiplayer this thread might not be for you. I think those changes will not affect single player campaign mode.

Agreed. Blink cooldown kinda long and hard to be micro-ed well for an average player.
That statement only specify a way for Zerg players to stop "endlessly blinking" stalkers. Sounds like Terran players will never have to deal with this.

Roaches upgrade are definitely most welcome. It'll at least give roaches more usefulness towards the mid-late game. (for me at least, right now the range is so short they might as well be melee)

Yeah, especially since they are normally used as Zerg's early counter vs. Reapers' harass.
I just wished that Blizzard stops all those meaningless effort to nerf Reapers again and again and totally remove them from game to give all parties less headache.

Reaper requires a factory is not necessary, requires a depot rax is kinda joke. I think overall Terran is good enough at current point, i think by just upgrading Zerg is enough, no need to nerf other races. Especially early def against air / zlot pressure / mmm timing push. P/S: imma random player

Ya not much a change, just need to upgrade zerg...need not to nerf other races... just upgrade: - Roach able to speed upgrade at tier 1 - Spore crawler doesn't require evo chamber - since zerg only have queens to def against air during tier 1 - Upgrade health of zerg buildings (already mentioned by blizzard) - Reduce infestors size = =" their size is enormously huge and easily snipe targeted Just my 2 cents

Zerg's buildings health upgrade is reasonable, since they regenerate very slowly after being attacked, no repair mechanism like Terran (except Queen's heal which requires energy), and don't have ultrafast shield regenerating rate like Toss'.
