Original Title: Finally, I did it!!! I finished the StarCraft campaign without using cheats; I wasn’t at ease until I cleared the entire map. It was really satisfying to watch the final cinematic after so many hard missions.

The quotes are taken from this 1.5 hour balance discussion involving multiple pros

None of these are direct quotations; I just wrote them quickly while listening verbatim.

Energy Overcharge vs. Shield Battery Overcharge

• Geralt:

  • It’s very easy to die to early pushes with Energy Overcharge.
  • Overall, it feels much weaker than Shield Battery Overcharge.
  • The real impact isn’t fully visible yet because current maps are large, but smaller maps might make some proxy builds nearly impossible to defend.

• Maxpax:

  • Against Terran (PvT), it’s probably worse for defending early pushes under 7 minutes.
  • Against Zerg (PvZ), it’s stronger than Shield Battery Overcharge because you can overcharge Oracles.

Ghosts Requiring +1 Supply

• Geralt:

  • I don’t like it. I would rather see a change to EMP, perhaps making it function more like Psionic Storm.

• Maxpax:

  • I don’t think this change will have a major impact in PvT. The Disruptor nerf is far more significant.

• Spirit:

  • In TvZ, I’ll continue playing the same way as before with 15 ghosts. It won’t change much.

Does the Patch Achieve Its Goals?

• Maxpax:

  • PvT is worse now than before, especially in the early game. It’s harder to defend early aggression.
  • You don't open with Oracles in PvT, and if you open with Sentries first, you delay Blink, meaning you can’t effectively use the Energy Overcharge.
  • The Disruptor nerf is massive. There’s no real replacement for it—Storm exists but is weaker and more fragile.

• Geralt:

  • I agree with Maxpax. High Templar are extremely vulnerable to EMP, making them unreliable.

Final Thoughts: Do You Like the Patch?

• Spirit:

  • This patch makes Protoss weaker in the early game, which is unnecessary. In tournaments, Protoss already struggles against Tank pushes. Why make it even harder? We rarely see late-game PvT anymore.

• Geralt:

  • I dislike it. PvT games are going to be very short now.
  • In PvZ, it forces even more Oracle play and severely limits build variety. In PvT it’s already tough to survive with Shield Battery Overcharge; without it, it’ll be extremely easy to die.

• Maxpax:

  • I’m not a fan of this patch. The Disruptor was nerfed because it was frustrating to play against, but they didn’t provide a viable replacement.
  • The Immortal nerf is puzzling. It was already underwhelming against Zerg—10 Immortals couldn’t trade well against 20 Lurkers before the patch

In patch 5.0.12 the size was reduced by 10%, imo now that it is buffed we should revert that change and make the mothership even cooler since abduct is no longer an issue

Was playing with a friend in a friendly PvP match and decided to see if just throwing Marines and Battleships would win

I won but my friend (playing Zerg) told me that Marine spam isn't really viable and that it would never work anywhere else

i am a decent Terran Player but i tend to forget about certain details pretty easily

My friend is a decent Zerg player who isn't so good with key short cuts

So is mass Marine usage actually a decent strategy or did i just get lucky? (most likely just Luck)

Thanks for reading and have a nice day

The zerg also knew where Korhal was as they fought there in BW.
