What do you guys think of this patch?
Overall I think it's pretty ok considering myself as a protoss player. Psi storm will still be pretty useful despite the nerf just like terran's emp.
And a good boost for the cannons ;)

Nice, Thors are actually really good late game air defense now, might bother too build a couple sometimes. I like the boost to defensive structures too.

Not sure why Broodlords and roaches got hit though, maybe to make Ultras better in comparison?

The psi storm nerf is enigmatic.

If the goal is to encourage other strategies other than M&M for terran and mass roach/hydra for zerg, it seems odd that they would nerf a strong counter to both of those.

Well templars are pretty easy to mass so. but i agree with you too

grrrrrrr.... templar got nerfed again...  :'( :'( was my favorite unit in starcraft1.. now it seems that a collussus is better... than 3 templars...

Pls nerf Protos more.I mean - make colossus take dmg from minerals field. Reduce zealot hp and shield. Reduce sentry skill.
