If Mech becomes the go to composition i'll probably start playing again

Practicing hours and hours and hours of splitting 100 fucking units in a second to counter the 1 APM action that is pressing the "T" Key is fucking bullshit

Yeah getting a ghost to emp (bigger range than ht) would of course be out of the question... wannabe pro.

Go look at any Taeja or Innovation game, you almost never see EMP's so flawless that no storms go off, it's just not that complicated to keep 4-5 HT's separated

you have to actually dodge storms pretty damn good in order to ever win lategame tvp

playing proper mech actually requires more micro but less multitasking than bio

Code

Widow mine splash radius decreased from 1.75 to 1.1

We'd like to push out the Widow Mine a little bit and bump up the Siege Tank so that bio play becomes more interesting. Ultimately, we believe a mix of Widow Mines and Siege Tanks with your bio army will be a lot more fun to watch than just Widow Mines with bio alone.

Siege tank attack period decreased from 3 to 2.7

Bio play may be more interesting with the Widow Mine change and this buff. Not only that, we believe Terran mech armies can be a lot more viable because faster attack speed naturally means Siege Tanks will be better against their hard counters.

Wow.

Roach speed and DT buff seems pretty interesting as well.

they are buffing DT movespeed?

are they on fucking drugs? DTs do not make the game better, not from a spectator's perspective, nor from a player's perspective.

DT = microless, skilless unit that is and always will be a bronze-league gimmick

WM and siege tank changes are nice, but the siege tank change doesn't go far enough.

Worked in broodwar, should be fine in sc2.
