Looks like the Mothership is damn near useless now.

[DemolitionSquid]

WTF!?

WHY ARE THEY NERFING THE PROTOSS!?

Omfg... I hated Chrono Boost already, now its an even bigger APM sink!

And seriously, nerf the mothership even more?

Before Gifted gets here: there is NO WAY these changes are to get new data.

[imdrunkontea]

as a terran player, i approve of these changes

[Aldrius]

Give the Overseer some spells already!!!

GRRAAHH!!

I think they've kinda overnerfed the Mothership at this point...

[Hav0x]

Banshee

• Cloak: This ability no longer requires Fusion Core to research.

I can already see this becoming a problem.

My poor Mothership... is now an Arbiter. I feel so violated.

I haven't waited 3 goddamn years for SC1 in 3D!

It's now worse than the arbiter since its unique and now even slower.

[Aldrius]

She's not any slower. She just doesn't accelerate as quickly. That just means it takes her a little longer to get her to her maximum speed. This is actually a good change in my opinion.

Though honestly, if they're going to nerf her this heavily they should give her, her original spells back. This is serious overkill.

I can already see this becoming a problem.

How? The Banshee is pretty late-tech. Ghost cloaking comes way sooner.

I still really hate the idea of a massive bonus... guh...

[Gradius]

Chrono Boost: The duration of this ability has decreased from 30 to 20.

I knew it was coming.
