Patch 15 notes:

Thor unit name changed to Goliath.

[ArcherofAiur]

The reason that they nerfed it was because 200 Roaches was unstoppable.

Golliath ONLİNE !!!!

+ Vortex now removes Force Fields within its area of effect.

I think it would be cool if Vortex could cancel out all spells (psi storm, fungal growth, nuke, etc). That would be a cool trick for saving your units as well as trapping the opponents. If not, that should be another ability at least. Why just force fields, did it look stupid? Not sure why this change was made.

Golliath ONLİNE !!!!

NO! THOR IS HERE!!!111!!!

I'm in trouble.

I actually thought of you and our upcoming 1v1 tournament when I saw this

I think it's really important to read the situation report as it relates to Roaches. The reason that they nerfed it was because 200 Roaches was unstoppable.

The question is just how big of a difference will it mean to the early game? We need to put things into perspective here. You can still build a lot of roaches. You just have to make extra overlords first.

The way things were before you had to have 1400 minerals to make 16 roaches. That's 75*16 roaches + 100*2 overlords. Now it requires 1600 minerals to make 16 roaches. It's not nearly as big of a nerf as some are making it out to be.

Yeah, early game it isn't that big deal, but when you look late game, if you want to make just Roaches(just an example), you army is now 50% smaller... in late game that nerf is pretty huge.

I think the main thing it effects was the 6 roach rush. With the change you can at best hope for 3 roaches.

It's still doable but makes the expo a tad late, and one roach falling behind.

What I like about this is zerglings can be out more in this very time frame, which is by far very small.

In ZvZ, a roach heavy guy will not have much drones or another queen in place, and the longer he sticks to it, the more muta-ling can come against him.

I'm never gonna beat you man.

Ive never seen somebody go for 200 units of the same type. Also, 200 supply of any unit must be hell to anyboyd. WTF with that explanation????? Bring only 50 supply of air units and bye bye your 200 roaches.

Are they going to test 200 units of everything?????

[Univirsul]

Agreed a mass of void rays melts anything and everything way worse than an army of roaches.

Exactly something I lol'd about.

They should have mentioned something more solid than this.
