Wingless Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Interesting patch notes this time around. Facebook integration = bad. Map publishing, league tweaks and 4v4/3v3 games = good Having reason to research Terran infantry tech = good I kind of like the Ultralisk tweak. Lower health, but higher damage vs armored targets and buildings. No more 300 marine wipeouts at 3/3/3 tech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
