Yeah. I believe he spent a few weeks in the ogs house at one point. I think this might be his 3rd or 4th time in Korea.

They buffed the queen and overlord even though Zerg was even or slightly favored in the months during and before that, which I guess is you're right Blizzard man, Blizzard.
Nice to see them finally address the Raven, although I wish they would've done the whole overbuff them to force people to use them and nerf them later a la Infestors and Warp Prisms.

Warp prisms were never nerfed they were only buffed once. But I agree with what youre saying. I think a +1 range buff on seeker missile would be in order. (Or make hi sec auto tracking up the range on it by 1.)

Who gives a shit about a stat like (7 out of the past 8 months) should we bring up stats from open season 1 as well ?
Zerg looked pretty even in April and March.
Edit: I was surprised to know that it was actually in May tbh, felt like it was in mid June or something.

There's no excuse for Terrans not building Ravens, regardless of it being slow. It's so easy to destroy creep quickly before Mutas arrive
wait, you play protoss.
ravens are so fucking good too, pdd completly wrecks protoss anti air.
So, to get the same level of creep spread as they currently do now, the zerg will have to push more tumors overall, correct? Won't this make a terran have to burn more scans to clean it all up? The raven change will help a little bit with this I guess.

For reference raven is now faster than infestors and same speed as medivacs now.

Building one Raven would save what, 4-6 stupid scans a game if not more? It really makes no sense. I guess chalk it up as Terrans not wanting to build anything that isn't OP
More tumors, but same area. Terrans won't have to travel as far between tumors, but there will be more in an area so it might balance itself out.
why spend money on ravens when you can GET MORE MARINES!

Scans are used to figure out army positioning unless you want your entire army to die because your shit wasn't segied, ravens won't help in that.
Also, "terrans need to build more ravens" is high up there on the list of stuff that sounds too powerful but they're actually not, "just build more nydus worms" when zerg was dying to 2 base protoss.

I think I remember some caster relaying the opinion from players that they wanted to use the scans instead of the raven simply because it let them see ahead of them and how far they could stretch ahead, whereas the raven could not, especially as it was slow.
Edit: or basically what Thunder just said.

I'm ok with this zerg nerf because it affects toss allin's.
this raven buff doesn't do shit for PvT
So overall I'm ok with this.
Maybe if blizz helps PvP out we might be in for something amazing. Allow us to use nexus energy as a shield battery or some shit.
enjoy being more op, i guess.

I'm more concerned about spine crawler rushes
Dunno, there is a fps and GPU counter in the upper left corner, the text is pretty small
Edit: press Cntrl+Alt+F to get the new fps and GPU counter!

Terrans always have like 4+ scans ready since their macro is horrible. Queue it up like the all Terran
fps count has always been there. GPU temperature sounds new though
I would say fix infestors in TvZ well before creep, but honestly most terrans are stubborn against getting ghosts for no good reason and we just saw Gumiho dominate with them. Taeja just splits MMM like a boss against them too. Terrans are figuring this shit out on their own.
Well controlled ravens have made for some pretty goddamn one-sided maxed-out fights in TvZ as well, so a buff to help terran clear creep might just be a buff to help them blow up the zerg army without the zerg being able to do shit about it.
I honestly think Blizz just needs to leave the game alone. People can and do figure this out on their own.

I think its cooldowns in general because creep icon looks kinda like that too. Didnt checked out other stuff yet though.
got matched with 3 diamond zergs in a row 
1st I totally owned
2nd did a bane all in that I would of held but I got cocky and didn't bite the bullet with the extra cannons. his attack was mad late so I thought my gates would be done in time. FUCK I'm a little salty about that game.
3rd one totally owned me :\

I agree buffing Ravens too much could just lead to late game (maybe even mid game) TvZ problems. Overall this strikes me as one of the biggest problems with Blizzard's approach to the game. If people aren't using a unit they clearly should be using, that is NOT an issue of balance: it's an issue of laziness and stupidity. Same with the Warp Prism. Sure it was a bit slow and very easy to kill, but Hero and White-Ra were showing how useful it could be long before the buff. But there aren't any inventive Terrans out there playing around with Ravens consistently. I saw a Terran use on last GSL, can't remember who, but it was pretty damn good.
Flash was doing some impressive creep killing early in proleague, and I definitely think adding a Raven to that style would make sense; especially against greedy zergs.
The Terran reaction to the Ghost nerf told me everything I need to know about them. All of a sudden no one was using them, no one was experimenting, no nothing. Meanwhile Guhimo just kicked some ass with a bunch of Ghosts.
Hell, Hellions. MVP and a few others have started using them again to great effect. Contrary to the assumed Terran logic, ranged Queens still can struggle against massive Hellion harass.

buff carries so they become stron and standard
They did a hidden buff I read in 1.5
Plus it seems more people are starting to use carriers now. Just not in mass numbers but mixed in with Voidrays.
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Excellent. This is something Ravens should've been 2 years ago.
If you are saying this since the game is balanced now I agree.
If you are saying this since blizz don't know how to balance I say you are totally wrong (watch latest winrate).
