Nerfed: Siege tank, Battlecruiser, Ultralisk, reaper and zealot

Hey guys, check out the blog about the balance changes coming in September. Pretty much, every class is nerfed, but by far Terrans are being nerfed the most.

Terrans:
Siege tanks are losing a 1/3 of all their DPS while in siege mode vs non-armored units.
Bunkers have increased build time by 5 seconds
Reapers have increased build time by 5 seconds
Battlecruisers are losing 1/5 of their ground-to-air dps

Protoss
Zealots build time being increased by 5 seconds

Zerg
Ultralisk damage vs armored is going down by 5 points, but damage vs buildings is going up because they will now AOE buildings and units around them instead of doing single-target damage (this change to help zerg fight the Planetary fortresses when it's being repaired, I bet)


A lot of the cute stuff terrans do early game, like building bunkers in the natural expansion and putting a reaper in it to harrass a fast-expand zerg is going to be tougher. The big change though is the siege tank. Zerglings with the advanced carapace will not die to a siege tank even if it's a direct hit. They will survive long enough to run in and get at point-blank range, at which point, the tank can't hit them.
