Do you feel that the patches are coming too often or not enough or just right? The last 2 patches have significantly changed the game, the zealot build time, the roach range, the reaper upgrade modification. Do you feel that there has not been enough time in between patches to let the effects sink in? Or do you feel that there simply has been too many other units that need rebalancing? Let your voice be heard, Blizzard has shown in the past to listen to its players, hopefully that will mean that the Chat Channels are coming in the "next" patch.
In my opinion, it's not so much the frequency of the patches, it's the amount and the magnitude of the changes they make. I would much prefer twice the patches with half the changes, simply because each time a patch comes out, those sweeping changes makes it a whole new game.
I think the frequency of the patches are just right. Right now I'm seeing alot more Zerg players. Which is good because I hardly played against Zerg since the release of StarCraft 2. With the increased range, Roaches seem to dominate almost every Zerg game. Right now scouting for the Zerg's expansion is ever so vital. If the player doesn't take down the expansion soon, mass Roaches with tunneling claws and burrow can overwhelm any force easily. Hopefully the next patch will include chat channels maybe before year end =) ?
Yeah, I think many players are starting to use zerg if not the zerg is using zerg better because of the roach improvement. It might be awhile, but I am sure people will find newer strategies.
