StarCraft 2 has a long tradition of updating the balance patch after the End of the World Series. No, 2022 IEM has just ended, and the StarCraft 2 5.09 patch is coming! This patch is not simple, it has been waiting for players for more than 1 year! Because of Microsoft's acquisition, the old starcraft 2 tree is in the spring, and then the waves are rising, and now is definitely the perfect time to enter the pit of "StarCraft 2"!
This time, the patch was modified for the "battery", "hidden knife" and "void" of the God Clan, the "Queen" and "Tunnel Worm" of the Bug Clan, and the "Widow Ray" of the Terran Race. In terms of game balance, this 5.09 patch undoubtedly weakens the God Clan. The weakening of "battery", "hidden knife" and "void" is undoubtedly to encourage players and players to take the initiative to attack, do not be the "dung pit stream" grandmaster; the insect tribe, the restriction on the "queen" blood, undoubtedly cut off the possibility of the insect tribe using the "climbing queen" tactic, BUFF "pit worm", which is obviously to encourage players and players to use multi-line wormhole tactics; the human side has not changed much this time, although it has extended the start time of "widow thunder", but it is harmless, after all, the current mainstream human race rarely uses mines. Through the analysis of the changes of the three families, the designer team seems to prefer players and players to operate and pull rather than the extreme "wave of streams" to defeat each other.
So the question is, this patch of the three clans have weakened, which race is more suitable for newcomers to get started? Here we recommend that all newcomers choose terrans. As far as the three clans are concerned, the bug clan is a very test of basic skills. Although the Insect Clan has tactics such as "4M30S Cockroach", "12D", "Nine Yang Divine Gong" and so on, these tactics require expansion, egg injection, fungal blankets, pulling, and bag clamps as the basic skills, each of which is a great test for the player; although the Divine Clan has strong individual combat ability, the cost is the most expensive, and it also needs to consider how to match auxiliary troops, after all, the shield is both the "strength" of the God Clan and their "weakness"; although the human race looks relatively mediocre in all aspects, the feel is the smoothest. ScV repairs ensure the stability of your front, the machine guns can defeat all enemies after reaching a certain number, and the "Barracks Heavy Factory Airfield" construction sequence ensures both technology and troop quality. In addition, Terran tactics do not eat much of a class. Like the classic Terran "tank + machine gun + transport machine" tactic, you can eat the "golden fleet" on the top, and you can eat the "dog poison explosion" on the bottom, as long as you practice diligently, it can help you achieve a leap from 0 points to 6000 points!
Of course, there is no strongest race among the three races of StarCraft 2, only the strongest players, and I believe that this balance patch can bring new changes to the ladder environment. Nowadays, the Interstellar 2 game is reopened, the game is updated, everything is developing in a good direction, and I have to say that now is a good time to enter the pit!
