I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.


STARCRAFT II - Balance Update
--- Melee Balance ---


Quote from Blizzard
You might have been part of helping us test the new balance changes coming to StarCraft II, and these most recent adjustments will be coming to the game very soon. What’s different is that, for the first time ever, they won’t be applied as part of a patch.

On May 10, after a brief maintenance period in each region, the following balance changes will take effect globally:

Quote
Protoss
  • Observer build time decreased from 40 to 30 seconds

Zerg
  • Overlord movement speed increased from 0.4687 to 0.586
  • Queen anti-ground weapon attack range increased from 3 to 5

Again, to be clear, these changes will take effect after a short maintenance in each region is complete, and neither a patch nor any other special action will be required to experience them in-game.

Thank you for your feedback, and see you on the ladder.

Update:
In addition to that, the queen's ground attack animation is now her anti-air attack launching a projectile. This means that Queens can potentially overkill an enemy unit and be stopped by Raven's point defense drone.
Her ground attack remains upgradeable via Zerg Missile Attack Upgrade.
Source.
Update:
Queen launches 2 spines as ground attack.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.

Oh_Man -- true
