Please use this thread to discuss the balance update patch notes posted here.
These are planned to go live today on 5/14/2018.
Glad to see the jump back brute’s minefield has been fixed as that proved tiresome when chasing them down. Though concerned on how much the changed to Arbiter will affect his play style.
I can only imagine how much sleep have you guys lost reworking jump brute mines from the ground up like that! Good work fellas. Excellent patch. Also I’m super hype for the blitz changes and the future ones as well! gg
So, so, so happy to see the end of the CM Brutes.
Changes look good, but I have a few concnerns.
- Scorpion changes are welcomed, but don’t fix the main issue with Scorpions; they lose to almost everything. Scorpions will now be more rewarding when they reach a base, but I fear they will never get the chance to reach the base
- Cyclops change is also welcome, but again, fear it won’t be enough. UNSC draws most of its strength from Nightingale healing. Against Banished, Reavers annihilate Nightingales and Cyclops do not kill the Reavers quick enough to keep the Nightingales safe - Grizzly cost reduction is very good; could probably lower it even more - I’m really curious to see where Arby is now. These changes will certainly bring him more in line, though, we will have to wait and see where exactly he is. If these changes/nerfs hit him too hard, he may need to be buffed in other areas, to compensate - Also, it’s amazing to start seeing come changes made to Blitz. I wish there were more, but I’m happy just to see good changes. Can’t wait for more improvements to Blitz and still waiting to see those win rates 
- EDIT: JR’s are still too weak. All in all, looks good to me!
really good looking patch guys, been praying for scorpions to have more than a sheet of paper for armour for awhile now

The goal is to have a good chunk of Blitz changes in the next major patch.
It was left by the wayside in the past, but Postums and I want to make sure it sees some attention soon to get it into a better place. I know there has been a lot of discussions around changes people would like to see and we have compiled quite the list we are looking at doing, but you should definitely hop into some of the discussions if you have feedback.

this really highlights a big retention issue, new players aren’t going to stick around when being unknowingly matched up vs the best players. As far as patch feedback goes, I need to do more testing but rabbits still feel underwhelming, the beam fix is noticeable and appreciated though.
@ Postums Hi
What doe the armour type change mean for goliaths health as in what is the percentage nerf.

Calling out others is against forum rules. Also slightly ironic that a smurf is calling out smurfs.

It’s not a health nerf, just their resistance to certain damage types.
Don’t have access to the game right now, do Jump Brutes stun again now that you fixed the glitch? I didn’t see any mention of it in the notes.

There is no health nerf. They just now will take more damage from units that do more damage to their armor type and less damage from units that do less damage to their armor type.

Stun will not be returning. CMJB are already very strong. No need to make them stronger again.

my bad misread it got some hayfever shenanigans today
Maybe some buffs to Arbiters hero now that his COR has been properly nerfed?
