I'm also amazed how people just jump the gun sooo fast. Let's just wait and see what happens, I'm very happy that they're extensively testing and doing something about the matchup and even just the issues with the warpgate mechanic in general. | ||

Which is indeed a problem Blizz mentioned in the situation report for patch 1.3 (They want to see how P does without KA first). The issue with 4gate PvP is thus. 1. If my opponent is 4gating me, I need 4 gates to win. 2. If my opponent doesn't 4gate, and I build 4gates, not only CAN I 4gate, I *have* to, because my build is so inefficient otherwise. So PvP was ALWAYS 4gate on 4gate. At the Pro Level, Terrans and Zerg aren't complaining about straight 4gates, though fake expo into 4gate is tricky for Zerg. You're wrong. I can't be bothered to explain more but you could take a look at mrbitter's latest pvp session with socke (who basically summed up how pvp worked), or just play enough to get to a decent level with protoss. | ||

It beat zergs that hatch fist in close spots and terrans that got greedy / didn't wall off. It was strong yes, but not even close to op. I would rather have this. | ||

I would be happy to see this change. It opens the door up to a lot of 1-Gate and 2-Gate builds. For anyone used to the Protoss from Brood War, this will be a good amount of nostalgia. | ||

I hope they do this nerf/buff switcharoonie right and it works out great for everyone in the end | ||

Only good thing would be all same but limit warping to a certain distance of the nexus. You use WARP PRISM to warp far. You could get a TC upgrade for far warp pylon. Oh man I'm already theocrating sorry. "We will address 4gate in the next patch", really ? Again removing a strategy from the game ? ZvZ is zergling/baneling. And you try to tech to roaches without dying. If that succeeds. Roach vs Roach wars. Then you try tech to anything flying or infestors without dying. | ||

Production wise the only difference between 3 warpgates and 4 gateways is that warpgates warps in then gets a cooldown while gateways will have to produce the unit first. The end result is the same. Theoreticly you could say that the toss will be a round of warpins behind so up to 3 units will be delayed by 30 seconds, but I dont see how it could be any worse then that. TBH, It just depends how long it takes to research from now. My only gripe is that it kills 3gate aggression against Terran/Zerg, you generally proxy a pylon as you move out and reinforce that way, now you might be far too vulnerable when moving out. The timings now might be too late to bust down a greedy Terrans ramp too. You need that burst of units Might make 1gate expanding harder too. I don't think I'll worry too much about it until I see how much they changed it by, complaining about something I don't know yet seems kinda dumb. This could make Protoss potentially much harder to play. Having to decide your unit composition ahead of time and restructuring build orders. Chronoboost is going to be a much bigger factor with this change. The decision on how to use it would border on difficulty of how Zerg decides to drone or make attacking units. I was thinking that at first, but I think it comes down to how long they increase it by. If they increase it by 30seconds then it won't be too bad at all. It might just mean we will have to throw more chronos on it for non 4gate builds. But if it is something absurd like 1-2min increase then there probably will be some big problems, I think we might see the inceptions of some early all-in aimed to take out the cybernetics core and just delay that warpgate tech as long as possible, who knows. | ||

My point really being is that while builds may have to be changed slightly the production capacity and economy of Protoss early game will remain unchanged if only warp gate research time is increased. | ||
