How is this an oversight? They nerfed the strength of chrono to compensate.

nah, i think things are fine.

i'm open to a complete overhaul of all macro-mechanics for all races as DK alluded they MIGHT revisit when they were really mucking around with the economy during the LotV beta.

i'm watching the OJ documentary thing...

i'm imagining David Kim in the white ford bronco with all of Avi-Nation tracking him down in Avi-Nation police vehicles and an Avilo-Copter overhead filiming the action as DK is fleeing....

and for audio Avilo himself is cross-examing DK's balance decisions via cell phone.

its all part of the most important documentary of SC2...

It's really difficult to take you seriously when you use hyperbole like this.

Avolis posts make a lot more sense if you replace "terran" with "me". Maybe we can have an auto-replace hardcoded into TL for him?

Another balance qq thread from Avilo. Chrono is always up, but its a much lesser boost to production. You could easily argue that this is one of the biggest nerfs protoss early game got in WOL, as it delays warpgate a lot. I don't see a problem with it, due to its benefit being countered with a rather massive nerf. Put it back to a 50% build speed buff and Avilo will whine about the speed warp gate comes out at.

@ the people wanting to remove macro mechanics altogether, it could cause some serious problems with regards to scans.. Any kind of banshee/DT/burrow plays would be completely dead because you have tons of scans available. Terran could be even lazier about scouting because there would be no drawback to scanning liberally whenever (even super early) to see what you need to see. Basically scan would have to be completely reworked.

define early game, define the number of probes lotv-toss has over hots-toss, define how this effects the balance of the tvp matchup in your opinion. start here and maybe you can formulate an argument.

Protoss can take an earlier 3rd because of Pylon Overcharge, not Chronoboost.

I did think about this, but i also thought that Blizzard must have tested the shit out of it and they know what they are doing. After the Cyclone and mech debacle i guess anything is possible.

Just remove all macro mechanics. For those who are afraid of scan imba, just increase the energy cost for scan. Done.

I didn't think this was possible. Protoss gets nerfed and terran actually have the nerve to whine about it. I guess it's just an automatic reaction for avilo.

Totally agree! It's also absurd how Protoss is able to keep up in econ against Zerg so easily as well. But more importantly, the old chrono was way more flexible and allowed for some sick timings that just aren't possible with the new implementation. Now, the Protoss macro mechanic has been automated, but the other races haven't!

Avilo, I think your points are legit, but you post this knowing that you're going to get a ton of the usual shit...which sucks!

>> There's only one thing that the new chrono is really good at now, and that's boosting workers. But since it does that constantly from the beginning of the game, that means that Protoss is able to keep up in workers with the other two races (especially important in PvZ) all game long, which ends up accelerating everything else. I believe there was a thread on BNET a month or two ago that did some fancy math to show that it actually ends up doing this better than HOTS chrono.

I actually saw the thread title and knew immediately, Avilo.

Well played, would read again, although it should be in blogs man.

Of course Protoss will always have their 3rd Nexus up before you in PvT because of the way you play, lol.

EDIT : Protoss does not have this fast 3rd Nexus advantage over Zerg really at this point, as well as I am pretty sure they don't vs Terran either. There are plenty of openings and styles as Terran that allow you to have your 3rd before Protoss in many situations, usually going Avilo style Mech is not one of them.

Why dont we calculate it. We take the same timewindow for old and new and compare them. The old chrono was 20s active and used 45s to reload.

New chrono:
15*(20+45)*2/3 = 650

Old chrono:
50*20*2/3= 666.67


That shows that the old chrono was slightly better, which makes sense, because the old one was harder to use. The difference is very small. I suppose, the timing mistakes had a bigger impact.

Avilo as always...whine whine whine but no math dude....make calculations, etc, then go and write up billion words articles about things that based on more numbers than 5 more workers = 500 more minerals...1 mule = 788324792 more minerals, that compensate all terran losses (and they come from building structures, and making of orbital, not because chrono OP)
