But I also think Blizzard has some type of irrational minimialistic approach where they try to get the most done with the fewest amount of changes. On the other hand, I don't think the amount of changes is relevant at all. What matters for the learning curve is how difficult it is to play the game and not get majorly screwed. For instance the strenght of the Nydus all-in adds a ton extra to the learning curve. | ||

I'm not even sure if the game has that many stats. I mean, I get where you're coming from, but look at that list. It's still quite massive. | ||

Well if you redesign one unit that alone is typically 10-15 variables you will change.And that will typically require changes to a couple of other units for balance and interaction-purposes. So one proper redeisng = 50 stat changes (general rule). The issue is that Blizzard just throws down a new unit/ability without adjusting the rest of the game so that proper roles and microinteractions are implemented. You can also just look Riots changelist in their redesign. One champion redesign is alone like 50-60 changes. | ||

This would answer the question. k let me be more clear. i threw a grenade at a hatchery and it did damage. does that mean it does damage to structureS? | ||

Warp Prism Warping in units takes 2 seconds, down from 5. It was changed to 4 seconds for warp prisms and fast pylons. | ||

And yeah, like a few others have mentioned, should remove the 2s warpin line from Warp Prism. It already correctly says 5s further down in the warp gate section. Thanks for the synthesized notes! | ||

One minor correction - you rightly point out that inject now spawn 3 rather than 4 larva, but your explanation about queuing then mentions 4 larva. | ||

Warp gate warps work in 5 seconds except if it meets some weird condition. Liberator is a flying valkyrie/siege tank that can hit hard on a certain spot, but just not buildings (because.. no real reason, it just cant be balanced). Weird invulnerability modes on Battlecruiser and Nydus. Ravager gets Rapid Regeneration, just not while burrowed. It's like idea's get thrown into the game that actually don't work, but are put in anyway. | ||
