These changes are good as long as they do buff toss to compensate which I would hope they do. If they don't then I can agree with you that these changes are bad. | ||

I like alot of Dayvie says this update. Macro changes -I like removing /nerfing things like mules, chrono and messing with injects model -not sure if I like option 1 or 2 yet -dayvie recognise that with all the new units and actions that some other area can give-up a bit of apm, I like that. Disruptor -they are really hearing how bad and risky this unit is for its costs, colossus is more dependable aoe (revert range to 8 already and give toss a real aoe choice) Warpgate -good for PvP (better defensive advantage) but bad for other matchups for aggressive gateway builds, but opens up buffs to gateway units. | ||

It blows my mind a lead designer of one of the biggest video game developers in the world can't understand that the player must be the first priority when designing a game. A game which has no or not many players won't be watched either. | ||

I like the idea of removing, or at least minimalising macro mechanics. I'd rather be spending my APM moving units around than clicking inject over and over again. I'm all for removing the menial tasks in the game and allowing players to concentrate more on strategy. | ||

I think it has to be implied that when a change effects the way the game is played, other changes may need to be made as well. The question is not so much "will protoss still be viable" - because they will obviously keep working at it until ALL the races are viable. The question is "do you want protoss to be balanced around a broken mechanic?". Assuming they continue to balance the game (which is a fair assumption to make), I think the new warpgate is much better. | ||

i'd like to see Blizzard experiment with option 2 of the macromechanics changes and see how they go. i really hope LotV ends up being radically different from HotS namely, a) Cut chrono b) Cut mule c) Spawn larva is autocast by default, but spawn only 2 larva | ||

The game may be harder to play but the people you play against have the same trouble as you do keeping up with all the required actions. i've been saying for a long time i want a "fast & fluid" more C&C style of game. and diminishing macro mechanics goes right down that alley. lots of guys i know who play SC2 AND other RTS games want a more fast&fluid combat-centric experience that feels a lot less like an eco-sim. all the ex-C&C guys who lost their jobs when Victory Games was shut down are probably having a big influence on LotV. | ||

The issue with cutting Chrono is that it isn't just a macro mechanic but also influences research/build times, which might need to be adjusted (it takes 3 HotS minutes for Blink to be researched without Chronoboost). Having HotS campaign hatcheries which spawn 5 larva instead of 3 is pretty cool though. Maybe have it so that lairs and hives produce larva significantly faster? As for disruptor, I guess we'll see. | ||
