The Protoss change is honestly terrible, but will probably scrape by due to the immense discussion about macro mechanics.

do you know how ridiculous of a statement that is? protoss isnt gonna make an offensive gateway next to a pylon just so they can do a 5 minute gateway timing, also you have to pray that your opponents misses a huge ass structure on the map

unless you're saying that we can pressure zerg or terran by warping in at our main, in which case youre wrong

The evolution of the 2 gate.... that sounds interesting :D Hits later but reenforces faster.

The community seems really torn on the idea of removing macro mechanics. There are two sides with strong arguments.

I"ll help you out a bit here, they are obviously going to buff to compensate even if it isn't immediate. 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.

When are these going live ? I want to play this version of LOTV !

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.

yeah it's understandably annoying when something you practiced long and hard to perfect gets removed from the game and you need to rework your game... but that's inevitable in heavy balance patching and especially an expansion

As long as DK has the attitude "We want to entertain the viewers, the player experience doesn't matter" LotV is doomed to fail.
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.

I think what excites the viewers is strongly correlated to what excites the players.

I've been very skeptical of the way things were going, but I'm loving these changes. I think the warpgate change is awesome, and is an elegant solution to keep warpgates as an exciting part of the game, but cut to enhance their strengths and weaknesses, and give defenders an opportunity to stop protoss all ins (by killing the warp prism).

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.

They should probably not remove the macro mechanics, but diminish the effects (especially of mules and injects).

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 agree that if DK had that attitude then LotV would be doomed to fail.
but I disagree that DK has that attitude.

thanks to DK for another informative community update.

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

Seems like another case of Blizzard trying to add something that nobody was asking for, who the hell came up with this idea that they need to remove macro mechanics? 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.

Really like the WG change.

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.
