"We heard your feedback about the potential enemy spawn location display being too short right now,"

Does it seriously take people this long to commit something to memory?

If the Zealot Charge damage only effects 1 unit, it'll probably be ok. If it's an AoE, it's gonna be too strong I think.

Fun reason to get a fast charge upgrade either way. Just don't like the simplicity of it. Promotes A-move.

It would actually be cool if this 30 damage applied to your own units as well. I charge my zealots to my stalkers when I'm running away, this would make me have to control them better or damage my stalkers considerably.

Think twice about your proposition and what happens when you have 20+ chargelots.

My stalkers get 20 hits on them unless I cancel the charge. Which is exactly what I'm envisioning?

Can't wait for this patch!!! Love the idea of Macro Booster Removal, and the Disruptor finally sounds like it is fixed and will remain in the game. All the fun of the original Disruptor, and the similar playstyle to the reaver, without the downsides the reaver had.

Sounds like a great patch, I'm glad Blizzard is brave enough to make such major changes to improve the game.

Now I can finally stop playing Heroes and get back into SC2! :D

So... why don't Blizzard just take back the Reaver, they took Spider, err, ehmm, Widow Mines back, and same goes for the Cyclone, the 2nd ugly bastard cousing of the Goliath.

Not sure if you remember playing with the Reaver, but the pathing could be really horrible, causing you to lose the scarab with no damage. It was slow as a snail. And the only micro possibilities was with a shuttle.

I personally much prefer the idea of having a controllable "scarab".

Now they only need to give Boost to overlords so the same can be done with banelings too. Balance

I profoundly dislike the removal of macro mechanics. It waters down the game too much.

While we will not know until we actually test out the patch (this is a BETA after all), I don't think it will feel that way in-game since the micro requirements have increased greatly.

If servers are down now, then maybe we get the patch in 4 hours? Someone said there is a 4 hour downtime....

So disruptor is now basically a reaver with a controllable scarab? That sounds interesting...

I feel like Zerg gets a massive nerf against Protoss with this patch. As they will need to expand sooner to keep up with the reduced larvae spawns, but Protoss always threatens the FFE into cannon rush making Zerg pool first. Now it seems like they wont have the larvae to roach counter an overly greedy Protoss player, and can possibly have difficulties holding off just standard aggression (which will come marginally slower due to missing chronoboost).

Zerg is able to open with hatch > pool > hatch / ling speed 1 queen currently and hold off any aggression, and be economically doing well. At the moment the 3rd hatch can even be a macro hatch, and economically Zerg is fine. There are ups and downs to this method and the conventional method, they are very minor differences when you break it down. Chrono on probes is gone. ... Meaning if he takes a nexus 1st, there is no 2x chrono 10 probes surge ahead of where he should be. It's a big difference. Zerg probably got buffed with this patch economically, compared to Protoss... taking a 3rd is what they want to do and early aggression from toss is weaker in every way.
