I'm already waiting for proxy gateways to become a thing with the current warp-in change No need to wait, i throw them up all the time now when i get lots of gateways. It's easier than controlling 5 warp prisms around  | ||

will explore things to find their own solutions rather than immediately jumping to extreme conclusions. hahahahaha | ||

By far. | ||

The fact that they actually tested it, is kind of sad. Almost as if they have to much time... ohh wait?! | ||

To be honest for warp ins stuff you can use a proxy gate but not the in your face one you'll need for a reduced range overcharge. | ||

It taking 2 seconds instead of 5 seconds is relatively small. You're limited by unit cooldown for HOW MUCH army you can make - but no matter what you make, if it's on the enemy side of the map it'll take about 80% of a marine production cycle longer. No matter if it's 1 production cycle or zealots or 5, delay is the same also they're unable to defend themselves while warping in for literally 15 real seconds. 2 second warp in is more that you can warp under enemies that are dropping and such in your real base, while in WOL/HOTS they'd just kill your half warped in units and continue killing your base now that you can't warp anything else in. With warp in duration halved for nexus and warpgate pylons, you can blap 10 units out of nowhere before anyone can respond | ||

I like the immortal's ability. It softens up the unit's hard counters. | ||

We feel that the consequences of not scouting if the opponent is going for Oracles or a Dark Shrine is just StarCraft II, not a case of Protoss being gimmicky. For example, if I’m going mech and I don’t scout that the opponent is going fast Spire, I could be at a huge disadvantage because my AA isn’t out yet. The same goes for things like proxy cloaked Banshee, Baneling bust, or any strategy any race can do that requires scouting and reacting. Scouting is a critical component of StarCraft II, and we want to increase its importance in Legacy of the Void. Is anyone else really concerned about this? Scouting is already, in my estimation, way too important in SC2, and I'm not sure how they can increase its importance without turning the game into rock-paper-scissors. It's already bad that scouting in SC2 is limited to direct observation - in other words, you need to actually see the tech building to counter it. You can't just scout their base and see that something is missing, and know that your opponent is Up To Something; there are just too many things they could be doing for that to be enough information. What's worse is that if you miss a scout you're almost always punished by immediately losing the game or taking so much damage that the game is effectively lost. The times when people don't scout what's coming and still manage to pull themselves out of it are extremely rare and usually the result of one or more lucky guesses. It's just extremely punishing, especially to new players, but also to pros, and it reduces the watchability of SC2 as an eSport because of the large number of non-games that occur when a scout gets missed. And it's not like scouting is easy - tech and structures can be hidden all over the map, and top level Korean pros regularly fail to scout things still despite trying. I'm not saying failure to scout shouldn't cause disadvantage, but I think losing the game is far too large of one. We wouldn't tolerate it if failure to inject or chrono-boost on time caused an instant loss. Instead, when you fail to execute a macro mechanic you get a small disadvantage and repeated failure builds up into a large and eventually game-losing disadvantage. Why should scouting be any different? | ||

Almost all the posts about this were sarcastic in response to the concept of auto inject. Someone in the feedback chain made a mistake. | ||
