Everything is good, except for the warp gate timing change. I am biased because I play protoss, but 40 seconds? really? I see what they are trying to do, but thats too far.

I have been playing Zerg since beta, and the one thing that would help Zerg the most would be having overseers not require lair tech. This would balance the game completely, for zerg anyways. Other than this, the recent balance changes are fine - except for the 38 to 33 second gateway production time for zealots. Now we are going to see an incredible amount of 2 gate and 2 gate proxy openings from toss - just like in beta. Forget FE as zerg vs toss any longer or prepare to lose the game in the first 4 minutes.

Not bad but I'm irked by some stuff. Did pylon radius really have to be changed? It's not like anyone was saying, "Man, that power radius on pylons is hella imba!"

I'm interested to see how the gateway/warpgate turns out: I'm just as big a PvP hater as anyone else, but I'm also not sure if this will fully solve the problem. We're really just going to see more colossus wars now (or maybe phoenix play).

I lol'd when I saw the bunker change. It wouldn't be a patch without a bunker change.

A little wary of the ghost change, too. I don't think they're underpowered or too expensive, just underused. I don't expect/want that one to get through.

Spore crawler buff makes total sense since Zerg had way too hard of a time against especially Protoss early air (honestly, Cruncher? Quit it. Mega exploitative.).

ghosts should be more like 150 / 100 ..

and why the bunker change?? dont get that...

protoss wins most of all tournaments, now why is that?...
and colossos is to strong.. their range should be 1 shorter

and reapers sux, they should be faster on creep than lings or they should get 1 more range or something..


mothership should be better also, no one uses em.. cheaper or something.. 100 cheaper?

and ultralisks should get 50 more hp or something..

i dunno.. but how many terrans wins tournaments overall? just curious

The updated notes seem quite good to me. One of my major concerns as a Zerg player was proxy gating, but thankfully that's been reverted. I don't really see how +20 seconds will change PvP too much, though, but it could give high level players "wiggle room" to play around with. Really, I think the pylon range decrease is one of the more brilliant changes as it affects, in ways both large and small, any sort of proxy play.

Now I think if Blizz just takes another look at the Spine Crawler, the game would be so close to perfect. For example, I would like to see spines build in 40 seconds (instead of 50) with a root time of 6 seconds. I'd rather deal with slightly scarier ZvZ spine rushes than keep the current build/root times in ZvP and ZvT.

Anyway, I'm very happy with where they're going with this patch.
