Only, instead of having an AA attack and spawning 2 scourge with each use, the widow maker has no default attack and creates 1 mine with each use of its ability, now named Deploy Mine. When used, the Widow Maker takes 3 seconds to drill a hole in the ground, which it plants a widow mine into. Widow mines are exactly the same as they are in multiplayer, minus the resource cost, supply cost and are now suicidal again (hence the widow maker being used to deploy them). This rewards players for being active for using their widow makers to mine out the map, as they get 1 mine every 40 seconds that can't be stacked up. This could come with a nerf to resource cost of the widow maker, or making the mines less powerful, but it would make the mine a more dynamic unit that is no longer fire + forget... unless you only like 1 use out of your mines. It could also benefit from either Aranae Manufacturing or Drilling Claws, or even both, to make it a great support unit for your army. But won't Drilling Claws be toxic towards the dynamics of the game? Not really. With the widow maker never actually cloaking, the drilling claws just means that its a quicker time from starting to deploy the mine to when the mine is planted. The Widow Maker never actually cloaks. So what do you think of this idea? Wasn't that the orginial idea which inspired Dustin Browder to make the current version of the Widow Mine? | ||

Yeah, there were a lot of ideas floating around about making a mine-spawner instead of a detonating mine back when it was 1 shot insta use. | ||

In any case, how'd you enjoy it? My personal favorite change for protoss is the robo tech: Sentries and colossus are absolutely terrifying. My other favorite is the reduced effectiveness Warp Gate altogether. I'd suggest after researching Warp Gate that you convert two or three Gateways into Warp Gates for shenaniganry and emergency provisions, and macroing off of the rest of them as you would normally. It really is a different dynamic that feels so right! | ||

EDIT: I thought of this change because there is a timer for chronoboosts now, which wasn't there before! | ||

If there is any change blizzard WILL make from OneGoal it is definitely the chrono bar. No excuses. I agree, this kind of stuff should have been in the game a long time ago. I suppose they think it would clutter the screen too much. But even then, make it an option! | ||
