Wow, i dont have the beta, but i didn't know warpgates produced units faster than gateways... I was always wondering why everyone always upgraded every single gateway to warpgates more or less ASAP when not doing strategies specifically involved in proxy pylons etc.

30% seems like a LOT, and definitely discounts the small gas/mineral cost per gateway to do it.



its free

Now that would be imba.



well, if you have seen battle report 4, when he hits the 5 0'clock island Xpansion he sets down a warp prism and all of a sudden 12 zealots pop out of the pylon powa to rape all the scvs. perhaps he was just carrying them in the prism however it looked like they were warped in. Let me find the Vid.



At 1 min and 54 seconds the warp prism sets up and zealots get warped to the base. is that just units that were produced out of the warpgates at the time or was he able to send over some zealots that he had laying around.


the warp in animation and drop animation is the same (or at least very close)

In my experience Warpgates are better than Gateways. One trick I found is to build units from your gateway while you are upgrading warp gate technology. That way you will be most efficient and get best of both worlds.

To be fair, using warpgates efficiently isn't APM intensive, just requires focus (remembering to use them instead of relying on sound alerts).
The above post was made by a noob. Take it as such.

I have like 45 average APM and I use my warpgates efficiently because I trained myself to glance down at the warpgate icon every few seconds. As Day9 would say, learn to use out of game resources instead of in game resources.

Yea, the warpgate icon at bottom right should help you a lot. You can glance at it easily without even thinking. Tells you how many are idle as well so you instantly can calculate what you can build.

What I see a lot of players do is constantly looking at the hotkey of the warpgates, or pressing the W key. Warpgates are the only building where you can see the cooldown timing of multiple hotkeyed buildings. Personally , I just build extra warpgates. Sure, I can't use all my buildings at one time, but instant reinforcement via gateway units right when I'm moving out for a fight, and during one, is probably more important than having the best unit composition.

assuming that you only built stalkers out of warpgates (very generous assumption) you would only need 6 warpgates to get 45 apm.
