Protoss already had to design every build around dealing with drops in WoL without this thing. I am not sure about energy requirement helping P in the mid game since feedback won't be as good. If anything, maybe add 5-10 seconds on the cool down. But I think we need to see the next Code S season and PL round 4 first. | ||

Protoss already had to design every build around dealing with drops in WoL without this thing. Ofc a decent build accounts for all options, I don't see an issue with that. Just like every good T build has to be designed to deal with a 4 gate, a colossus timing or oracles. I'm not opposed to changing things but if blizzard approaches hots patching like they did in WoL, we just end up in the same turtlefests. Every effective build that can punish certain greedy styles gets patched out right at the point where players are starting to adapt, leading to even more greed and stale boring gameplay. I think overall blizzard can be quite happy with how HotS held up the first tournament and I think it compares favorably to WoL in terms of viewer experience. Cheesy builds didn't dominate, players that are considered relatively 'equal' in skill played close series and games felt exciting overall. Random thought: I think if casters were more willing to call out bad play for what it really is, instead of pretending every game is the best series ever played, there would be a whole lot less balance discussions in LR threads and on these forums overall. At times I find it extremely disheartening to see casters hyping bad play, and the result is that balance talk becomes a knee jerk reaction because 'the casters said both players played great!'. | ||

To be fair Apollo and Tod really pointed out that First wasn't playing his best games in the finals, but it seemed like none in the LR thread heard it because everyone was balance whining. | ||

One of the main reasons that medivacs got the boost was just that towards the end WoL, zergs were catching so many drops that it made drop play ineffective. If medivacs didn't get boost, not sure how they would deal with the faster mutas. | ||

ZvP just seems so ridiculously Protoss favoured though. It is just like WOL only Toss is not only favoured in the mid game but also the late game. Still not enough matches to be sure of this but that is my first impression. Yeah that's why Ret beat First and MC, to make it look as ridiculously protoss favoured as possible | ||

So it's probably the way MaNa wanted it to be pronounced when he took the nickname. I don't know what you mean by "Mawna" but in french an "a" (when not combined with another letter) is always pronounced the same, which is the pronounciation as in "Paris". | ||

That isn't entirely true, we have two different "a" sound, "\a\" and "\ɑ\", although not all speakers make the difference and I don't even know why I'm pointing this out anyway \o/ | ||

He's right in that there are sample size issues, and you're taking them in the wrong direction. | ||
