Good to see PvP still splits everyone into love/hate. This expansion looks like it just reversed everyones opinions on it

I'd say it's a massive improvement over the usual Tempests vs Tempests we saw in HOTS. There were only a handful of PvP games that I thought were entertaining, and they've mostly been documented on TL in the best games to watch categories.

I don't remember Tempest vs Tempest being that usual, but the HotS PvP meta did feel like it had way more variety than the WoL PvP meta.

I still hated Colo vs Colo wars though. The unit itself is boring and only highlighted the deathball vs deathball, single-engagement stereotype that SC2 suffered before. I'm still waiting on hope of a Colossus redesign.

I only want WoL TvT back. FUCK

That's true. Disruptor shots literally one hit everything it gets to blow up on whereas back in HOTS, nothing was really one hit k-o. Maybe a nerf is in order? So far that's the only flaw I have with Disruptors and Ravagers, which is their attacks being way too strong.

What was WoL TvT like? I don't remember at all. Been easy too long.

WoL TvT has multiple and varied build orders and could be played economically, strategically, tactically, aggressive, defensive, multiple compositions, aggressive, defensive, a combination of any of these, mindgames. It could be high octane or a slow burn into an explosion of movement. Each move had an impact on the rest of the map and changed the objectives of how both players had to play at any given time.

I generally account WoL TvT as the time when Polt/Mvp tactical and strategical revolutions became rote in the meta. Though there are games before then (Jinro vs Ensnare, MKP vs Nada TvTs) before then that are still worth watching.

I agree the disruptor micro outweights other stuff too much, but i still think they are a great addition to PvP. A disruptor nerf sounds like a good idea, or just a change to make them more forgiving/less unforgiving. As long as they are not worse vs zerg ofc.

And yeah, WoL TvT was awesome.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

Well, that's a shame that TvT has changed then. Maybe make Medivacs boostless only in TvT?
