EPTEverything. 3 gate adepts doing nothing, 1 stargate doing nothing, faking pressure that does nothing, adding more gates that do nothing. All the while not taking a 3rd.
I dunno, it just seems like there's better things to do.

All the while not taking a 3rd. my interpretation of what happened was seed was planning to do a 2base allin. the first wave was when he sent adept shades toward the third and canceled them because of ling/queen in position, and he made more gates to follow it up with the main attack. meanwhile dark probably started planning the nydus when he saw the stargate. seed eventually had a third down and zerg had 53 drones, so i think if the nydus never happened seed's build was fine | ||

The only use is to allin, it literally is useless in any other case. Do we really need such a game mechanic? It was already like that in hots, but at least it could be damaged if you saw it building  | ||

I only caught the tail end of tonight's Proleague. Has Nydus been this much of an issue in the last week or so? This is the first game I've seen with it. | ||

It's not like nydus is so strong that you see it almost every game, it's fine for now, just punished greedy play. | ||

Well, I'm not gonna call the nydus imba, but calling Seed's play greedy is a bit of a stretch. He went to 6 gates and a stargate off of 2 bases and delayed his 3rd for a long time. He looked to be doing an all-in that he aborted later. It's not like he died because he had no units. | ||

It's not about balance, it's about bad design. The Nydus worm is incredibly stupid, it was stupid in hots and in lotv blizzard decided to make it even worse. Players will find ways to defend pretty much anything in most cases, that doesn't mean that it's good gameplay (to play and/or to watch) | ||

Also, lol @ that last game. Even as a SKT fan, that was just disgusting to watch. Nydus worms really ruin SC2 for the viewers ://///// | ||
