I thought it would mainly stop proxy 1 bases in tvp, but it just single handedly stopped gabes and uthermals dedicated 2 base pushes. Not a fan, just forces boring macro games atm

I like it personally, tvp pushes will need to change around be it the builds or the micro of it, but I think it has a lot of potential.
Thought the battery would save neeb there for a sec. Those 1 base pushes are really a lot worse. 5 marines and a cyclone just cant kill anything in range haha. If it gets toned down they should just fix the duration a bit imo, oh well. Good series by uThermal in the end

I think it's very limiting in TvP personally. It makes many builds much worse (and proxy marines or proxy marauders basically can't win against the battery unless the Protoss really messes up), it also really nerfs drop play (except widow mine drops). Terrans will probably have to play more honorable (or even more clown-like) once the patch is more figured out, which will imo end up favoring Protoss.
