25%? Math ftl mate.

How do you calculate area of a circle?

Area = pi * radius^2

and thus Prenerf:
pi * 2^2 = 12.7
Area Storm covers: 12.7

After nerf:
pi * 1.5^2 = 7
Area Storm covers: 7

Difference in percent:
1-(7/12.7) = 45%

Total area nerf to Storm: 45%, it is possibly the biggest nerf ever done in Starcraft history.

As for the race stats, they are from esportsfrance. Counting the top 100 rated people in EU.

Terran	1681 	1118 	60.06% 	7.46

lol yeah, zvp is as close as an impossible matchup there is and bad toss players are still whining

edit: they NEED to nerf force field to last a max of 5 secs, cap the energy at 50, remove the damage output of sentries, or the entire ability from the game. it's very close to a I WIN-button vs zerg, AND vs terran...

Biggest nerf ever done in Starcraft history my ass. Don't you remember how much was EMP nerfed last patch? The radius went from 3 to 2. Feel free to calculate the percetage for yourself.

Storm has been a fundamental tool in every match up for Protoss for the past 11 years. EMP was situationally used against one race in some patches, there is quite a difference.

This will be especially the case when mapmakers start putting in Pandabearguy2.0 on their maps also.

Really don't wanna storm that dude by accident.

the win % will change once players learn to adapt to the adjustments.
