Yes, this is possible even on a map such as Steppes of War and you can do it in time if you scout after Pylon. Zerglings take years to take down a building and Zealots are good against them. This is a common misconception. Your wall (and the ONLY wall u can get in time against a ling rush) is one pylon, one gateway, and one zealot. Now you have to fully wall off (which screws you), or just hope to god your probe micro is as good as Bisu's (ie: which screws you). It's a bad bad bad nerf. | ||

I would assume a bunch of bug fixes and if Blizzard holds true to form some ninja nerfs/buffs that they don't list. The Zealot nerf doesn't make much difference in ZvT. The Reaper nerf helps Protoss with their Stalker though. It's still sad that Protoss HAVE to tech straight to Stalker but hopefully early Reaper rush will fall out of favor with this patch... in which case the Zealot nerf may actually matter. This should make PvP more interesting and PvZ better for the Zerg. Siege Tanks getting nerfed is good. Terran still have alot of other viable units to support them so they only difference may be 1 or 2 less tanks in a push in favor of some other unit. BC's are like the GG unit, so they deserved a nerf. They really were an all around amazing unit for the price tag. The Zerg change is more or less a buff in breaking down walls and a small nerf in killing units. I'm optimistic atleast. | ||

But with the viking spotting anyway this shouldn't really that big of a deal. It'll make a difference but I still feel like it won't be too much unless you really get marines everywhere or in extremely large numbers | ||
