Zealot rushes are currently too powerful at various skill levels

These all seem like pretty solid changes. Their reasoning for the zealot change is a bit odd though. Were proxy gateways particularly hard to hold off as Terran? They seemed pretty ineffective against Zerg, from my experience, at least.

In my experience yes Zealot proxies are very hard to deal with as T. Unless you scout at 8 food or so and can scout the proxy AND make a bunker in time and have marines.. I'm probably not an expert but as a Plat player I lost to it like almost always.

However I'm not certain if increasing the build time (on reapers) is always the good way to go. People will just plop down another barracks

It doesn't really work this way. The first 2 reapers have to move out 10 seconds later than before. The 3rd+4th ones will be 15 seconds later than before. The 5th+ will be at least 20 seconds later. It takes until you have a very big ball of reapers to make an extra barracks start to make up for it.
