Can we please see a FE (not necessarily hatch first) 4 gate defense on backwater gulch...It appears to be mostly impossible (read: EXTREMELY DIFFICULT) with how far the natural is from the ramp.

I think people use completely unwatchable too much on TL. maybe lag but casting/audio/video quality i'll sit through most shit. + Show Spoiler +
Assembly was kind awkward to watch tho
.

Thanks Catz for the stream. Awesome crew and commentary!

Thanks catz. To sum up, catz and some of the other pros thought that the maps forced terran and protoss to go with one or possibly two based play because of the hard to defend expos, most maps will be zerg favored late game with large amount of attack paths and lack of good choke points. I think the consensus was that they didn't like them.

Am I the only person who thinks they missed the boat totally on the Fungal change?

DId you consider that they nerfed the stun duration and left the DPS what it is now?

So no crazy kill FG, just a short stun with no compensation, a flat-out nerf.

There is nothing in patch notes about the fungal's duration being reduced, JUST the stun length.

This is what I thought when I first saw the patch too. I thought they would still take damage over the normal time just be removed from stun earlier? I guess it needs clarification.

Either way I still really enjoyed the cast and thanks for putting this together.

Cool to see a group of pros deliver an unbiased and knowledgable report on not only all the maps and how they affect various races but the balance changes as well, not just the usual crying omg zerg is so up wawawawa that you see often around here in response to the patches/maps.

So the balance changes are mostly decent, but the maps are apparently bad, but bad for everyone and offer one dimensional play..that's what I got from this review!

Listening to the VOD, their understanding of the change is that duration was cut in half and DPS basically doubled. (Same damage, but over 4 seconds instead of 8 seconds)

That is how I understand the change as well. Maybe you missed the boat on their analysis?

Erm, no, as I made clear in my post, I understand what they think it means...I am saying there's no evidence it means that. I think it's just Catz' brain automatically dubbing in what he would like it to mean...

And I'd like to get his view on it as a straight up nerf.

Yeah I initially interpreted the Fungal change to mean:

Duration of Stun: 4 seconds, down from 8 seconds
Duration of Damage over Time: 8 seconds, no change from 8 seconds.

As in, it stuns for the first 4 seconds and continues to damage them for the next 4 seconds, while still allowing movement. I suppose we won't know for sure until the PTR comes up.

Actually there was a post in the PTR thread from someone who's been testing on it. Fungal does double DPS and a +30% bonus to armored. The same thread has a video of the projectile speed as well.
