My observation is based on the 90% of players on the forums who are in disagreement. This isn't high-level response by any means, though I would love to see a poll of pros only. From the posts from actual pros I've seen here on TL, Catz's podcast discussing the new maps/patch with several other players, and the last SotG with iNc, Tyler, and Painuser, it seems like the general pro consensus is that a nerf is reasonable but removing the amulet altogether is not. I personally favor a BW style amulet upgrade that gives +12.5 starting energy and +50 max energy, but somewhere between +12.5 and +20 initial energy is generally agreed upon as a nice range. | ||

The Archon Toilet nerf is justified, but I think it makes the Mothership too much of a niche thing (As if it wasn't a niche thing already), then 1.5 seconds of immunity could be game breaking. Most players will throw the rest of their units into the vortex to avoid fighting potentially a maxed army with their remaining units. I think they could've handled that better. The Mothership itself was always a bad idea as soon as they didn't implement the Planet Cracker from that initial video. Most of the other things I don't agree with, but I will have to see how things play out. Bunker salvage needs to be nerfed, I could care less about build time, but even if it only gave back 90% it would still be worth it to drop Bunkers down. | ||

In which case Blizzard's work is done. See, I get the feeling that Blizzard puts one red herring change into every PTR, just so that the community spends its time complaining about that and not complaining about the other things. Then when they take it out, they can say, "See? We're listening to the fans!" | ||

"Listening to the community" is not a hard thing. Everyone and his mother seems to think that their opinion means something. Figuring out which parts of the community reaction are worth listening to is the hard part, and I think Blizzard has proved that it's not too good at that. | ||

Remember how we complained when we saw the new Masters Icon in Patch 1.2? How we were wondering, wtf why does it looks shitty compared to what they showed at Blizzcon? Well, what I guessed back then was right; the higher you are in your icon, the more stuff there is  This applies to ALL icons. This is also why some of the icons looked quite uglier in 1.2 too. For Icons below Masters, they too have more stuff on them the higher rank you are. They look cooler now; the reason why they looked stubby in 1.2 is probably to make it so that the higher icons looked more artistically "balanced". They look REALLY cool now. So happy about this! Go to about 0:50 and you will see! | ||

All previous stim timings are down the drain.. Well i always felt Stim to be a crutch. You can still put tones of pressure just with Conc. But i still don;t get the nerf, Stim pushes are really easy to hold. i think this is catered to lower levels. | ||

Then when they take it out, they can say, "See? We're listening to the fans!" This is mostly true. But if it weren't for the times Blizzard went through with a completely stupid balance idea, I wouldn't be worried. Protoss only has one strong tech tree mid-late game without amulet. Collosus are probably still the best tech choice in all match ups even when templar have amulet. Toss air tech still sucks and there's almost no reason to get a fleet beacon unless it's super late game PvT or you're doing a mothership gimmick build (ironically also gone in 1.3). | ||

Top 8 is generally the cutoff for prizes in a lot of tournaments. It would be complete wild speculation to say that Blizzard's adding some kind of ladder tournament system, but it's a possibility. More likely they went with it because "Top 8" in some competitions it's normally the important figure. | ||
