EPTThat being said, if they made the Amulet give 20 energy instead of 25, it would give terran a little breathing room and the ability to snipe warped in templar. That would be a better change then removing it all together.

and the drastic increase in time for the stim upgrade seems like a joke to me. now 4gate would be unbelievably strong and extremely hard to hold off. | ||

That would be a better change then removing it all together. If the community don't want a change who is on the PTR, they better yell it, because blizzard is blind with that. WoW balance changes and PTR tell you that every morning. Last time they even said " We know the problem was in, but we didn't though it was as bad as you told us. " | ||

Because it wasn't imba, it was necessary. Oh well, just like another guy said, protoss variety disappearing with every patch. I'd be KIND of fine with it if they also did something so that terran can't(even more so now) start going blind vikings, cus they'd actually have to scout our tech. I guess the 2forge builds are going to be even more important now. kinda agree, yeah i don't really get why they try to nerf the ht path instead of the colossus path not saying either one needs to be nerfed but it appears to me that nerfing the colossus path would be the smarter choice... | ||

I'm not too sure about the fungal change. I feel like it's due to a combination of it being too strong at stopping drops and not being good enough against blink stalkers. The trouble is, this makes corrupter/broodlord a lot stronger in ZvT since vikings are armored and easy to fungal which the terran is generally forced to make. I won't completely disagree with this yet but it seems like a strange choice. I'm sad about the archon toilet/viking flower removal  why remove these cool tricks? Things like this are what made bw great. | ||

, Kaydarian amulet removed and stim time increased to 170, thats like 3 MINUTES!!! Oh well everything else is pretty dam awesome  !!EDIT: Now I just realized. The khaydarian amulet does make sense, it's just so that Toss can't warp in 10 HTS and instantly storm the Terran army and change the tide of the game in seconds. Makes sense now. Stim, still not so much, it just delays the the stim push by 30 seconds, it's not negating the stim though. Protoss still can probably do something about it. Overall i guess that the balance changes are pretty reasonable. | ||

Not anymore. Oh but the Stim Pushes that we already solved are less effective by 30 seconds. It's not that bad. Just carry some templar in a warp prism to prevent EMP during a push. Plan ahead 25 seconds when you want a storm. Keep random templar around cannons on random bases. Play like Brood War players do. | ||

Third, Archon Toilet was overpowered, and you know it. Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean it is balanced. Fourth, people haven't even given the new maps enough of a chance to judge them. SHUT UP and play the game. Your voice has no effect on whatever the hell Blizzard wants to do with it. If they want to ruin it (they won't) then there's nothing you can do about it. If they want to make it better, they'll make it better. Not with your ridiculous whining when I believe none of you have any global significance or accomplishments in this game. Play the game. If you don't like it, stop playing. But most of all, stop complaining about it. Archon toilet is overpowered because you let your opponent get enough gas for a mothership and mass archons? The vortex nerf made it so you WANT your units in the vortex for free hits for 1.5 seconds. And no, you're wrong. If we had no effect on what blizzard wanted to do, there would be no PTR. Blizzard would not patch the glitches/gimmicks that are posted here on TL. Also, IdrA cries about imbalance too. Also, you're complaining too. Cry more. | ||

i would make it +15 or +20 energy, doesn't allow insta-storm, but still is a useful upgrade. Edit: yeah, colossus being more attractive sucks for P, they should buff something else, VR flux vanes back again maybe? Also, they should get some buff to Corruptor attack, even if they had to reduce armor 1. | ||
