By the way people, P can't quite warp in templar while storm is researching, because we need that gas to stay alive before amulet researches. So if we get attacked during that time, we have a few useless templar that we will need to archon warp, and then we have no storms later anyway. However, I think we should see how this nerf plays out. After it all, you can all still whine about my colossus later. | ||

Something I think people aren't considering is the new fungal growth, even against non-armored units like the marine. The old fungal could catch a group of marines, but with enough medivacs it was possible to keep many marines alive even through 2 fungals. With the duration cut from 8 to 4, but the damage remaining the same, the damage output on non-armored units has now doubled. I'm skeptical if there's a chance that fungaled marines even have a chance of making it out of 2 fungals. | ||

This means you can still sort of turtle up with spread hts and not worry about 1 micro mistake losing you the game on the spot. I like this change.

I think I see more Ghosts being feedbacked than High Templars getting EMPed already ... Then you're watching some real tardos play, as it both outranges feedback and has an AOE. | ||

The key part is scouting and in the pro games Terrans dont usually have cloaked Ghosts and Protoss armies usually have Observers spotting for incoming enemies anyways. If EMP is limited to "draining" only a max 100 energy I would think the same change should be applied to Feedback. Btw. smart Protoss spread their caster units so "its an area effect" is not a valid argument IMO. Smart Terrans have learned to spread their Marines when facing Banelings so why should it be "easy mode" for Protoss? | ||

Actually, SC's ghost control was pretty bad I suggest you rewatch the games. | ||

Fixed an issue to prevent Force Fields from pushing units during construction will impact gameplay | ||

Well, people's ghost control is pretty bad most of the time - which should be evident when it's "pretty bad" in a GSL quarterfinal. The game can't be balanced around everyone playing perfectly. | ||

You have a window to move and spread your marines when you know/see banelings coming; with ht, not only is their movement speed less than that of marines, if you dont have an observer or even if you do, your opportunity window to spread your ht's is much smaller and more difficult, in no small part due to the fact that you know, EMP's are instant. | ||

Afterwards we can practise spreading our units, I will EMP your HTs and you try to storm/baneling my marines. What fun we shall have. | ||
