EPTAnd not to complain, but salvage still only takes three seconds and spines still take half the game to root. I like the change and all, but the salvage time is what really pisses me off.
Patch 1.3.3 PTR - Page 17
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
Massive units are not affected by concussive shells. If you think they are, you are wrong. It's SPORE crawlers that are being changed, not SPINE. Please read carefully. | ||

Blizz doesn't like T having the ability to completely hide their air units from their opponent regardless of what they do. There was a core problem with the Viking flower strategy in that there was no way to know how many Vikings were patrolling a specific area. In StarCraft II, scouting armies is already a difficult and important aspect of play, and it was definitely not our intention to make it possible for air units to use this patrol method to disguise their numbers. We consider this case more of a bug fix than a balance change. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/2566610#blog | ||

It is harder, just like ghost vs HT, ghost vs. infestor is a vision war. Zerg has creep which is a very big deal in the vision war and infestors can fungal and kill ghosts before the emp gets off. You have only seen 1-2 pros use ghosts because in practise good siege tank positioning is much more effective and way less costly  . TvP on the other hand, this is a big buff for mech which is truely effective against protoss when coupled with ghosts. | ||

Really wish they reduced burrow time of spine crawlers as well ~_~ I miss the beta days of pushing with your creep, it was fun and exciting | ||

I like the change and all, but the salvage time is what really pisses me off. when it happen i use my zealot to snipe the drone instead of running around with roaches, 5 zealot can do alot of dmg in a mineral lines | ||

 Also Warpgates should only be able to make zealots so Protoss has to choose what Gateways they make warpgates and you can buff Stalkers/sentries time to make it better... | ||

If you're planning on defending/expanding for the early game, you can just pump out of regular gates in the meantime, with their new reduced build time. Seems like a possibility. | ||

Pro-tip: the first 3 patches affected Warp-Gate time as well. Note that last one says "train time" only. | ||
