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. | ||

The 2-gate with 33 second zealots is brutal against zerg. Its seriously so good. Even non-proxy it was basically a standard opening back before the zealot nerf. | ||

(*seriously, every time I want ghosts it's like 'well, can't make medivacs, mech, marauders or banshees for a while') I really like the mod sticky thingy at the top of this thread btw. It makes me laugh, having not read the thread and imagining the mods facepalming seeing all the people talking shit. | ||

Pretty much every terran is floating a ton of gas mid game, since their core units are very gas light, and mineral heavy. Mule doesn't give them spare minerals, it lets them keep up in production with races that use mins/gas in a more balanced manner Terrans have less issues with minerals than they do gas, due to heavy mules in the late game. If anything, this is a buff for terran. | ||

What i'm intrigued to see, however, is the effect that larger maps (ideally) will have upon the validity of the 2-gate (in combination with the increased roach range and counter-attacks). I think it will still be valid, but maybe not quite as game ending (though I think gateway build times have been increased since beta). I'm not convinced it will be as effective. | ||

First off, the change was for PvP, second, if you think a game longer than 10 minutes is boring then you are playing the wrong game. | ||

Instead of just killing terran before they get their little cloak banshee nonsense, now I will have to just sit on my *** with observers and stalkers in my base and never be able to attack because they will have seige mode by then. As I said before this change will not happen. If it does, I see a LOT of people changing races away from protoss... | ||

Not one of those units listed except for the other Zerg unit has an ability with no consequences. Keep in mind that charge has a cooldown, stim costs life, there aren't always cliffs (and colossi are often therefore separated from the Protoss ball of units), and sentries waste energy. I think the fact that these patch changes are pretty minor is a good sign. After all, the statistics show that the game is pretty balanced. | ||

Omg you're right, probably gonna be seeing some zealot rushes again. It'll be like being back in gold league, walling off with a bunker every game against protoss, haha. Also, I love the way the 4gate has been the bane of literally every race since beta, and now in April 2011 Blizzard are like 'Hey...if you build 4 warp gates...off one base...it's pretty strong...' x) | ||

Archons will be viable PvP, Zergs will have a slightly easier time, and pretty awesome ghost buff. Bunker change is irrelevant. | ||

This is the problem I have with the changes they're proposing. They're reintroducing 2gate proxy viability all over again and opening the door to some crazy early aggression timings that they previously already addressed. I'm glad for the 4 gate addressing, but such a drastic lowering in unit production time doesn't seem to be the right call IMO. Early game headaches all over again considering the newer maps aren't that much bigger and proxies will only require a probe to be sent slightly earlier than before if that's even necessary.....  | ||
