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.

Those two things are in no way related. Archons and queens have almost no relation.

No shit but you don't give any reason why queens should be buffed. Also, zealot build time is not increased. If you mean decreased, it is because warpgates come later.


Lol then why archons should be buffed? Do you think it's ok to have 5 queens in base to be sure to defend simple 2 void/2 phoenix opening?

probably because they were never used as the archon, just the "oh my ht has no more energy"


That's what blizzard wants them to be, they said that several times.

well not anymore?

Well to be fair, I think their vision of the game and its future is probably the most valid, despite what anyone else may think.

Plus, there are only six match ups, not nine.

I don't know, that is up to Blizzard. I could speculate but my speculation doesn't matter. I have no interest in discussing balance with you, I'm just pointing out that your point is completely off topic and you tried to relate it to this discussion in an absolutely retarded way. Again, saying "Archons are massive so why not make queens massive?" is like saying "Banshee's can cloak so why not make zealots cloak?".

I'm a bit wary of the zealot build time change, but the changes are so good! The one I don't really get is the pylon radius nerf, might be too big an impact on protoss wall-ins.

Why is everybody so happy about the Archon becoming massive? As far as I can see, it doesn't change anything (except removing FF). I hope someone can clarify this one..

Spore change is cool, gives a bit more defense vs. banshees/void rays.

I know that my suggestion not related with this patch changes, I just say what I think they should change. Zerg's T1 anti air is pretty much non-existant.

He nails it. The change simply isn't necessary and is only being made to cater to casual play. Is it difficult to hold off a 4 warp gate? It can be. Is the build usually powerful for how easy it is to execute? Sure. But with proper training you can hold off 4 warp gate 100% of the time. By definition it is not imbalanced.

There seem to be pro players who like these changes (LaLush for one) and I'm not quite sure what he means by "negatively". Perhaps he dislikes how the change affects other matchups? Regardless, I'm sure players will keep opening doors.


To me it's about making the game better. The game will be better if PvP isn't all about 4 gate. Tyler doesn't seem to give this a thought.


Ehhh, I actually don't agree. Blizzard should only step in to fix broken things, Its not up to them to make a matchup more playable or watchable. And really, with 9 matchups only 1 was retarded so I don't think it was that bad.

PvP is currently broken. It's a fact.
There is only one option you can go for, every other is almost auto-loss against it - unless the opponent screws up or you have far superior micro. So while you can risk going other builds, it can cost you a lot or money in a tournament if your opponent 4gates, so you can only go the safe route and 4gate yourself, which results in a cycle that is impossible to break.

Player A: If i don't 4gate i lose if he 4gates, so i better 4gate eventhough i don't like it
Player B: If i don't 4gate i lose if he 4gates, so i better 4gate eventhough i don't like it
Result: Both players 4gate


How is it broken? Stale maybe, but as it is now the better player will win in a 4gate microfest. Its horribly unforgiving but that doesn't mean its broken either. If someone wants to go for a less safe build blind then they will be punished.

And the other 2 mirror matchups are the same in that eventually both have to do the same of lose because they are being less efficient almost all TvTs will become a tank war,almost all ZvZ will be a Roach Infestor war. Maybe they can go on different routes to get there but they will get to that point or die.

And don't pass off your opinion as a fact

Cool, go post it on the battle.net forums then and don't try to justify your suggested buff because a completely unrelated unit is getting buffed.

You think a tech path that leaves you with almost no ground army to defend anything should become worthless? When are people going to stop complaining about what protoss can do? Now four gate is severely nerfed, we just have to make queens massive, remove forcefield, require a twilight council to build stalkers, remove thermal lance upgrade, not allow units to be warped in unless it's within two inches of a nexus, and make colossus splash damage injure your own units for people to stop complaining about protoss.

I was really hoping KA might make a reapearence in the ptr, with some sort of collosi nerf which I wouldn't want to be burdened with... making HT appear more in match-ups. I really do love good storming and micro battles around it, Collossi just seem to be all any P really wants to go with good robo units along that tech path to a good unit. Storms just make everything excitin, but hopefully i get my wish with archon buff.

That's 33% of the interesting matchups for most Protoss players, though.

Personally I really like the changes. It's gonna take some adapting to the later warpgate, but I think we can all manage.

I foresee 2gate zealot aggression with no gas and expansion being really strong PvZ early game, just like in the beta it will probably force a 1base roach in response and give protoss advantage going into mid-game. I think 33 seconds is too low for zealots.

In general, pretty good. 4-gate in PvP really did need to be made less omnipresent.

BUT. TO BUFF TERRAN???!!! That's ludicrous. That's by far the most horrendous change of the patch, and it will continue to make low and mid-level PvT even more imbalanced; at high levels I'd think it will still shift balance toward terran, but I don't know by how much. In either case, the early-game protoss will now change significantly; I really think the warp gate timing should NOT have been changed. As it is, if you are preparing against a 3-rax push, it already comes almost too late.

Oh yes.
maybe they could nerf the duration of pdd. getting sieged is hard enough without being shelled for 3 mins (and by that time they have energy for another).
