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.

this sucks lol. they nerfed zealot build time because 2gate openers were too strong and 2gate proxys were too strong even when scouted.

Spore crawler is too strong if change from 12 to 6. Also proxy 2gate zealot rush would be unstoppable for Terran.

I'm fairly certain Colossus and Thors also aren't slowed.

The Pylon warp distance is an absolutely fantastic change. I would have never thought of that, props to Blizz!

Spore Crawler change: Holy shit, I love this! Such a brilliant change.

Pylon power radius seems pretty random though.

More bunker changes! Though I admit that I actually like this one.

I have a feeling that 2 gate early game will actually be used now.


I think the pylon power radius is to hinder a Protoss placing a warpgate below a player's base and warping stuff into his main in PvP. Seems like a great idea

Hmm, interesting. Kinda glad 4gate is being nerfed because PvP was ridiculous but i feel like protoss are going to be really weak to all in timings around the 5-6 minute mark now and i sense a lot of proxy 2gates happening in PvP now instead -.-. We'll see.

Ghosts were fine as they were imo. Salvage needed to be addressed. The 100% minerals back was just stupid. Still only losing 25minerals per bunker though.

Glad Archons are massive now, why they weren't in the first place i don't know. And i guess the pylon decrease is to try and stop 4gate PvP where you warp on their high ground.

The spore crawler thing is great for Zerg in defending against Banshee's and that 2Phoenix 1 Voidray timing attack.

Like the increase of WG research time. Always felt it hit *just* to soon(esp after stim nerf :/) and was a bit to powerful, since even if it didn't work, by the time I held it off(if not going heavy rax/bunker) the worker count would be pretty even, so it wasn't really an allin, moreso than a way to force slow-low-econ game

Not sure about the archon change, guess it's a "wait and see" kind of situation, since I've always felt they are insanely powerful and concussive was the only thing that kept them from raining terror. That being said, ghost change might help, since they aren't armored, emp does 10 rauder shots worth of dmg per archon vs 4 per stalker/5per zlot.

Else yer... salvaging... I've never really understood the big deal about it, going from 100 ot 75 isn't that big deal either.

Uh not really. Spanishiwa uses spines not spores and he gets queens for anti-air. I don't see how buffing spore crawlers helps his build.



Try the build out yourself d00d. When you get hit hard with air you need spores. Plus this may encourage a spore over a queen if you suspect tech but don't know if its Stargate or DT; because now the spore can be moved to where it is needed.

Hey guys, that's what the PTR is for. Let's see how these changes will affect the game instead of speculating.
