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.

New pylon radius actually looks like it makes a lot more sense. Like BW radius.

Also not sure why they're buffing ghosts. I guess T's been having problems with infestors, but . honestly a couple of ghosts can deal with it pretty well as is without eating into the tank count too much. There should be some tension there, but we'll see how it plays out.

Could be that blinkstalker into Archons is now the best strategy in PvP, less coinflips. Let me hope ...

What I really like about pylon nerf is that now cannon rush is a little weaker!
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

Just read that? What the hell? You aren't able to stuck mutas anymore? wtf, is Blizzard doing x_X


It has nothing about mutalisks grouping while doing an a-move. I am certain it's about doing the patrol trick to create viking flowers. They intended to fix that in the last patch but never managed to get rid of it completely.


I hope so^^

Honestly, as a protoss, I hated colossus wars more then 4 gate wars. I'm gonna just 2 gate every game now probably. Also, I think the changes make protoss once again vulnerable to terran timings. It's going to be so hard to get up an early expo with the delayed warp gate tech. And 100 gas ghosts seems really over powered, considering how much more powerful EMP is then Storm. MULEs make the mineral increase negligible honestly. I can see a lot of ghost rushes coming as well.

In fact, PvP and PvT have just basically been entirely changed. So many new timings to die to terran early game, and late game ghosts are going to be ridiculous to deal with. I don't understand the thought process behind 150 templars, 150 infestors, but 100 ghosts? Not to mention our late game composition is MUCH more gas heavy then terran's, yet they get the gas cheap spellcaster? I don't understand the thought process.

Archon and spore change is nice.

I completely agree with shimarit's post, mech is already weak as it is in SC2 and tanks being massive would be a nice change I believe.

O_O I THINK that there will be alot of 2 gate proxys now, just my speculations.

Interesting to see the gateway unit times decreased, I hope two gate doesn't become ridiculous again.

New radius is aprox 0.85% of old one like shown on the pic. However,

So the area is being reduced in almost 30%. How is it not significant?

its +40 seconds but you can spend at least one more chronoboost on warpgate making 20 gameseconds researching 30seconds of warpgate, but still, it look like 4warpgate wont be to huge anymore but earlier gatewayplay will become a matter (not necessarily balancewise) i think - not only 2gating

I don't understand why they haven't changed the Gateway production time of High Templars and Dark Templars, too. I was hoping that the Gateway buff would result in strategical decisions between Gateways and Warpgates, but the HT/DT issue implies that Gateways are supposed to only be a valid option in the early game.

And as for Ghosts, I feel like making them cost 100/150 might have been more appropriate than 200/100 - like others said, Ghosts are supposed to be gas-intensive, not mineral-intensive.

I don't really think warp gate needed a nerf. It will affect other matchups to much...

Holy shit. 66 pages of knee jerk reactions so I'll add my own.

2 gate seems like it will be strong vs zerg. I would have liked to see the spine root timing reduced due to this too.

Archons will add interesting new timings before the colossus window opens.

The other changes I kind of like. Free salvage is out and the ghost may be more viable in tvz.

So now instead of PvP being all about 4 gates it will be about proxy gateways "Ha, you didn't scout the fact I was chronoing my secret gateway." Zerg instead of QQing over 4 gate will go back to QQing over 2 gate pressure, which if memory serves me - was alot more reliable than a probe cutting 4 gate.

This 2 gate is the exact same as it was before a shitton of other patches, people held it fine.

I reckon its huge difference. It'll be so much harder to place a proxy pylon that can warp in over ramps, and as a PvP enthusiast thats a pretty damn good fix to 4 gate. These Protoss changes seem to really address the over early game aggression of Protoss which in turn results in pretty significant changes to Gateway PvP.

what r u trying to say about the Gateway lol? made no sense to me I might've misread or something.

and as for 2 gate pressure maps are now alot bigger than previous (when will they get rid of the DQ) so it might not be the same nightmare. Proxy 2gate though, different story cheese be cheese.
