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. | ||

Just change warpgate to citadel tech but make it faster and more expensive, at least then you would have more decision making than just cybercore up -> no resources saved -> wargate -> wait an extremely long time. Just like concussive and all these other 50/50 upgrades that make no sense, take an extremely long time to research and require no tech pattern or planning at all. | ||

This is honestly so much worse than before. :-) Won't be playing this patch very much. | ||

I don't think that would actually make gate switching viable though. You have a 10 second warp gate transformation time to consider, and the negated travel distance which warp gates provide, which I suspect would be longer then 5 seconds in the majority of situations. That's my hypothesis anyway. EDIT: Nevermind, can't read. >.< | ||

Warpgate cheese toned down in exchange for free 16 nexus against terran every game? How about gateways inside of terran's main? How about proxy gateways against zerg early expansions? Really now, add 40 seconds research time to warpgates and get super fast zealots and stalkers in return? That is a buff. A huge one.

There is not supposed to be a choice. Tech like warpgate and conc shell exist exclusively to slow down their acquisition. Conc shell was put in because early marauder pressure was impossible to deal with. Warpgate tech was put in because early pylons in your base were impossible to deal with. | ||

As it is right now you basically lose because you didnt scout perfectly and protoss is going air really early(without really being all in or anything). It's just one of many things that need tweaking to make zerg less of a bitch to play. Players havent been as vocal about it as alot of other things. Ghost is probably in response to infestors being so strong with the new fungal growth. So the idea is that if a DT or banshee is attacking something out of range of a spore, that we can move it closer? Personally, I'm having a hard time imagining a game where chasing around after a DT/banshee with a spore crawler would be effective. If I'm not mistaken, spores don't detect while uprooted, so even the 6 second burrow time is enough to get out of range again, or to just kill it outright. I'm a little puzzled by the ghost change, I see ghost in almost every game where the enemy goes spellcasters. You think it's directed at TvZ? I thought that matchup was in a pretty good place right now, and generates some fantastic games. I think that the skirmishes that occur between the casters (HT/ghosts/infestors) is one of the most intense parts of the game, I'm really worried that cheap ghosts could mess this up to the point where players don't bother to build spellcasters vs terran. | ||

Will this be the end of warping in units over the forcefields in PvP? Can I finally enjoy watching PvP? | ||

 Seriously though I like the changes. Making toss rely on actual gateway production beyond the first 5 minutes will be interesting and I'm thrilled for the prospect of an actually interesting PvP!! | ||

Warp Gates should be a choice not a requirement. But Warp In is obviously the sacred gimmick of Protoss.. which Blizzard wants everyone to get 100% of the time every game. | ||

I hope they will buff Archon further. Like faster movement, less collision size or damage/splash/range/attack speed buff. HT/Archon is the only alternative to Collossus in PvZ lategame but Archon sucks too much to make it happen  | ||

Twilight council and templar archives are both 50 seconds, compared to 65 for robo facility and robo bay, plus another 75 for a colossus. Getting an archon and using it to bust the ramp could prove viable against someone trying to go colossus. | ||

If I'm not mistaken, spores don't detect while uprooted, so even the 6 second burrow time is enough to get out of range again, or to just kill it outright. That's one example, yes. See it this way, the 6 second root makes it easier to change positioning on the Spore Crawler - so if the DT simply runs away, that's half the time the Protoss player has to react/half the time he's able to whack away at drones unchallenged compared to before. I personally think it's made to deflect Banshees and Phoenixes easier. Faster rooting time = less drones killed.

And don't let the door hit you on the way out if some unfavourable (in your opinion), untested patch notes are enough to make you quit. | ||
