EPTthey said it back during the beta. It wasn't that they didnt want gateways altogether, but that they wanted the warpgate to be the primary production facility.
Patch 1.3.3 PTR - Page 93

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. | ||

Zerg can't QQ about 4wg anymore and banshee and void ray strats will be less effective. gateways cheese is more viable but that is good cause 6 pool beat proxy gateways too hard. The ghost buff is nice cause I always thought nukes should be used more. I am a zerg by the way and though there is a bunch of other things I complain about like protoss lategame I think this is a massive step into the right direct. Without the extremely powerful early gate pressure caused by bunker rushes or fast warpgating zerg is free to take more risks and macro up more with will mean they will hit 200/200 must faster than the protoss. Use this advantage correctly and you will prob see a 50:50 win ratio Lol thats quite optimistic of u | ||

Or are you another one of those zergs that doesn't care about balance or appreciate the fact that without forcefields Protoss would never be able to compete. Because people are talking about a 6gate w/ FFs or even a weird 3gate pressure w/ FFs. Unless you're just getting into SC2, you would know that Zerg doesn't just have Ultras for these timings. | ||

It wouldn't matter since zergs already start with an overlord, thus satisfying the requirement | ||

So are you saying economy of Starcraft works like that of the real world? Why are you bringing in micro macro economy into this? I don't see any inflation of mineral value of units or buildings when I build bunkers Dollar value may change every second but mineral value doesn't change or we'd be fucked if people are playing the game that is in Great Depression If you don't understand economy, please don't say anything and make yourself look like an idiot User was warned for this post | ||

I'm thinking this wouldn't help much, since we *start* with an overlord! | ||

The prospect of dealing with 2-gate again doesn't bother me tho; I'm kind of excited to be honest because the meta game and the maps have changed so much since then. I'm a little curious what this might mean for blink stalker builds. I can foresee an opening that skips warpgate to get faster blink and chronoboosted blink stalker reinforcements, Could be deadly and hard to deal with for a fast expanding Zerg. | ||

Since we pretty much experienced this from the beta already, it'll be easier to stop now that small maps like Steppes is removed. Yes, thank goodness there are no maps with close spawn locations like Steppes, or Metal or Shattered Temple or Slag Pits or Delta Quadrant... | ||

late game not microing your archons away from your own forcefields will destroy them since their range is so low... LOL | ||

I think the answer will generally be no, unless the Protoss is slow in getting WG research, and the zerg rushes for an overseer uncomfortably fast. | ||
