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.

I so hoped they would change nydus worm, nukes and warp-prisms and make static defense stronger. That would make the game much more entertaining.

Static defense stronger, you are kidding, right? If something they should be weaker. Even late game 3/3 zerglings have a hard time against mass cannons.

I wonder when the patch will come out... Usually it's a week or two after the PTR?

so far im not convinced that those changes will be good as it seems like protoss will be pretty weak against pool/gas zerg openings (i play zerg) as proxy gates should be easy to stop and i think it could be very easy to delay the protoss expansion with later warpgates because they have to use most chronoboosts for producing gateway units

on the other hand im really glad that bunker rushes wont be for free anymore and i think a better price for ghosts should be pretty useful against infestor play

best part about the massive change ?

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

Actually this could be useful. Sometimes after splitting their army I want to chase down the retreating stuff, but my own FFs are in the way. Now I can just plough through!

Hmm maybe im in the minority, especially as a zerg player, but i don't like the bunker nerf as much. I feel like they should still be free but maybe a longer salvage time or a reduction in HP.

blizzard said the reason for the decreased zealot timing is a zerg who 6 pools.... well why dont you make it like with the terrans. they have to build a supply depot before they can start a rax, so why dont just zergs have to make an overlord before they are able to make a pool?

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

He obviously ment an extra overlord and you can easily make a requirement of 2 overlords in the editor, so implementation is not a problem either.

I'd love to see the nydus worm sound effect removed. I don't play Zerg but, as a specator, I think it would make Zerg more interesting to watch. The way I see it, if someone proxies a pylon in my base and I lose to that, its my fault for not scouting properly and having vision, so if I don't have proper vision I shouldn't get a hint that there's a nydus worm somewhere. I understand its only a small buff since nydus worms are often noticed and killed before they spawn, but its a change that punishes bad play and makes nearly no difference if you play properly and scout.

I'm a little concerned how this is gonna work with the MC-style, nexus cancel 4-gate. Sure, it'll come later now, but it'll also be much harder to scout effectively given the timings of a typical expansion and the new warp-gate timing.

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.

Learning the new timings will be a thing that all players will have to adapt to. I agree that the power will be stronger than before, but maybe it won't be safe enough to 3-gate expand on close positions with the lack of warpgates, who knows without actually tesing.

If it is cross positions (lets take the MC vs July Game 1) I think July would have had an even harder time than before, more units by MC and same amount by July, since July starts producing as he sees the push not before (and larva limits don't just miraculously go up because you have more drones/time). Taking a third is going to be an insane risk after the 3-gate sentry expand.

"Warp Gate unit train times remain unchanged."

Spending with current 3 gateways:
3x Zealot 592/0
3x Stalker 535/214
3x Sentry 321/428

Spending with current 3 warp gates:
3x Zealot 803/0
3x Stalker 703/281
3x Sentry 421/562

With 800/220 1 base income we don't need faster gateways, we need slower warp gates. Delaying the tech delays a rush, warp gate production should be slower than gateway production.
The solution is nerfing warp gates, not buffing gateways.

"Ghost cost changed from 150/150 to 200/100."
On one hand I feel like it should be easy to EMP due to the huge range, on the other hand we see ghosts getting feedbacked, which just shouldn't happen. So I can't really tell. I'd say they should be much cheaper while EMP having same/lower range than feedback since it's AoE.
With the range difference you could get your HTs completely negated, but a lucky feedback will cost the terran a lot of resources.

Hehe, why don't they give them just Concussive Shells immunity? On the same note, seeing immortal and tank getting concussion.... a bit wierd . But realism isn't important here.

Fixed a bug where players were still able to stack flying units on top of each other. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Hmmm warpgate is slower which means less 4 gates, but zealots build faster which means more proxy 2 gate cheese, better start 14 pooling again.
I love the spore crawler change, it's gonna save so many minerals.

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.

So you are going to ignore all the other ways of dealing with forcefields that are in time before a 6 gate push? Masters been playing since release been masters since masters released, but the fact that you dont see ultras as a lategame unit that can allow you to get proper surface area against sentry abusing death balls leads me to believe you are one of those 5-6 base zergs that thinks hes entitled to win with roach hydra because he can plop down unsafe hatches all over the map while a protoss sits back and does whatever he wants. 3 gate pressure can come fairly early but it generally lacks the raw power to do real damage other than slowing down your droning a bit. If one player is considerably worse than the other then ya... 3 gates can kill them, but even skilled players theres no chance in hell unless you make the grave mistake of drone pumping at a bad time.

As a zerg, i've ultra against protoss and i find them pretty good with 3/5 upgrade and some infestor to fugal, but Broodlord is still a better choice to go late game

Are we playing the same game?

Ling/bling ---> infestors ----> ultra/bling is really good vs toss. Just remember to get your upgrades. Also helps if you contaminate the shit out of that robo, if you have a bit of extra gas.

They were actually better when fungal lasted longer so ultras could close the gap, but now...

Although fungal is undoubtably much better now, so no worries

From my experience they are super bad once you have more than a few. 1-3 ultras together with mass ling, mass roach and just a few infestors can be really good. They lead the charge and soak up the first volleys from the death ball and negate forcefields. But considering the investment its difficult to say if they are worth it.
