EPTJust put another pylon on the other side in preparation, by the point in the game where harass becomes a big problem you should easily have the pylons in the correct placements to put canons where ever you see fit, the post about the 4gate warpin to high ground, this is a good thing..

Can't you just build one addition pylon for all those old cannon spots? is it that big a deal ? Even with new smaller radius you can still get a cannon right in the middle of the minerals and one at the bottom of the nexus. Agreed. I'm pretty sure they intended this change to actually matter. | ||

If you watched SotG, Tyler talked about how big the pylon radius is in sc2, and how ridiculous it was if you had just made the switch from BW. | ||

seriously though I don't see this change as anything to panic over, it's there to prevent the pylon from being out of range of being attacked from a cliff it can warp in on-top of. | ||

All other things such as warping dts on high ground require an alternate tech investment and by the time all the components are in place your opponent shouldn't die to your harass. Great because harassment shouldn't be used to kill someone. | ||

The point to the nerf was that Protoss could place a proxy pylon outside your base AND out of stalker range AND be able to warp in behind your wall. Now after the pylon power nerf in order to warp in units behind the wall Protoss will have to place their proxy pylon in range of Stalker fire. 1.3.2 Pylon = 7.5 - (.5 range needed for room to warp units) >>[7 range from the wall] 1.3.3 Pylon = 6.5 - (.5 range needed for room to warp units) >>[6 range from the wall] Stalker attack range = 6 Marauder attack range = 6 Depending on their placement of the proxy pylon your units should be able to kill it before he warps into your main (provided you scout it immediately). I've never seen any PvP where the protoss puts the pylon out of range of stalker fire. Sometimes they even put down 2 pylons. Stalker DPS is crap. You can't even kill 1 pylon before it finishes and warps units in. Besides placing the pylon that far doesn't provide for much warp in space. | ||

Gateway: 190 Photon Cannon: 158 SC2: Gateway: 232 Photon Cannon: 208 The current SC2 pylon radius is a lot larger compared to BW. Using the Nexus as a base for comparison is bad, because they are the only building that has more than doubled in size, to 25 squares in SC2 from only 12 in BW, while the grand majority of buildings have actually been reduced from 12 to 9, so the relative size of the pylon field is even larger. | ||

So this patch shouldnt really change much about base defense in terms of 3rd and 4th | ||
