Cannon rushes aren't a problem on normal maps. In high-level play, they're virtually nonexistant. I agree, but then everything anyone has mentioned in this thread is virtually nonexistent in high level play. I don't care for the change because it could be irritating, but I find it otherwise irrelevant. | ||

Hopefully at least we can still warp/power stuff from the high ground onto the low ground. Would hate to be unable to warp in reinforcements from the edge of my base. | ||

WBC did very well at MLG Anaheim with cannon rushes, eliminating FXO Oz (recent Code A finalist) and taking a game off Socke on his way to finishing 21st. He also beat Incontrol on consolation matches. And in this VOD, you'll see how easily he takes out MouzMana in the EG Masters Cup: http://sc2casts.com/cast5280-MaNa-vs-wbc-Best-of-3-All-in-1-video-EG-Masters-Cup-Mousesports-vs-Gosu But only Terran cheese will be as strong in HOTS and it was in WOL, at least until this point. | ||

Because players don't use the High Ground > Low Ground on Tal'Darim at all in pro play Or use the 3g + VR to punish Marauder Expands or use Stargate units for high ground warp ins in the midgame\ /sarcasm | ||

What "high level play" do you watch? I haven't missed a GSL match, or MLG stream, and even most NASL/IPL games in months, and I can think of many games that this would have totally impacted. | ||

I don't care for the change because it could be irritating, but I find it otherwise irrelevant. Highground Warpins with Stargate units providing vision have been used in a fair amount of high-level PvZs, both as a means of harassment as well as in all-ins. Although, I guess I should be used to Blizzard removing Protoss options just for the hell of it by now. :/ | ||

Seriously though, I don't see this as a necessary change. | ||

I honestly think that Dusty and David Kimchi has an idea behind these changes and as stated many times WG is a design flaw. | ||

Prism requires you to go down a certain tech path (as if toss weren't already reliant on the robo enough). Also a mobile prism versus a static pylon serve two different needs/purposes strategically. | ||
