Naniwa got some harass in that way this blizcon unless Iirc. Edit. This is a great way to get some harass in on your opponents third etc as they won't have as good control of the surroundings there usually. | ||

Warp in on the high ground is very hard to do in PvP anyway with the ramp sight modification. | ||

The burden falls on the receiving player, and should not require nerfs to prevent them. You don't scout, you loose to cheese. Cheese will still be in the game from the terran and zerg players, but now toss has none. That's fair according to Blizzard. Don't worry we can copy Zerg and Terran units for double the cost therefore the game will be balanced! -.- | ||

There were a few good tactics that you could use, but most shit was just cheese. Photon cannon cheeses or 4gates. This will emphasize the use of the warp prism, which recently got a buff. I assume you can still warp from high ground to low ground? | ||

Most cannon rushes now a days dont involve high ground low ground stuff anyway. | ||

Yes it does... half the PvZ games I see are just protosses using void rays + warp in from low ground = / Taking away a HUGE timing attack option that was pretty effective against zerg. Also eliminated void ray rushes against terran basically. | ||

If you look closely at the picture, it is low -> high. It's a poor camera angle so it's tough to tell, but the ridge at the top of the monitor clearly shows that the left is the high ground and the right is the low ground. | ||

A Void Ray all-in that uses a proxy pylon ridiculously easy to stop, just have vision of your base and kill the pylon with Marines. | ||

My apologies, it appeared to be the other way around. I stand corrected, as of yet, there is no confirmation on High > Low. | ||
