What about when we 5gate allin a zerg? oh yea, i'll just go 5gate robo and chuck in a warp prism. Thats fine.... Well I don't think blizzard wants you to be able to all in and warp in on the high ground bypassing defense and the force field the ramp so the army can't defend the main properly. | ||

If anyone can bring forward a situation where they NEED their pylon to have high-ground warp-in when they aren't doing some kind of cheese or all-in then I'll reconsider. This helps reduce the ability of protoss to remove defensive advantage, which is a good thing in almost all cases. I like how they are putting it in the expansion and not a balance patch though, as the balance will be changing a lot anyways, so people can't complain "this will break protoss" when there are far too many other factors that can/will change the balance by far more. Maybe not need, but I place high ground pylons in my base with the intent of low ground warp ins if needed. No strategy is NEEDED, but it's just one less tool that toss have in an ever emptying toolbox | ||

Yeah man, those warpgates, way too powerful. I mean, Zerg and Terran lose to these all-ins all the time on the highest level of play, even while scouting the perimeter of their base. Damn those Protoss, dominating tournaments with cheesy high-ground warp-ins like that. ... Also, again, removing this also removes one of the few harassment options a Protoss has against after doing an FFE. It actually makes straight-up 2 base all-ins like 6gate or the Sentry drop + ramp FF more desirable, too. | ||

Excellent change. why is this an excellent change? were you getting rolled by 3gate void ray or something (a perfectly legitimate strategy)? there's NOTHING imbalanced about warping on the high ground. we shouldn't have to tech to a robo facility to do it when teching to a stargate is already the same amount of tech. absolutely ridiculous and pointless as a change. | ||

Seems like altering that would be a better way to combat cannon rushing. if they changed that i don't think protoss would ever win a game against zerg on a macro map. we NEED to ffe. | ||
