Cause a robo is such a terrible investment and 200 minerals for spawning units in the enemy base is not worth it? Get real man. Thats not even much different from the cost of getting hallucinate and sentry or a stargate and a phoenix. In fact a stargate + a phoenix are 300 minerals and 250 gas, a robo and a warp prism is 400/100, look you just saved 150 gas, neat right? And no, you dont get forced to build a Robo, you build a robo if you want to warp in units in the enemy base. | ||

I only ever saw this used for gimmicky play. I think if this is implemented they should revoke the changes to pylon energy field range to what it was previously. | ||

And no, you dont get forced to build a Robo, you build a robo if you want to warp in units in the enemy base. So when we want to warp into someones base going for a void ray allin against terran, we just throw on a robo and get a warp prism? oh thats cool. What about when we 5gate allin a zerg? oh yea, i'll just go 5gate robo and chuck in a warp prism. Thats fine.... | ||

Everyone else, however, can clearly see how this fixes a problem in the game at the moment. Really, have you every gone for any sort of allin before ever? I use high ground warp in a LOT and i will allin once very... 15 games? only because i need to chill and do an allin after getting tired of standard play. This doesn't fix any problems, it completely bypasses them by removing the strategies causing the problems. And these strategies aren't even causing problems... | ||

High ground warp-in is for gimmicky play, and high-ground building is for lame-ass canon rushes. Also agree on reverting the power radius change, it would make sense in that context. | ||

Warp prism gives you high ground vision and you can warp up just as fine as you can with a pylon. This changes nothing after the Protoss player has robo tech, so only the early gimmicky stuff is nerfed. Im pretty sure 5 gate all in, as well as voidray all in falls under gimmicky and cheese, as well as early, i agree thats getting nerfed, and why not. 5 Gate all in can work just fine vs a Zerg without warping on the high ground, if you make him think its a 3 gate expo ( hello kiwikaki ). | ||

That, next to keeping the opponent honest. They're nerfing one of the last ways for Protoss to punish heavy tech or Fast Expands!? Just wait, they might put in a timer "No Protoss units before 20 minute mark, Dustins Children AHUM Pro Player" have trouble 1a winning" Hell, even the Hellion is reverted to a 1a moveunit?! I just want an official statement + Explanation of this change | ||

But imo they should implement old pylon range of 7 in that case. | ||

It's something as an opponent you prepare for against the Protoss race. There is nothing cheesy about placing a cannon on the high ground on Antiga shipyard to cover the watchtower. There is nothing cheesy about being able to place a cannon on the high ground on the 3rd in Xel'Naga to defend against infestors. There is nothing cheesy about using Voidrays to provide vision into your opponents base for warp ins as again, that's not something reliant on lack of scouting. These are legitimate tactical decisions that Blizzard is removing if this change goes through. | ||
