I still think that the creep spread is gonna be way too good in ZvP, which will reduce the efficiency of all protoss 2 bases build since it will gives us more map vision an mobility (plus no proxy pylon) and that's not necessery in my opinion. I feel like, giving the ability to a hatch to put down one creep tumor is a better option, it will help to prevent cheese like 3 pylon block and it will give a better creep spread, but without the snowball effect of creep spread when you gives 50 energy to Queen. | ||

Someone should make a video on youtube that shows the difference. | ||

The Observer buff is ok imo. Protoss need better mid early game options. I mean, what so wrong with that? Is 10 seconds is that important as people trying to prove? Either way, Protoss would get Observer before Cloak. Banshee still keep Protoss force at home. I highly doubt if 10 seconds earlier can do that much damage to Banshee opening. It's 2 Probes kill at best The Queen change is the only thing concerned me. I mean... seriously? What does it do anyways? It doesn't stop early cheese, all in (like 2 Rax, Cannon Rush...). It can't even stop Bunker Rush. Meanwhile any kind of opener in mid early game is too strong and unstoppable, which is not very fair, and make the game more BORING (I mean, seriously? in that case who dare to attack zerg?) And at last, it will make Zerg spread creep a lot faster (like 33-50%). They can also pull the Macro Hatch up a lot faster, being a lot more greedy while being safer (which basically mean the end of PvZ) Ok just assume that Queen update won't badly ruin SC2 Balance... then what the point of that update? It does not make Zerg that much less vulnerable to early cheese. It just... makes Zerg have easier time in the early game. Seriously? Easier? | ||

on the same positions it took the old ovie about 3 mins and 40 seconds to get to the same location. at the top levels, im sure those 40 seconds will be a big deal. | ||

I feel like they just took those complaints straight from the Battle.net forums.. 50 energy starting queen isn't taking into account late game creep spread which will be godlike and all queens will have a massive useless pileup of energy that will be spent mostly on pure creep tumors, which in return will have everyones creeps pread looking like seals.. Spreading creep in the late game is something that takes up alot of APM. Only at the very top level this might be a problem, though i think pro players have better things to spend their apm on, even though its +270. The casual Z player wont even come close to having perfect creep spread even with the queens starting energy at 25 as it is now. Dont overexaggerate and breathe in. If the Z players is covering the whole map in creep, you arent denying his creep well enough. These changes seems very nice, though i feel like something needs to be done about TvP late game. | ||

Queen buff its too much i think.Starging with both creep and inject its just crazy.Hellions wont deny anything,because creep will grow much faster with 2 tumors,and not only this,Z will skip 3rd queen in TvZ so there are 3 more drones... | ||
