I think these are all really good changes. As high master protoss, my complaint has always since the beginning of sc2 been how we cant scout what terran is up to until it's too late to react. This is a small change and might help a little bit.

Also glad for my zerg bros to have gotten quicker ovies, seems like a needed change aswell.

Don't know about queen energy change, we'll have to see how that pans out.
To pray is to accept defeat.

I am playing zerg and i believe the overlord speed buff is long overdue.
Also the queen buff enables zerg a lot more options early game, which is something zerg desperately needs.
Not being able to place spines at important positions is limiting zerg heavily in the early game (on certain maps).
The extra creep spread or the extra transfure allows for better DEFENSE not offense, which is something this game needs.

I know that protoss and terrans will whine that this limits their options in the early game against zerg, but honestly, this game has way too many early game timings that i dont see how limiting early game options is a bad thing.


Or rather, giving Zerg more options to deal with T/P early game options.

So much complains over how much 25 energy would change the game, lol. Pros cant keep the energy of queens at ~0 late game. So, please don't exaggerate how this extra 25 energy would change even the late game. Isn't the ability to transfuse intended? Zerg players will still have a limited number of queens early game. How about you just focus down the queen with the energy to transfuse since the other queens would have minimal energy since they're on larve injecting duties?

Seriously guys... I'm very glad blizzard would still base their decision on what they think and not on the QQs. Like, how the ghost change went through despite all the complains from the terran players.

Did you talk to Stephano about that? I think he might disagree and i'm quite sure he has more authority in that respect.

That change with queens will also allow zerg to build less queens and more army instead.

I am all for these changes. People cry too much. Creep is so easy to clean-up. It literally takes as much effort to spread it as it does to kill the tumors. Good changes in my opinion.+ Show Spoiler +
OMG Zerg gets a "free" creep tumor. TvZ IMBA!!!!

Think before you write. The buff gives zerg a better early + mid game (creep is very strong). Terran NEEDS to do damage during the early-mid game. This creep buff makes it harder to do the necessary damage. Then we enter the lategame, where zergs will be stronger thanks to the buff they had early-mid game.

25 energy extra on each queen = 50 energy = 2 tumors = HUGE.

Lol, that could apply to everyone who makes post in this thread that isn't a pro-gamer. Please don't make ad hominem attacks, its boring and makes you look silly.

They changed the zealot and stalker build time reduction (from regular gateways) when they nerfed warp gate when everyone complained that it would allow proxy 2-gate cheese again.

Because the observer buff will help PvZ how? I don't think you actually thought beyond sensing an opportunity to praise Stephano.

I agree with the Overlord speed change.

I don't agree with Queens starting with 50 energy instead of 25. That is just rediculous. There will just be so much creep in the early game maybe too early that can be taken advantage of way easily.

The observer change I somewhat don't agree with because I feel like 30 seconds is a tad bit too fast. Maybe 35 seconds. I mean its not really that fast and its not really that slow.

I said that Stephano voiced his opinion that Protoss need a buff, disagreeing with the person i quoted, not that _this_ buff is the correct one (It's not).

What about 50-50 upgrade for 25+ energy for queens at Spawning Pool or Hatchery?

I feel like the poll is more influenced by what people are annoyed with the most, not what they think is most balanced. A lot of Zergs have lost overlords because they're too slow, and lost to air harassment because of lack of transfuse - therefore you would see the polls agreeing with those changes.

Protoss players almost never had a problem with Observers making too slow, so it's not being voted up.

In my opinion, I feel like the Queen change will be overpowered against any kind of air play from either Terran or Protoss. Overlord change will favor careless Zergs who should be punished for bad overlord placement, but it's an alright change otherwise.
