Not even a third of them, even. whats ur point? my point was that nixes were already insanely good vs mutas with that stupid move and shoot buff they got. the +2 range just put them over the top when it comes to fending off mutas and it was not needed. +25 energy on a queen wont change anything major... and considering toss players got the observer buff, clearing creep shouldnt even be a issue. i seriously dont understand the pure whine about creep. any good zerg will spread creep everywhere regardless. | ||

This is exactly what David Kim meant by Protoss at the highest level still struggling.

More elegant and on-topic point than half of you other petty complainers will bother talking about. So just continue on being argumentative, it's not even about the topic for most of you, it's just about arguing and trying to 'be right'. <snip insults> While the early transfuse goes away it still can instead give a free inject for the second/macro/third hatch, boosting the macro mechanic thats already balanced on a knife edge, especially if protoss players lose the suprise pressure thats keeping things even due to better slo-lord scouting (which I'm in favour of - random player). The only way it goes to creep spread is if the queen drops a tumor when she spawns, or they become more like spider mines where the queen spawns carrying one to drop and maybe energy can buy another. But thats a bigger change than bliz will want to make, as its one for the coders rather than the playing with numbers, I guess it could be straigtened out with queen time/cost changes, but thats messing with everything... | ||

If they are using that energy on an inject then they aren't using it on a creep tumor, the whole point of the change is to open up the zergs early game by allowing the queen to actually be able to spread creep without relegating her to baby sitting hatcheries. What would be the point of going that many injects so early btw? you cannot even spend that many larva that early on. | ||

That sounds more drastic than the proposed change. With the proposed change, you get a couple free tumors when your queens come out, at least 3 minutes into the game. With a tumor at the start, you can get an even bigger jump-start on creep spread. | ||

You can't conclude anything from just the final, or the semi/ro4/ro8. Anything. | ||

I think it's too strong of a change. It will make absolutely no form of early game pressure work against Zerg; the early 4 Queen build will be very tough to pressure in TvZ and Void Ray builds in PvZ will also be severely hurt. | ||

No, you have no real arguments here. Z have no real problem defending early pushes (excepted maybe 11/11 rax, but this change doesn't help at all) or air. And Stargate Builds so strong ? What ? In Bronze league maybe (  ) but not at pro level. | ||

In Bronze league maybe ( ) but not at pro level.defending the 3rd would be much easier on larger maps because u can connect the bases quickly without having to make a fast 3rd queen. same thing with air, queens will be able to travel to the 3rd for defense much more quickly when creep is already connected to the 3rd base of an unbuilt hatch. defending the 3rd of zerg is very important. | ||
