just gonna point out that it doesn't make sense to ME why two buffs are being put in to help early game. wouldn't smart practice be to implement one and then see if another is needed??? alone ovie buff is great. alone queen buff is great. together i feel is a little extreme to implement at the same time. | ||

I really liked terran early aggression with bunkers or reapers, it was fun to play and fun to watch, so i am curious why Blizzard decided to stab it, as i never saw a problem there, from the zerg side. Guess marauder openings will become standard now, as there is no other way to make a zerg feel unsafe x3. Queens are not armored, and marauders are a) fairly slow and b) not part of the mid-game terran comp. I suspect that marauder pressure will not be the new pressure. | ||

The queen will be more useful against stalkers and zealots, but it will be the same against phoenixes and void rays. | ||

I don't think a single player under high diamondish level would be able to hold off any sort of reaper bunker rush, especially proxy'd, without the queen buff. Of course with that reasoning they should probably add neutral depots to prevent shitty ramp wall ins.. But whatever. | ||

Reaper bunker rushes aren't hard to stop... if you're a Platinum leaguer facing another player who is also platinum with the execution of the strategy like a Platinum, then you can be able to stop it quite well.. it's extremely execution dependent on the Terrans side of things.. I've seen Polt beat Korean pros with it just through execution, but now they're just impossible to pull off. I don't think Blizzard even factored in Reapers for one second when they made this change.. | ||

Edit (just to provide some more meaningful discussion): I think that the reason Queens got a buff is because of these early game rushes. Terran always applies pressure in TvZ because there really isn't much hazard to it. With the Queen buff, these early game rushes are less viable, forcing Terran into a more macro-oriented approach, aiming for a larger mid-game push. I'm interested to see how it turns out and how the metagame changes with this buff. You kind of have to do those kind of pressure to zerg why would they think that totally taking them out is a good idea? Now zerg can freely drone for the first half the game with out any threat from a semi economical opening from terran. Zerg can now scout a lot easier with overlords and now zerg don't even have to worry about microing their queens vs hellions i can't wait to get smoked by zerg for the next couple of weeks on ladder. This is not qq from a terran i did play zerg until this season switching because winning as zerg didn't feel like you won at all and a moving gets pretty boring thats why i didn't play protoss either haha. | ||

Terran * Bunker is not changed Oh, you little troll.  I like the changes, Overlord speed increase was a given, the Observer build time decrease seems okay (if you have a robo at all), and if the Queen change should prove to be too powerful, they will certainly revert that change. For now it helps Zergs in defending early cheese, so that's good in my book. | ||
