Good. Going DTs in PvP should be a risky move, more so than any other techpath. That way, you might see a stable group of builds emerging with more potential for longer games, rather than the whole clusterfuck of counter-builds you see going around now. DT shits on Twilight without Robo. Fast Robo shits on DT (unless you get DTs yourself, like Hero...). Twilight shits on... Stargate, I guess? And Stargate is pretty good vs fast Robo. Then you get the whole fast expand stuff as well... | ||

It's randomly 3-5. .....no it was 3. How could you even make this conclusion? These are the kind of changes that are the ones that should be made. Everything Blizzard has done so far is fix everything that is broken. In that, they have succeeded. Nothing in WoL is broken, but there are still some imbalances. What now needs to be changed are other little things that can help fix the imbalances. Rather than nerfing the imbalanced thing, the proper change would be to change something else. (e.g. Protoss 2 base all-ins are too easy/strong vs. Zerg. The right changes might be OL speed and Queen range rather than Toss nerfs. Nerfs may affect PvT too much.) It would be better if this stuff could be tested on PTRs then, if it works, be implemented, but nobody who's opinion is worth anything plays the PTRs. | ||

It also means you'll know the attack is coming ten seconds earlier, allowing you to prepare correctly slightly faster. | ||

They've had a Blizz made custom map available over the past few weeks(?) with this changes implemented for people to play and provide feedback. | ||

But this makes even mid to late game DT usage a nightmare since even if you literally got a DT into their base it's like...20 seconds to build a chronod observer with this change? Though I can't complain about the change in terms of banshee use and scouting Terrans (wall off all the things!). | ||

Making hellions a bit worse was just needed, i had rather seen range 4 though. I really wonder if FFE busts with queens will start to show up. Queens being able to freely pick off walls could really be good on smaller maps like korhal compound. For example make 3 quick queens walk em over while letting 2 queens at home and stream with lings after queens take down wall. | ||

Yeah I think a side-effect of the queen buff will make dealing with banelings in ZvZ a bit easier as well | ||

OV speed seems to be a needed change, Zerg scouting in the early game is pitiful. I wonder if this will effect the unupgraded speed of overseers? | ||

I think it's pretty much what they had in mind for that change yeah .... I'm pretty curious about trying to bust Protoss walls with Queens like some people mentioned, although I'm not really sure it could happen quick enough to make it viable (assuming your opponent scouts it as late as possible [when you start attacking his Forge] it stills give him a pretty decent amount of time to prepare, a second wall/cannons/chronoboost WG etc etc). | ||
