Notice I did it without evo or spine crawler which most likely won't be the case in a real game. I dunno...I think you need atleast one spine at the attacking location cause if you keep trading slow lings vs zealots you arent being cost effective. That being said, if you do this I think you get to be pretty safe at the 8 min. However everything will be delayed and I can't tell how that will work out against a two base sentry immortal push which I personally find alot more scary. Neither can I tell you if I would get the tech up in time to pressure a fast third. I think I need real game experience to know that so I guess time will tell. But I still think that is exactly the point. This needs way more time and testing but for some reason TT1 throws away all decency and goes to the forum to complain on day 2 :/ Well, there should have been more testing to begin with, before there was even a queen change. This patch was pushed through really fast. | ||

Its not like queens got a damage buff, zealots still deal fine with them since they cant kite.. Ppl like you shouldn't be able to post on forums. You're addressing one of the best protoss in the world and you don't even think before you post. Obviously a range buff IS a damage buff vs melee units..... | ||

Obviously a range buff IS a damage buff vs melee units..... lol no hate to TT1 I actually like him... but one of the best in the world? I'm sorry but just fucking no. He is good, and knows more then 99.99% of the forum most likely. But he is far from best in the world. More on topic, I think this will be more of a snowball effect. Instead of the early lings for defence an extra queen will do. It will get more zergs to build more queens =more creep spread more transfuse = way easier to hold early aggression. Which then allows the zerg to macro pretty much freely. and as protoss or terran... if you let the zerg macro freely, you are fucked GG no re style. Of course this is all just in theory from a lowly diamond ladder player.... Only time will really tell, I just think maybe they should have done a bit more testing first. Changing the unit that is a races macro mechanic shouldn't have been this rushed. | ||

However, TvZ early game openings and harass forms are going to be GREATLY affected. Terrans should be creating these threads, not protosses. did you even read the fucking post? why do you waste your time writing mindless nonsense and yeah, pvz early-mid game is feeling like more of a struggle every day. i find the meta game is begining to shift towards really fast thirds in an attempt to hold off the maxed roach push and come out with decent econ. but thats hard enough as it is. If zergs have the gas and tech for a faster hive transtion to fall back on as TT1 is predicting (since zergs would get faster 5-6 gasses) then things are just going to get a hell of a lot harder  | ||

And no, zergs will not defend 4 gate from FFE only with queens and slow lings. They will need certain number spines depending on queen count which will hurt their eco as much as getting that speed. | ||

You know Idra few days ago played TT1 on his stream and called him a noob that cannot play unless he has got a economic advantage  As for TT1 concerns, it is too early to know anything now. We first have to see what kind of new tactics zerg players come up with and then what Toss and Terran come up with to counter that. | ||

Queens are not really that good for stopping ground pressure and making more then a queen per base against timing pushes probably won't be that good. I also think that queens ground attack is affected by guardian shield now, while it wasn't before (not entirely sure though). That makes a huge difference in their combat potential really as guardian shield dramatically drops queen damage by 50-75% | ||

Toss and Terran can still win against zerg, stop fuckin crying. thank you How does queen buff help us against mothership and mass archon colo storm? How does queen buff help us against mass mech units or a turtling terran on 5 bases? I rest my case. | ||
