The problem most protoss and Terrans are facing now is probably a combination of the faster overlords and the improved queens and not just queens alone. There will be a transition phase both races will have to take before they feel "comfortable" again. The problem however will be if the transition phase never ends. That protoss and Terran players would feel worse off after the changes was a given. Have some patience. | ||

Zerg needed a buff, everyone knows that. Buffing a queen range by (2) and ovie speed -( which is the most important buff )- will not break the game. IMHO ofcourse | ||

That wouldn't have changed if queens didn't have ground range, seeing as how you'd be trying to surround the stalkers with the lings and still kite zealots with the queens... | ||

How many PvZ's have you played since then? Is it really already time to jump all over this and yell "OP"? Or is it entirely possible that you could put a little more time into figuring out something new/different? | ||

A 4 gate without expansion against Zerg is an all-in (a horrible one that as Kefka has pointed out hasn't worked since back in the day). That's not what TT1 is talking about in my opinion. | ||

This game is pretty complex and I feel confident that protosses will eventually figure out ways to deal with this. too soon I think to say this change must be reverted. Yeah lol way to soon to judge. But I am not surprised, like every patch other races cry or whatever then in a week it's all forgotten ^^. | ||
