I like the buff as a protoss, makes queen use more viable and so I get to stop playing vs idiots who mass roaches and then hit my colo/sentry/immo/blink army and cry imbalance. Perhaps that will change a bit, sad that in high leagues people still mass roaches and pray for wins. So imho, this is only good. I'd like to see you playing against Stephano, if you really think like this... | ||

I do agree that the discussion about a change itself decreases with time (obviously) but that doesn't mean discussion now is not valuable or the change will be forgotten. This here is pinpointing a certain concern with the change and how to deal with it. Nothing wrong with that and nothing "lol"-worthy in my opinion. | ||

Zergs have been figuring out stuff on their own for a LOOOOOOONG time now about dealing with silly stuff the P and T can do. It's your turn now..lol so stop this nonsense. Did the Zergs complain this much when the Immortal got a range buff? Hell no. Not even close to this T and P whinefest. | ||

Oh god yes, it was terrible, like every patch makes 66% of the community whine horribly, even for the silliest things The thing I hate the most with that change is that they didn't take time to test it, they were like "hey, what if queens had 5 range?... oh looks good, gogo change it on bnet before anyone can react!" | ||

This figuring out BS should've made me ignore your post altogether, so useless, but ..immortal range buff happened to protoss to deal with 1-1-1 better, of course zergs didn't complain much. | ||

2) Minirals are quite limited when do a 3 hatch opening. If you've noticed, alot of zerg usually get their third queen when the third is done instead of getting it while the third is building. This is because you can barely support all the larva -> drone AND hatchery production. Getting more queens early is ironically going to cut into your drone production and when that is the case you might as well get roaches cause they are alot better fighting units. 3) Does TT1 ever not complain about balance? It's litterally been ½-1½ day and the fact that you called the replicator like everyone and their dog doesn't really change that. The game is as balanced as it gets and when something gets out of line it will get change at some point, like always. If this is too good it's gonna be changed back - but it's not gonna be changed based on your "Yo I have played 10 games vs zergs and I called the replicator being removed so plz do as I say" comments. If you even had the decency to wait like a week or heck even a month I might just have listened but meh...I'm so tired of your complaints. I miss the days when it was ettique among pro players not to open their month about balance (Basically in any other RTS game I have played) cause they know better and have a better mindset. I dunno why SC2 has this crybaby mentality - both among pros AND the community. I guess it's cause Blizzard has made the mistake of listening to people and now everyone feel it's their right to explain why they are losing on the ladder | ||

And does the range make a big difference if you have 4-5 there?, Since I feel like they would be hard to micro more than they are already capable of without taking much damage, and if they just tank the damage, the range upgrade is invalid. But as for your 4gate pressure, lets say, zerg opens mass queen, and you go for a really fast 3rd nexus, he can't apply pressure because he doesn't have any gas. Mass queens are defensive, if someone makes a lot of defense, you don't attack into it, same reason why after X protoss all in that destroyed the 3rd of zerg, I've seen a lot of protoss just run into 7 spines at the zergs natural, basicly resetting the game. In short, you shouldn't attack someone whos going for heavy defenses, it might be hard to scout though. | ||

On topic, if we see GSL zergs use mass queens in PvZ. Like more than 4 of them early game. Then we can start this discussion about imbalance TT1's one day of ladder difficulty is not sufficient evidence. | ||
