I think its a great idea! It will be fun in PvT to try to rush out templar-prism for extra medivac defense.

No, please no! Zealot/DT warpins are already so crazy hard to deal with. This will make it so that they can do it earlier and it will make TvP a really hard MU past 2 bases, when it comes to keeping eco up.


Oh damn, hard to defend past two bases?!?!?!?! Sounds like PvT with speed medivacs!!! Freaking Terran players, man.

Also, DT play won't come any earlier lol, the DT shrine build time is the limiting factor, not the warp prism's speed.

You sure about that???

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_StarCraft_II_World_Championship_Series/Statistics

Did you actually look at the stats you posted?

Korea Code S: 48.9% PvZ, 50% PvT
Korea Code A: 54.8% PvZ, 48% PvT

I don't know how anyone can quote those stats as an indication of imbalance with a straight face.


Cherrypicking like a boss. Look at the overall WCS winrates. Of course the 30 games per matchup in Korea is all we need for balance right?

We can disregard the 33 percent PvT winrate in Europe because well hey it's not Korea right?

That is how you win arguments on the internet. You take "data" from the area that supports your argument and then claim over and over that all other data irrelevant for due to your data being the best. Just wait for the arguments that Korea is the highest level of play and all other regions don't matter, ever.(unless protoss is winning in those regions, then they should be nerfed because everyone isn't a GSL Korean pro)


Did you even read the discussion? The first post in this chain specifically says Protoss is not under performing IN KOREA. You're the one taking data that supports your argument when it doesn't apply.

edit: It's even bolded and highlighted.

Clearly 30 games from Korea are what we need to balance for the entire scene. Why do those 30 games matter more than others and why do people keep referencing them as if they are more important? Aren't they offset by that fact that there are only 6 protoss in the round of 8 across all three regions and there may be no protoss at the finals for WSC for season 1?

Not a bad buff.
I'll allow it. :D

Everything that increases movement speed is alright in my book. As long as we're not giving +2 range to the fucking queen.

(I will talk about zvp as i dont know anything about tvp)

I don't think the problem is the warp prism speed, I think it is the way protoss works in general(Weak gateway units, easily counterable units, but very strong all ins, due to the timings they can hit before zerg tech(Immortal all in hits before muta/infestors, Etc)

The units they have are so bad that you need forcefields, which can be stupid.

Nerf/Removal of forcefield, and a large buff to zealots and stalkers and a new spell on sentries would be the best way to balance the game. It's definately too late for something that radical though

I don't understand people who say protoss already plenty of aggressive options, then list all in or semi-all in choices like dts, oracles, or warp gate rushes. The nice thing about the warp prism is it allows protoss to harass without committing so much to aggression. I think this is a good change.

Sounds like a very well thought-out proposed change. I'm all for more aggressive options etc, but I wouldn't be TOO surprised if the speed increase turns out to be too big a benefit (can out run even phoenixes though somebody please correct me if I'm wrong!). Either way, it'll bring some interesting results gogo blizzard :D

Buffing instead of nerfing is harder, but healthier in the long run. I'm not sure if the change is perfect but they are looking in the right direction.

I really hope this stops swarmhost zvp in its tracks. Or at least makes it more interesting to watch. Stephano's zvp games in wcs eu were painful reminders of WOL style play, powerful, but BORING.

I'm not so sure about this buff. There's only a few Protoss players that really utilize the Warp Prism. Now that Air play is a little bit more viable, going back to buffing robo tech seems a little wishy washy. Players that already utilized the Warp Prism will play stronger while those that still feel that the Warp Prism is ineffective will see no change.

idk how you respond to all these ignorant and pedantic posts plansix. people bitched up and down the street about medivacs speed, it's pretty much fine imo. same with a lot of stuff. make units better instead of nerfing them. it makes for a fun game (and it can be balanced too, what a concept!).

I'm no PvZ expert, can anyone tell me what's the state of the soul train in hots ? With msc and possibly speed-prism, it smells like good fun

You DO realize that Blizzard specifically points to "THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF PLAY" and "IN KOREA" in the opening statements justifying the reason for this buff. Why wouldn't THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF PLAY IN KOREA be relevant?

Why should anything else matter MORE than EXACTLY WHAT BLIZZARD REFERRED TO!?!?

I can't believe half of this community. You blurt out anything Blizzard does is stupid, then back it up by saying something that will obviously not happen at all. There are no Robo openings at all in PvP. Do you seriously think everyone will open Robo now? It's still going to be bad against Phoenixes.

I'd rather see the speed upgrade moved to the cyber core and not just applying the buff and removing the upgrade.
