EPTEdit: A few people have been talking about this adding to the all in nature, but I think it will allow more harassment options, which in turn will reduce all ins. If toss can rely on actual play, rather than focusing on trying to catch timings from build orders, they would be more likely to play standard games rather than relying on gimmicks.

Still, as a viewer of tournaments, I welcome this change. (Less importantly, as a diamond terran player, I'm kinda scared about this change.) Have faith, you will figure out it. You deal with hellbat drops after all. Most WP play is a one way trip for a lot of the units inside and it is pretty easy to scout if a protoss is going robo. And remember, medivac boost can also be used to defend. | ||

Please elaborate how this will enable much better all-ins/create new sick all-ins The protoss can build 7 warp gates and not try to take a third base. Just like the Terrans can go 8 rax and some widow mines and not expand. Both are equally likely to win if unscouted. Now with a faster warp prism, protoss will be able to all in....harder, I guess. | ||

Please elaborate how this will enable much better all-ins/create new sick all-ins You scout double gas in TvP while expanding, now let's play the guessing game for some of the possibilities. Proxy oracle Pooling void ray 3 gate Proxy robo Inbase robo 3 gate sentry 4 gate 4 gate prism 4 gate blink obs 4 gate blink msc dt rush dt prism All of which requires different amount of bunkers and/or turrets, addons and marine positioning. The only real way to block prism gate all ins is to shoot it down right as it flies in, except if it's faster it's harder. And it's not like you can really afford to durdle 6-7 marines in your main because herp derp a good amount of the mentioned all ins will just roll right over you at the front. And that's not even considering what happens if it's an expand build with either light harras or greedy tech. | ||
