It buffs the soultrain and i guess drop options against terran will be better but i'm doubtfull it will work in the way as intended. PvT needs better changes really, it's still just an defend vs drops then a-move game, basically at every level. The warp prism definately could use a small buff but I had rather seen a small oracle buff instead. I do like it for PvP and PvZ. PvP robo vs robo is pretty much void of drops because of the nexus cannon, now this option might see the return of some immortal drops. The mindset is still wrong though, if only they would give some nudges for mech vs protoss it would be great to see that actually getting some play. Why don't they just do something like giving the thor high-impact load bonus damage against mechanical/shields, that way you don't mess with TvZ at all and make mech be able to counter air a little bit at least. | ||

You use them for picking up Immortals, or warping in units (if you're bad and didn't place a pylon) so how is speed supposed to make a difference here? pick up micro? I generally think only foreign protoss is suffering and toss in pl is doing really great | ||

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. wtf 4 gate on 2 gasses? and is it hard to scout around for proxies after couting pylons? it's not hard at all to guess right, and you have a reaper which is a pretty good unit to scout his main too. | ||

Like maybe several times during the opening to confirm what the protoss is doing. | ||

Every time I use the warp prism I think to myself "damn, I wish this were faster" and every time I get the speed upgrade I think to myself "holy shit speed prisms are so good." This is going to be awesome. edit; as for TvP scouting, I guess this might kill the gasless expansion into fast 3rd CC, time to reaper expand safely. | ||

Siege mode change only helped defending.It's not like you can make 2 tanks and go.They are useless,you still need support units which require time to build so the timing of the push is pretty much the same. | ||

This build order emphasis is due to the fact that many of their units are not very microable, so they have to look toward perfecting builds to get an advantage. This speed change will allow for more standard play from toss, meaning better tourny results. | ||

Edit: But I still don't think this will change the core problem with toss, which is simply warp gate(and to lesser extend sentry). | ||

Edit: I'm sure you guys have been seeing this too, but we're noticing Protoss slightly underperforming at the highest level of play especially in Korea and Europe I guess Blizzard does not watch ProLeague. | ||
