Glad the warp prism change came through, should make pro-protoss games more enjoyable to watch and as a terran player, I don't mind so much. Obviously it's going to be 'harder' than before, but not something unreasonable so it will be a nice challenge :D.

Was looking forward to the shift between the Hellbat and the Banshee (as I already like getting blue flame

, and loved banshee play in WoL) but guess I'll just have to wait. I assume they aren't 100% on the Banshee change and didn't want to nerf the Hellbat without buffing the Banshee to make up for it, which is a little bit different, but I can't complain

Especially not 30 barracks with an option of either Marines/Marauder for deployment.

Hah. By the time I have 30 Gateways, I will have Speed Upgrade researched and it will be the same speed as a speed prism is now on the live patch. This is just a buff to the non-upgraded warp prism. It makes it just a little more maneuverable a little bit earlier its not like we get the super speed prisms immediately and will have 30 gates and no tech up at the 10 minute mark :/

...yay, I guess? As a Protoss player, I feel like this is really not the right direction to be buffing Protoss. There are so going to be so many more warp prism shenanigans in PvP now, and I feel like this won't really make PvT better. Terran drops in PvT are too strong in my opinion, but making Protoss drops also too strong won't make it any more fun to play or watch.

That's cool. Having alternatives to death balling is good

this is really just a bandaid fix, I'm still of the opinion that protoss needs a redesign instead of these small bandaids. Personally I would start with removing warpgate and buffing gateway units so that they're more than just a meat shield (and a bad one at that) for your colossus or templars. Obviously that change would need a lot of testing to find out just how big a buff and how big a nerf robo/stargate units will take. But this might just be me wishing for SC:BW HD edition.

Time to try the new and improved Turbo MANtrain. It's like the old man train but has Paul Walker driving the warp prism yelling "NOOOOOOOOOSSSS"

I don't think this will help protoss much at all, this will just create a few new all-ins for a race that relies heavily on gimmicks. Units such as the zealot, stalker, voidray, colossus, carrier, mothership/core, and immortal need to be entirely redesigned; or perhaps introduce some new units (reaver, hint hint).

speed medivacs same problem

however, medivacs have 8 marines. warp prism warps in 10-20 zealots, you are fucked unless your army is in position. also when medivac speed is on cooldown it has speed of 3.5. Warp prisms are faster than that at 3.9

when can we get to the point where we agree amongst ourselves that all three races need to be good, even if they're not the ones we play?

Redesign of a fundamental mechanic will probably never occur, eventhough wg is a stupid mechanic which mitigate defenders advantag. Taking away defenders advantage force the nerf on the gateway units or else they would be op, which you are implying. This is also the reason protoss realy heavily on gimmicks since their base units are too weak while their tech unit are too strong. Leading to either all-in warpgate play or turtleing high tech plays.

Good change let's see how this turns out.

Wait, as a P I honestly care much more about a hellbat nerf than a prism buff.
What about hellbats??

But zerg could have ~25 overlords if they're maxed out. That's their ENTIRE ARMY that they can drop in your base at once!!!
