Exactly as expected from the man. I wonder if he intends to back-track on those the first chance he gets. | ||

Currently Tempest damage vs. Structures is set to 2.5 times normal damage as a median between the proposed 2-3 times! | ||

And if I can't open stargate because simple hydra timings are too strong then I'm already dead. Dunno, it's just too strong, too restricting for protoss, too cutthroat. I would like the change in ZvZ and TvZ though. Hell, why not 2base hydra all in every game. Not sure what's supposed to kill it with half the gas cost for hydras Like 2 base stalker all-ins but just like 2 times harder to hold ? Does photon overcharge help when zergs go ling-hydra timings ? | ||

No, you don't have overcharge against 2base ling/hydra unless you gateway expand. Even if you do, hydras outrange overcharge and break down the wall, then lings flood in. If it's a ling/hydra timing on the third then it does help but it still mostly comes down to forcefields and getting a colossus out in time. | ||

Some hydra number crunching to think about: + Show Spoiler + On a normal base with 8 minerals 2 gasses, a trip with every worker is 8 gas and 32 minerals. Which is an old hydra every 6th trip with 92 minerals left (excluding overlords). Now you can make a hydra every 4th trip with 28 minerals left (excluding overlords), a 50 % increase. 100 trips before would give 16 hydras 4 overlords and 1200 minerals left. now 100 trips give 24 hydras, 8 overlords 0 minerals and 200 gas left, still exactly a 50% increase if we calculate it this way. Making pure hydralisks is now also alot more economically effecient, since you used to have 1000 resources more that you could not fit into pure hydralisk production every 100 trips on a saturated base. | ||

-ghost is ok too, but will not have any use for mech... -hydra buff is just... now stephano will come back with new style of roach hyrda max and overrune toss...(it is like 12 min 200/200 roach hydra...  but we will see.... -also to tempest: could be pretty interesting because you can kill spines faster in ultra late turtle game against zerg; Could be really good or have no effect xD | ||

Simple use the new Create with Mod under Custom Game, let me know if anything isn't working as expected. Currently Tempest damage vs. Structures is set to 2.5 times normal damage as a median between the proposed 2-3 times! Ah yes, forgot about this one. Can't wait to see a complete nonsense such as proxy Oracle into proxy Tempests become a legit opening! | ||

It is not like protoss is playing against the clock, their late game is still super strong against terran. We are only talking about early game changes anyway. In fact with such minor early game nerfs to protoss, terran could actually use a late game buff. | ||

If they want to get rid of this silly Swarmhost-Turtle-Style, they should just do something about the Zerg's Anti-Air (And no, the Hydra buff won't help there). Right now there's no chance to fight a late game Protoss army beside this silly mass spore + Viper style with Swarmhosts to defend on the ground. Which is completely stupid: Zerg has to build units which can't shoot up in order to even stand a chance against a flying army... | ||
