The reason it is a problem now is mostly because of mothership core. If they dont like it, they can again extend the research time for blink as it used to be previously. | ||

If the WM buff turns out to create strong early game pressures/all-ins then it might, just might be enough to force Protoss into being more defensive early game, which will force them to spend more resources in that regard, and thus might cut down on their incredible greed, hopefully shifting the balance more towards terran. Shifting balance toward a race isn't balance.... | ||

So you want the hellbat drop to come back? | ||

I feel like the hydra buff might break ZvP, but it would indeed help ZvZ and ZvT, so I dunno how I feel. The blink cooldown nerf is going to nuke blink stalkers in all matchups, especially PvP. Actually this is going to make stargate play even harder to deal with, it's somewhat concerning. Mothership core vision decrease is good. Do it. Tempest bonus damage against ground feels like a band-aid. 40+40 vs. shields? So what, widow mine splash will one shot sentries? I didn't feel that widow mines were weak. | ||

Fix the snipe nerf (45-20 vs. massive instead of 25+25 psionic), nukes are still really strong and are dirt cheap, they can still cloak, and give them something other than EMP (lockdown is a possibility but would be too strong if it works on massive units, protoss would then have no answer to mass ghost medivac in PvT, and it would be useless if it didn't (what are you gonna do, lockdown a stalker?). | ||

Tempest change and Hydra change... worthy of a test definitely. Let's see how these turn out. | ||

I didn't say I want hellbat drops to come back or for WM drops to become the next HB drops, I'm just theorizing on the possible implications of this buff. I guess when you put it like that, yeah I'm no longer as excited for it. | ||
