Edit: First! (SNIPED)

Now I wonder if the widow mine buff towards Protoss might make the 4 marine 1 medivac 2 widow mine attack early game a little to strong

I don't know if the Tempest change is a good one. Time will tell.

Blink cooldown. A little too much? I don't really know maybe the MSC vision nerf fixed it a little?


I don't think the blink one will go into the game its just a change they are testing to see how it works out.



I agree, they might just nerf a little less and make it 12-13 seconds instead.

WM drops against toss is going to be very annoying (again). Not sure if good or bad though, we'll see.


WM aren't hellbats. If you are prepared for them, the likelyhood of still receiving damage is a lot lower. I don't think it's a bad thing that we have to scout a little bit and get ready for that strat if it happens, instead of being like, "oh I notice two widow mines in my base, let's react to it."

Yeah I didn't even consider pvt, this is dropping the nerf hammer once again if this goes through. Blink stalkers will be seen as much as we see ghosts in tvz

Wow pretty nice changes!
I even think the blink nerf is a bit too harsh. I would prefer the removal of timewarp instead! Let both players micro!

blink nerf is HUGE... why not start with like 12 seconds delay instead of 10... 15 is a lot longer.

I hope this doesn't ruin Blink wars in PvP...From a spectator's POV, it's one of the most intense things to watch. As far as the hydra buff, I wished they took TLO's suggestions instead. We need to slow down battles not increase DPS.

The rest seems okay.

The reason for that is simple, its easier to test a big change and then lower it to see how it goes since its just a test map.

I like the msc vision reduction but I don't think I like the blink cooldown change

I like all of these changes, especially the Blink one.

As it is Stalkers are just too safe, 5 in-game seconds longer CD translates to 2-3 seconds real time.

I don't like this hydra change at all; it doesn't solve any of the lategame issues zerg has vs air based compositions from terran and protoss. Hydras will still get trashed by aoe.

I would like to see some experimentation with moving the air upgrades of zerg to the evolution chamber; possibly with a lair requirement on level 1 to prevent zergs from upgrading air too quickly. Spire would unlock level 2; and hive level 3.

This may help zerg to stay on fairly equal upgrades against air based compositions, which would help a lot.

blink will probably not go through.
msc nerf is good
wm buff means that toss now will prepare against my wm drops : (

now they should just make sure that mech doesnt overtake bio in TvZ and i will be happy

Well it does, to an extent. It's the one thing that I think is a little over the top in this.

Meh, stupid patch is stupid. Thankfully, it is a test and Blizz tend to over-state these changes.

Hopefully, all of those are at least tweaked, with some removed, before being implemented in the game.

Yeah, agree with all of the changes except that Blink could be 12 sec cooldown instead of 15. Still, seems like the changes are very solid.

Blink cd increase is way too much, maybe make it 12 seconds? But rather just let it be and just see how the visions range nerf works out. Hydra attack speed is good enough, rather give them a hive upgrade so they can fight against storm/skytoss armies somewhat. This would also reduce the number of SH/spore turtlestyle games.

Widowmines in tvp should be cool.

My random diamond zerg thoughts .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

yeah I can see that, but it seems a bit more, if not too drastic than that "buff" of the siege tank ^_^ ( was it 0.2 seconds faster fire rate?)

Good stuff. Blink nerf and MsC vision nerf will probably not be as big as these first suggestions but still good to see these things being tested
