I guess that's basically the opposite of buffs such as prism shield buff and queen range as in it will not make it MUCH worse, it will just discourage people. And as far as sniping MSC goes, how exactly? It has 9 vision, marine has 6 range. If positioned correctly you can blink in and marines can't touch it. Yes, but then you just see the edge of the cliff, and there might be angry Marauders just a few inches away eagerly waiting to lay waste to your Stalkers. It does nerf the push as one of the numerous things that make him too strong is the fact Protoss could perfectly plan the "Blink where Terran is weak → Time Warp to intercept bio troops" maneuver often resulting in crippling damage. | ||

This was back before Yoda was a nameless Korean and was instead a super cheesy one who liked mass reaper openings, 1 base ghost play and 2 rax. | ||

You also provide intel on where the terran units are and if it's safe to blink up. It's not all that different though, because you want the MSC within 9 range of spots you want to time warp anyway. | ||

Sometimes I even wonder why pros keep trying to go 1-1-1 mine drop these days. It seems to get shutdown hard 95% of the time. Use it in a series to keep protoss honest I guess  | ||

 On the other hand, the other changes look pretty cool.  | ||

Use it in a series to keep protoss honest I guess Sometimes the threat of an attack can be as powerful as the attack itself. You see that in the current trend of terran builds, they all incorporate some failsafes against things like oracles or blink all-in, because the threat of those is great enough that it needs to be taken into account. Now if terrans had 1 or 2 of those kinds of builds, and they also needed some special kind of scouting to also discern one from the other, then the threat alone would make protoss play a lot more conservative, and both races could maybe enter the mid game on even footing. Edit: I probably should add though, that if a attack/pressure of sorts can be deflected with a very small/simple deviation of a BO then it won't actually change much, the attacks need to be strong enough to force a good reaction. | ||

What Destructicon means: Terran now needs to incorporate having 4 marines vs MSC poke, having 6 marines and or Ebay vs Oracles, space in thebuild to easilly add marauders and 4 bunkers, fast stim vs frontal all ins, fast medivacs to put on pressure to delay the third, reasonably timed upgrades not to fall to far behind. Meanwhile, Protoss is pretty safe just getting a robo reasonably fast, and there's nothing really Terran can threaten with (the failsafes Protoss incorporate into its build is a fast stalker vs reapers and the MSC vs kinda everything else.) | ||

Increased on-creep speed bonus up to 50% from 40% that is currently now.. EL upgrade now gives +5 sec locust lifetime instead of +10 how about that one ?? Seriously, there are a lot of ways for it to be done, duh | ||
