although I'd like to nerf tvp blink allins in different ways,stalkers are one of few things that are really cool as P, so I'd rather nerf timewarp more or completely remove it because msc vision+timewarp(usually ramp) are things that make pvt blink allin so broken...and with increasing CD for 50% it's affecting all 3 mus | ||

Ppl who complain about A-move Protoss, this is one of the tools where Pro Protosses can actually look different from a mid tier Protoss player..... :::://// Don't worry, it probably won't be as much if they nerf it at all. It will probably be changed to 12 since all of the races disagree with 15 sec, and 2 more seconds is like ~1 more real second, so it really isn't that big. I would really like to see Swarm Hosts getting a bit smaller, faster, they can reduce their HP like to 120, and make Locusts last for 10 - 15 seconds, so you have to actually get close to your opponents army than stay in your base while being able to send Locusts over the whole map... | ||

The blink change is drastic! Maybe even too drastic... ah well, I guess we will see. I think Widow Mines might be a bit too powerful actually, as a zerg player. Widow mine drops would be devastating vP. Tempest change I think makes no sense at all. They should look to either change something about the swarm host or change something else about a P unit that will counter it. Hydra buff... I thought they were good already. If Blizz wants to test this out though, I won't prevent them, as they are one of my favorite units. | ||

the problem is swarm hosts david kim, why aren't you addressing that specifically? Tempest buff is like a band aid, sure I like having stronger tempest to play with but that's not fixing the actual issue. It's like how they gave us the Msc, it's just a huge band aid. | ||

If Blink play continues to be problematic, this is the sort of thing we’d want to have tested and prepared to put in the game. Woe is me they might change blink if msc vision isnt enough, and probably not as much as to 15... I mean come on. Regarding hydra buff im all for it, but they need to increase blinding cloud radius whilst having it reduce sight with a set number instead of totally nullifying units like the tank. That way suiciding vipers into victory isnt as viable and vipers become more viable vs bio. | ||

If that goes live: 1) Blink PvT would never happen again. Colossus builds would be very weak. 2) Blink micro in general would be rare. 3) PvP openings would be drastically limited. 4) The protoss unit with the higher skill ceiling wil be doomed, therefore lowering the skill ceiling of the race. | ||

Blink nerf straight up neuters that opening and removes it as a transition after a push, since you can just chase the stalkers across the map with stim bio. WM buff is dumb, it still doesn't adress the fact that they either win you the game or don't do anything at all. Very little potential for micro, you burrow it and cross your fingers. Tempest change is a bandaid, if you can afford to park your deathball and shoot the buildings in peace, you have already won. As today's games showed, free units are not exactly the greatest mechanic in the game. Hydra change - if they think it's going to do something ... | ||

LOL These are good proposed nerfs but I think they only truthfully plan to let like 1 go through... maybe the hydra one just because they don't want SH standoffs to become the norm so Hydras would be a nasty Coutner to Late game Raven comps as the Faster shots would kill PDD use lol all in all I think these are things that may change things for the better... | ||

The only thing it'll do is make toss 2 base all ins worse, make voidrays worse which are a core unit right now that's direly needed in the current meta situation, and vs terran like someone already said.. mutas own that match up no reason to build hydras. Any Zerg antiair buff is welcome IMO. I'd still hope for less OP damage in general but I think it's a pretty sweet buff. | ||
