EPTit's more like 2-3 seconds difference.
so with the +5 in game seconds change, ppl are getting what they want.

remove enduring locust upgrade, give the actual swarmhost a speed upgrade. Would be one example. There are many ways of fixing a unit. The problem in pvz isnt the tempest not being good enough, its the swarmhost being lame. | ||

What do you mean, so what? The difference is fairly obvious. | ||

Or at least remove it from the game so people dont mistakenly spend 150/150 As for the others "meh" The MSC change is welcome. EDIT: If they want to buff widow mines, leave blink alone if they want to nerf blink leave widow mines alone. | ||

I can see Zergs going Lair before Speed just so they dont run into risks of getting the Pool killed before Lair starts (wouldnt work on all maps ofc, but it would work on maps with airspace around the main, which in the current WCS pool would be : Habitation Station (vs. T mostly though), Polar Night, Yeonsu (because its so damn small), Heavy Rain(above the cliff on the side of the main) and Daedalus(you can reach most of the main from the third base) ; Alterzim, Frost should be fine I think) | ||

Its more of "down the line if msc vision range isnt enough" kind of thing. He probably has written from 10 to 15 and not 10 to 12 mainly because he want to calm the people saying hes not willing to do enough. I doubt 15 would be implemented. | ||

The blink change is the most off change ever proposed by the design team. 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. Explain how making a Strategy harder to execute lowers the skill ceiling of the race? LOL There is a ton of PvP/T/Z Openings making Blink Stalkers harder to execute is very much needed Protoss at this point with that build are next to unstoppable with 2 base DT opening / 2 base blink / 1 base blink / 1 base oracle / 2 base oracle / Stargate 3 gate all in / 1 Base DT into Zlot ARchon rush follow up / Double forge opening into 12 min ARchon Zlot timing / 3 Colo Rush / Colo opening / 2 base Storm Chargelot opener / (rare but still happens) 3 Gate Immortal push / Just a good ole 4 Gate ( which also rarely happens anymore) / Phoenix Openers ( which has shown to be EXTREMELY STRONG in PL ) into Colo / 10/10/10 into Oracle Rush / proxy 2 gate and the list keeps going on..... all of which can be used to transition and defend easily any counter because of the MSC so yea it wouldn't hurt to see 1 opener be nerfed a bit to give terrans a little bit of breathing room ok? | ||
