EPTHydra change will be interesting, especially good for zerg to deal with air late games the swarmhosts are all forcing...
Tempest change might help peel the static D from around swarm hosts. Should be good.
Looks cool imo

CHange in the vision range was basically requested by community, but I personally share David Kim's opinion that it will probably not change too much - why should it? Perfectly placed MSC is still out of marine range anyway. Widow mine change seems good to encourage terrans using bio mine play a lot more. Diversity in matchup, finally? Unless it's too strong, obviously. Tempest change will not do shit and the hydra change seems fine. | ||

Overall though I'm glad that they're at least willing to try shit. | ||

Widow Mine splash damage component deals 40 + 40 shield damage Wait is it just me or does this indicate that the widow mine splash component is going back to the old way with a boost to shield damage. I'm looking at the old balance patches and the wording makes it seem like this is the case. | ||

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) you know you can kill the proxy stargate? | ||

As DK stated, these are test changes, and the blink CD change is one they just wanted to try out. I'd expect at most 2 of the MSC/blink/widow-mine changes will go through, and that at least one of them will be not as dramatic as proposed in the OP. | ||

This. A lot of PvP finals lately indicates Protoss has many viable options, so nerfing one of them isn't a bad idea at all in my opinion. | ||
