I think there were a couple of Protoss posters, one of whom, I am pretty certain is a troll (theory crafting like mad) with a few Terran rising to it. But, the rest seem to be generally fine with it - as am I. | ||

"Regarding Hydralisk, I think that it would be much better to buff their anti air range and/or HP, not DPS. Perhaps something like this: Air attack range increased from 5 to 6. (becomes 7 after range upgrade) HP increased from 80 to 90. Anti air range is especially relevant because Zerg lacks good AA, except for spores. This would give them the same AA range as Queens, after you make range upgrade." Edit: On February 26 2014 14:16 Aveng3r wrote: im so dissapointed they didnt do something about blink They did.

Oracles are impossible to kill and are still cost efficient even when u invest in directly countering them with turrets. U literally need 2 turrets or 1 turret and a marines. It doesnt make sense. Oh my god TWO WHOLE TURRETS? NO WAY 200 minerals to block a 300/300 Toss investment? Oh man how rough that must be. | ||

Your right even when considering having to build an ebay earlier than you want to building two turrets PER BASE which is four is in no way impeding to your build at all silly me i forget that things like banshees and other forms of terran harass units illicit comparable responses economically (like force and cannons right!) and are so slow they require many actions and attention to detail as opposed to simply selecting overcharge. You are right 200 minerals no and no build hitches. Oracle never cost efficient in the face of perfect mirco duh and preventative measures. | ||

That's two turrets per base if you want to move out with marines just to keep your mineral lines from getting destroy. Oracles have other uses like picking off SCVs building production, units coming out of production, scouting, deny SCV scout, revelation. So yes, it can be pretty rough. | ||

If it is so dang strong, that you can get a fast 3rd and put the terran far behind, it should be done every single game at pro level, and P should have 90%+ winrate. They don't, so it's not. /thread Lol, and BL/infestors weren't used in every single game and ZvP was never 90% for zerg, does that mean it was fine? Or 1-1-1 pre patch and pre map changes? Are you really suggesting things should only be changed if it has a 90% win rate? If so, please bring back the pre-nerf hellbats and widow mines. With the exception of maybe 5 rax reapers using the early WoL maps, nothing had 90% win rate. | ||

The closest comparable opening was in tvz/tvt and it was called hellbat drops. They since got nerfed because: Having an opening that can hit you reasonably cheaply and be expanded upon which when not prepared for can instantly lose you the game is stupid, furthermore since we dont play in a vacuum, just the threat of that build forces unreasonable countermeasures vs potentially stronger builds (in tvz its the 21 triple oc build, in pvt there's a miriad). Hellbat drops were almost unanimously regarded as a ridiculous and hence got nerfed, proxy oracle is if anything worse. Also, the two examples you gave were ridiculous. One hits you much much later (assuming two base muta here) and you have to do more damage then the proxy oracle build (which is kind of funny) the other cannot end the game without the protoss making the worlds largest micro mistake. | ||

There's been countless games where people open up Stargate oracle, get at most 1-2 SCV kills cause who can't, and it's a very simple templar transition that plays like a normal game. Zest vs Maru was the most recent one in Proleague. sOs vs Bomber in WCS is also an easy one to see. Those are just the ones off the top of my head, I'm sure other people can give you far more examples that you're gonna just ignore. | ||

I think Flash has emailed DK several times. And some of his suggestions were implemented. But I am pretty sure DK got the same suggestions from hundreds of pro and non-pro players (sight range, blink, etc). | ||

Imo shoulda waited for the meta to develop a bit more before buffing. Buffs aren't only to made to units to make them more used/common. Some buffs are made so the units does better vs other units or do better in their roles. Immortals got buffed even though they were common before their buff. Spores were buffed even when they were being made. Protoss got buff to their upgrades even though protoss were already upgrading. Buffs to widows mines were done to increase their effectiveness in early harass (forcing protoss to be more defensive) and vs mass zealots comps that were increasingly more popular. | ||

So I guess you're both right.. If Protoss opens up with a Stargate it was an investment, and if it failed - true that Protoss is behind.. But - shouldn't it be that way ?? Also - don't forget how Revelation can really change the looks of the battles.. So Oracles have their prolonged usage though, despite not being a fighter unit.. Oracle still has at least some minimal (though it was shown quite a few times that minimal revelation role can really be pivital to the matchups as well) use after the beginning stages of the game | ||

Here's the idea I mentioned in another thread some time ago: "Regarding Hydralisk, I think that it would be much better to buff their anti air range and/or HP, not DPS. Perhaps something like this: Air attack range increased from 5 to 6. (becomes 7 after range upgrade) HP increased from 80 to 90.

MSC vision range nerf affects Blink rushes considerably. This is pretty much exactly how I feel about the hydra change too. I dislike the attack speed change because it affects the micro ability of the unit. At least they are trying to fix the hydra and I like the WM and MSC changes, looking forward to seeing how everything plays out. | ||
