Hydras still destroy void rays in the early and mid game to keep the numbers low. | ||

Hydraspeed might fuck with PvZ, and maybe even ZvT, maybe makes the Hydra transition in roach v roach easier so we see more broodlord v broodlord :S | ||

Mothership Core vision decreased from 14 to 9 After testing, this change is turning out to be quite a bit of a nerf for Protoss in terms of early scouting. It also makes the army vs. army case a bit weaker for Protoss in terms of the vision the Mothership Core provides, especially when vision is critically needed, such as during Feedback vs. EMP battles. In all fairness, isn't that what observers are for? Will be interesting to see how the Widow Mine change works, on paper is sounds like they're attempting to find a way to facilitate mech vs P without the need to build ghosts, will have to see how it plays out. | ||

My god I think a lot of people dont grasp just how much site is gonna be lost. WIll make Blink all-ins much riskier to execute do to the MSC having to go into the actual danger zone to give site. 2. WM nerf will be a noce buff to terran harass. I loved doing WM drops in TvP anyway and hated them in PvT, so I think this change will make terran mid game much scaryier. The New WM's will also make roboless chargelot archon timings very risky and much easier to hold. 3. Hydra buff %&^$s all over my PvZ with diarrhea level potency. Gonna have to rethink how I play that match up. Over all should be a powerful patch. to #1 isnt that the point blink is crazy right now and seems like theres no risks to it at all and its an all in | ||

Observers and Revelation do this as well. | ||

It's not ever been the cooldown of the ability that was the problem. I'm so glad they decided not to change that. I think the MsC sight range nerf and widow mine buff vs shields will be sufficient to give Terrans better tools. I'm a tad worried that Templar openings are going to be a lot more difficult now with buffed mines, but we'll see. | ||

People bullshitting about widow mine drops... The drops will still be worse than before the mine radius change; which happened at a time mine drops were perfectly fine. So stop bringing them up as they are still less strong than they were. | ||

Now Shutting down the all-in via sniping the MSC is a realistic possibility and not a pipe dream bnet protoss players keep telling you to smoke. As a macro toss I'm cool with that, | ||
