Bio vs Templar play is going to be so entertaining to watch, but it seems that as protosses now we need to adapt and start spreading chargelots instead of just a moving them. hydralisk buff seems ok but some strategies like heavy voidray production into late storm or blink stalker/sentry into anything would become much weaker, as well as most of the 2 base allins. MSC vision nerf was needed, the unit has way too much utility and it allows for really powerful aggro plays and defensive plays too.


Well, the fact that mass void ray even works vs mass hydra kind of shows that hydras are a little too bad / void rays a little too good.


that's only if Zerg allows Protoss to sit back and make the critical amount of void rays, which only happens in the very late game in Korean pro matches. Hydras still destroy void rays in the early and mid game to keep the numbers low.
Remember our motto: We ain't got it.

msc vision nerf is a no-brainer, hydraliskbuff doesn't make too much sense imo and emplike widowmine sounds funny but not too drastic of a change probably. something concerning sh is missing.

Still not sure about the Vision (14->9 is M A S S I V E!!!!!!!! Blizzard why you no make small adjustments).

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

Bad timing for the patch, why not after Ro32 of WCS ? This will change so much right within T_T

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.

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.

The problem with blink has always been the timing, and that it transitions quite well into other techs which allows Toss to fake out what they are doing. 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.

I'm very pleased that they are going through with the Widow mine change. Think this will be so refreshing for TvP.

Good changes all round imo.

I hope I didnt come off as against it, but yes that is the point of the nerf. 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,
Terran Race is best Race
