Maybe because I dont really have played mines in tvp often, but I watched some Rotterdam stream today and he said something like "sometimes it does nothing but sometimes it can be game-winning". In wich cases is the mine buff game winning? Drop into eco? edit: thanks for the gif, that looks good! First time Terrans got Oracle answer and protosses whining? | ||

But now the round of 8 of every major tournament will be a contest between the top 4 zergs and the top 4 terrans. A lot of protoss pros will be out on the street soon enough and the constant TvZ will get boring  . Oh well, good changes overall. Really wanted the blink nerf to get through, really seal the deal and kill any hope protoss will now have of winning anything. really dude? a bit of vision nerf on the msc and protoss is "done" ??? just goes to show that any nerf for any race will prompt people into thinking there race is done for. | ||

Reducing sight range and duration is like taking a Ferrari, putting Volkswagon Beetle rims on it, and saying "look now it's not a fast car." I would argue even 30 seconds from 50 seconds Photon Overcharge still wouldn't change anything. Disbanding Terran's initial attack by right clicking on a building and throwing off timing pushes is just silly. Nothing in this patch leads to any early harassment capabilities for Terran - this is a simple playstyle/timing shift for Protoss; 2 base blink will just become more common once obs are out. They didn't nerf overcharge because the 60-second version is pretty much mandatory to not make PvP retarded. 30-second PO makes it literally impossible to ever expand in PvP. | ||

It got delayed for Europe, wont be up until after WCS tonight. i dont see the point .. anyway there are still 2 more groups next week why do they wait for tonight ... Is there a way to talk to David Kim ?? Cause i don't really understand if he is clearly incompentent or what is his purpose on this game but when i see Pvt i find the MU completly ridiculous in term of required skills on toss side... and even i watched some PvZ where Z is clearly more skilled (solar vs Arthur) and the toss just abuse the completly broken OP toss game design and Z has just no chance, ridiculous... It is really getting ridiculous seriously it's pain full to watch, caster just cant explain what happen "toss just OP" .... The patch won't be enough .. all the game design should be reviewed , you can have the most deadly OP army and so many way to haras or all in .. The worst is that all noob toss all in or abusive play can work even if scouted and well defended, and WORST, if it doenst win instant, the fails all in absolutly did not put them behind ... Silly | ||

I can't find that, if anyone has a link to that I'd be much appreciated. That was my thread. Here you go: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=443178 | ||

Mines are quite useful against chargelot ht archon but it's not as big as I thought it would be. There were still a few games where it is late on bunker for 5 seconds and loses a lot to a zealot stalker poke. It looked like bad protoss can't use blink stalker timing as easily but good protoss can still play as if there was no nerf. Of cause time will tell whether it is true or not but I find it a bit surprising overall. | ||
