They'd become really active units that way! I wouldn't be against trying out a lower life time for locusts so that there is at least a small period of downtime between wave spawns to try and make some move | ||

The terrible effect on the pro scene helps the game feel fresh and entertaining for the viewers. One of the main issue of Blizzard's handling of the game is how scared they are to change stuff. If players can't adapt, it's really only their fault. And if patch come out often enough for it to not become stale, then there isn't any issue of " healthy pro scene ". | ||

By the same logic though all floating terran structures should then be able to be abducted because Vipers can currently abduct massive units | ||

The unit shouldn't be nerfed per say, but it should be redesigned to promote the multipronged SH style with constant repositioning. The change to the spore crawler and the Hydra is needed though. | ||

o There are downsides -- Abduct is a really cool ability, and it is something Zerg needs vs. Colossi in PvZ. Abilities with no remicro options are cool ???? I guess that's why David Kim is also a big fan of Force Fields. | ||

Does blinding cloud negate swarm host attacks? That could work because it would reduce their usage in battle and would force players to continuously re mobilize them around the map in order to harass and snipe bases. Not sure if these ideas are any good as I only watch SC in my free time but never play anymore | ||

No. It makes the game feel stupid because winners are determined by which race figures Patch 178.7.10 out faster than the opposition. That's dumb. I'll quickly stop watching if that becomes the case. You can't blame the players when they have to deal with a changing environment constantly. The difference between RTS and DotA is that the former requires development and actual strategies, well thought-out moves etcetera. The latter is mostly about communication and clutch actions in the 15 seconds of fame. Lastly, if the patches come that fast, there is no proscene to have issues. | ||

Because the Protoss issue goes much deeper and forces rebalancing of half the matchups in the game. | ||

These are not the Bnet forums lol I can tell you a particular F1 car is not good enough, i can't tell you how to actually build a better one. One is capable of identifying problems without also bringing solutions. | ||

For reference, watch the game Impact just played vs Trimaster in the ATC. Now imagine that game without abduct on the BCs. | ||

That could work because it would reduce their usage in battle and would force players to continuously re mobilize them around the map in order to harass and snipe bases. Not sure if these ideas are any good as I only watch SC in my free time but never play anymore 50 supply would be a bad number. Also, that kind of limit makes no sense whatsoever. For the MSC, having 1, makes reasonable sense. What do we set the limit at? Why? How? | ||
