It's just mostly annoying being blind hard-countered every TvZ because the Zerg knows exactly what you'll be doing, scouting or not (and they always get the early scouting to verify it anyway). I was really hoping for a stim research time buff to allow more varied TvZ openings and open punishment against Zergs who currently just wander their overlords into the base with the expectation they're completely safe. Going marine-first hampers scouting, which is critically important due to the fragility of Terran's currently viable openings. As for TvP, I think it just makes WMs more annoying for Protoss and shuts down Templar styles even more, rather than really addressing a lot of the early game cheese Protoss can throw at the Terran. I see Terrans continuing to dread early game, while Protoss have more reason to complain about Terran drops on top of a whole tech option getting shut down. Bleh. | ||

Edit: It'd probably help more in mech compositions, too. | ||

 In think the mine buff is good, but Blizz needs to adjust the damage vs Protoss shields. | ||

Changing a few things to the MSC won't break pvp......TVP is need of a dire change. Warp in takes away defenders advantage so in PvP the Msc helps stop the 4gate vs 4gate scenario every game. The duration of the Photon Overcharge helps defend a cycle of warp-ins and stablizes the matchup so it can be macro-orientated. It is a horribly designed bandaid solution though. | ||

Is going to be ridiculous either when it hits the zerg or it hits the terran with friendly fire. Let alone mention how it will completely wreck Protoss armies with the stupid +shields damage LOL agreed. gas first WM drops = RIP 30 PROBES  A more reasonable change is to decrease friendly fire DMG or completely remove it | ||

Terran, however we feel that this type of mid-game buff also carries over into a late game buff. Great feeling but no, nothing carries over. The main problem is that Terran doesn't even want it to go to late game since their army composition is lackluster. Buffing the splash radius is a completely early/mid game buff. and hopefully increase micro opportunities against the spell. How about removing it completely if you want to increase micro opportunities? Also wheres the tank buffs?? edit: Going to be great fun to watch those WM shots killing workers to create some hype around nothing micro'd. | ||

Changes nothing for TvP (unless mech gets big anytime soon) but with mech being more viable in TvZ and armories more common, the +1/2/3 weapons upgrade is actually researched and gives widow mines more presence late game. Widow mines have weapon upgrades? I thought it only applied to the armor, the splash effect non-changing? EDIT: Yeah I don't see anywhere that weapon upgrade effects damage on the WM | ||

I don't know about the Thor change. It might make Roaches a lot stronger. Time Warp duration doesn't fix a damn thing. Why don't they actually fix the core problem in TvP? Can we get a real balance team and actually make good changes? Why is DK still in charge over there? He has no idea what he's doing. | ||

The duration of the Photon Overcharge helps defend a cycle of warp-ins and stablizes the matchup so it can be macro-orientated. It is a horribly designed bandaid solution though. I've always said that warp-ins cool down time should be based on distance from the gateway. It doesn't have to be a drastic increase in cooldown time, like an extra 7 seconds or something for a crossmap warp in. This would not only give PvP a defenders advantage, it would make doing large crossmap warp-ins a big riskier at all points in the game, and would make all-ins less potent as well. It would remove all need for the MSC. | ||

As for the Time Warp change, half duration, ehh I'm not sure, it's a really useful tool when holding off Z aggression, especially with the current Hydra attack speed. I don't get why we can't just have it as an upgrade in the Twilight Council, given that the main issue with it is it's early game potential with Blink and Blink is also Twilight tech. Put Time Warp there too, P has to choose what they'd rather have earlier, Blink or Time Warp. All in all, this doesn't address a damn thing about late game PvT. Terran will still have no late game tech choices that are effective against P. Nor does it address the scouting ability of T in the early game. | ||
