Can you share the math behind this calculation please?

There you go:

12 Supply workers in construction.

12 Supply workers get out of cocoon.

This in my opinion is one of the biggest issues with the 12 worker thingy, how it affects scouting not only for Zerg players, but for the other races as well, not to mention that the way it affects early game shenanigans, the early game dead time is an important part of Starcraft.


Could you please explain how what the pictures show is bad for the game?

Common sense suggests that if Overlords scout later, things that Overlords need to scout come later, too... so the net result is the same. You might be disproving that, but I don't follow.


Sorry but isn't it the complete opposite? 12 worker start => rushes and opponent's units come out faster, while overlord is still lagging behind at the base

It also implies the natural will be done sooner etc
I think we will have to sit and see how it goes.

ach the overlord delay on that first scout looks pretty horrible. guess we'll just have to use a drone now, for the initial look around. which is fair enough i guess.

I also don't see what is the big problem with this, some of the pros use Drone scout already and I guess this will just become new standard.

Your natural will not be done sooer relative to your oponents state. Your Overlord is just going to be late. In hots on some 2p maps the OL will be around his natural by the time his marine comes out. In lotv he will be in the middle of the map(a little bit further on the opponents side) meaning he wont reach the natural safely.
Ofcourse this depends alot on the maps and the opener people choose.
So yes we will have to see. We just wont see with our overlords.

Yup. The 12worker is amazing because it allows you to send a drone out immidiatly wihout big economic drawback. Proxy barracks will now have to rely on the opponent not scouting at all.
Also the random part of 3-5spawn maps gets decreased if you can scout from the get go but people still have to open with depot/pylon. Early pooling is weaker because 12pool still only produces 6zerglings but the opponent now has many more workers to fight them.

It's an amazing change and headstarts the game out of the phase where playing blind is on average better than playing strategically well.

Which is, again, not the point. They weren't trying to show a balanced game at all, they were trying to show new units.

The more interesting question is: Can the Cyclone design improve the game or is it just overall bad design and can never be done right? Thats what you should try to answer. Saying "it's imba" doesn't do anything.

The WH was an a-move unit. They cyclone is not. The core is the design, the stats can be adjusted. U don't have to worry about anything regarding the cyclone's stats.
Random is hard work dude...

Of cause, but having the base sooner means you can prepare reactively easier as well.
I know what you are saying though, but a change like this big may just reset the meta and define a new "standard" opening

I guess i always found my first overlord the most useful for scouting. Without that I guess he'll just hang out at the base, pretending to be a supply depot with all the other brains :D

It seems that the marauder has been changed too. Nathanias said on his stream that they now have reduced damage but hit twice. It also does less damage to armored. He said they're much better at breaking through PPDs now but zealots are harder to kill.


Seems like a straight up nerf vs toss. I guess this is why Collosus also was nerfed probably.

But not sure I like this, since I always felt that the real issue with toss in the midgame lied with protoss and not terran. Toss is weaker than both terran and zerg, and therefore I would have preferred that terran bio and zerg was maintained in army strenght, but toss was "buffed".


How was Collosus changed ?
Parting: Well, even I can make better maps than these.

The range was reduced from 9 to 8 iirc

Isn't their design philosophy to just create really cool units, then strip them of all the joy and impact they might have, making them pretty bland in the process? Just asking
