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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

So yes we will have to see. We just wont see with our overlords. 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 | ||

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 ? | ||
