Nah seriously I hope the 12 workers thing is just for the alpha. It just sounds unnecessary and dumb as a permanent change. The other changes looks cool for P and Z (no colossus removal though, hope it gets a rework). However I feel like T changes sucks a bit, I'm not sure if a mobile mech unit is going to help mech, and a melee unit feels kinda strange. | ||

It's more likely to make players focussed on defending their new bases as they cannot afford to invest additionally ressources into offensive. If you think mech or toss is passive/boring now, then it's only gonna be a lot worse with 12 max saturation. Starting with 12 workers is however a good change that paces of the period where "nothing" happens. Out expanding beyond 3 base vs 3 base exists again. This is the biggest myth in the history of Sc2. Look at BW TvZ or PvZ. Terran stays at 2 bases for like 20 minutes. Given this logic, these matchups should be absolutely terrible, but they weren't. Now look at your average Sc2 game. Do you ever see someone staying infitnitely long on 3 bases (I am taking 10+ mins here?). No you dont, becasue you build the 4th as you start mining out on your main and/or if you want to have more than 6 geysers. It's important to understand that 12 max saturation forces players into taking extra bases while BW was about rewarding, but economies still benefited from up to like 28 workers (or something like that). It's completely different concepts and has completley different effects on the gameplay. | ||

Protoss: Warp prism looks cool but unnecessary if you can micro well. Oracle's new ability could be good if you can choose to manually trigger, otherwise looks like you'll only hit 1-2 units with it. Carrier change is interesting but unclear what exactly it means and what the micro limitations are. The rest looks like some pretty brutal and unnecessary nerfs. Zerg: Corruptor looks terrifying. Mass corruptor is already great vs air and gives literally no fucks about ground units, now it's basically WoL Void Rays on Crack. Infestor's new ability is cool. Swarm host is still good defensively because you now need to back up when locusts spawn, you can't fight. They'll probably get more kills each wave now but it might change the unit role a bit. Nydus worm is stupid as fuck in PvZ and I can't see it getting past beta. Unless you open gateway first, you basically will auto-lose every game to nydus rushes. Protoss basically patched out of the game, terran will probably dominate the beta as usual, especially with a heavily buffed mech. I expect lots of changes to this by the end of beta. Don't think any of the new units will need to disappear completely though. | ||

I suspect you will be able to see them the same way you can see burrowed infestors or observers. In that case friendly fire will get you far I think. And even if they aren't attackable during that stage completely, it's not like they have a ton of HP or are free... | ||

I think the skill ceiling goes way up with all these changes, nothing is "we added a unit that moves fast and shoot." So even if the units change, i hope the direction remains which is create options that allow the skilled players to get the most out of their units and show off some amazing play. There is a lot of good here, more bases = more action. Units that break up the death ball more, and units that reward micro. All good stuff. If you haven't, watch the gameplay videos as they at least show what some of these changes look like. | ||

In the videos they say these changes "are on the table". And we all know what this means: They can be scrapped just each day without a notice by bliz. | ||
