Right now 16 workers is most efficient, while 24 is maximum saturation. In LotV 12 workers will be most efficient while 16 is maximum saturation. So you start the game with perfect saturation for one mineral line, but not the maximum. | ||

Disruptor feels as crazy as the replicator was in terms of lack of balance viability. 4 second invulnerability + AoE explosion... match that with the new distance pick-up of the warp prism, and you have absurd drops; welcome hellbat drops 2.0! I expect Blizzard will implement some some major revisions to the unit going forward. I think 4-second invulernability is bad as well as it takes away from micro-diversity. Then it's always gonna be like this: Disruptor comes in --> enemy splits --> self-destructs. Baneling micro is more diverse as you can both target fire and split vs it. Moreover, I don't believe that toss needs an AOE damage ability as that (micro wise) overlaps with Psy Storm. It wouldn't surprise me if this unit received another overhaul before release. | ||

I imagine a lot of people wouldn't give a flying fuck, like with the HotS Changes map that came out over 2 years ago and that was before the HotS closed beta. | ||

If 12 was optimal, then that means there are 6 patches (as opposed to the 8 now), in which case 18 would be maximum and not 16. | ||

Blizzard is already printing money off of Hearthstone and WoW with Heroes of the Storm coming out soon as well. Why do they NEED to do that with Starcraft also? Because Blizzard is a business and after a certain point they won't update the game if they're not making a lot of cash, or, given that they're paying people to manage it, operating at a loss. | ||

Yeah I guess so too, I'm OK with people having fun with the units as they were announced, but this is useless. | ||

That's crazy.I'm not so sure if I agree with that. I do agree with requiring less workers to optimally and fully saturate a base though. It encourages people to actually upgrade to 4 and 5 base economies and seriously macro up and multitask. | ||

That just can't be right. Or maybe they are also reducing build time of bases by like 50% or so. | ||

Might make the game easier, bringing more players in. Being one of those not-worker-making players between 2000 and 2003, I think it's a fabulous idea. | ||

Nope, it was just designed to skip the boring-as-fuck first few minutes of every game, which everyone, their grandmother and even most of the casters spend on twitter/TL/farming in WoW... | ||
