Then don't participate in this thread. The rest of what you wrote isn't worth responding to if you truly believe that people shouldn't be forming opinions based on what Blizzard release. If Blizzard don't want us to comment then they can stop releasing updates and just make us wait for the finished product. Whilst they continue announcing terrible changes I will continue to call them terrible.

Guys, great idea here. Regardless what blizzard does, what if we made our own maps and did something like this:

Since gold minerals mine faster and workers gather more per trip, and therefor for the same econ we need less workers and more bases.

What if as a standard we mixed gold and blue minerals in a set % so that we need less workers to saturate? And to compensate for the fact that they mine faster, what if we gave them all X% more per crystal so that they would mine out the same speed as the blue minerals? And to compensate for the extra minerals per base, what if we reduced the overall crystal chunks or overall reduced the percentage of the entire (8) cluster to even out to the normal 1500 or 1000 minerals count aka 9000 or 6000 total?

Would something like this be feasible?



This extra income early game, would also address the other issue of boring early game where everyone is just making workers. So we wouldn't need to start with 12 workers anymore, the game would start moving along faster, and rush strats would be less effected by the changes.

"The Barrier ability combined with the new ranged pick up from Warp Prisms has been too difficult to defend against without having air units"

Could it ever occur to you ranged pick up is retarded ?

Telling people not to discuss something isn't conductive to any discussion. Nor is acting as if people aren't capable of putting the pieces together based on what Blizzard say they're doing and what we already know about the game.

If Blizzard post what they're testing then people are going to form opinions. It's a simple concept. If you don't want to participate then don't read this thread and stop posting in it.

Yeah, this; except perhaps for Zerg, where both the Lurker and the Ravager can be nice.

Based on what?

I'm not saying to not discuss anything. I'm saying noone is qualified to call anything fun or exciting, nor terribly designed. Your reading comprehension seems about as solid as your critical thinking and reasoning skills.

See, unlike you, I'm not arrogant enough to consider myself omniscient when it comes to how dozens of changes and brand new maps and units are going to play out. I'm fine with people speculating - but that's all it is - mere speculation.

It's going to change. Just wait until we can play it though, before claiming the sky is falling and the game is terrible. That helps absolutely noone at all.

Based on the fact that making every Protoss unit able to blink is downright stupid. The numbers need heavy tweaking if they really want to go through with it, I don't care how fun it looks if it's broken -and I play toss. Overall it feels like a very poor idea.

Infestor ability removal + add?
Aggressive Mutation was only really effective when combined with Zerglings, due to the fact that ability provides a flat damage buff. At the same time, we also didn’t want to make a general upgrade that just generally buffs all Zerg ground units. If we feel that the buff its providing Zergling damage is needed and is good for the late game, we can just buff their Tier 3 attack speed upgrade. Therefore, we’re looking for other areas where the Infestor can be utilized.

What if disruptors instead did a sort of DoT attack. Where it sort of delayed their current ability, or segmented it.

Same exact cooldown , speed, invuln, and damage, just instead of activate and gets 3 second of speed and invuln before 1 big explode. It would do 1 sec of speed and invuln, explode for 1/3 damage, .5 second normal, 1 sec of speed and invuln, explode for 1/3 damage, .5 second normal, 1 sec of speed and invuln, explode for 1/3 damage.

So it sort of stutter steps and explodes as it does it. This is a soft nerf to the burst damage so that units can be microed a bit more safely/reliably.

Mothership Core’s Photon Overcharge ability now hits both ground and air again.
Because of the resource changes we’re currently testing, Protoss is most impacted as they’re the ones that struggle the most with taking additional bases. We felt this nerf was no longer needed because to this.
