the lurker burrow speed upgrade is insane lol
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

I like the direction, but everything needs extensive testing and it remains to be seen how much still needs changing.

I doubt it will be a problem as they are nerfing the fungal from bad to garbage.

hopefully they drop the patch right after Group B in GSL so half the Ro16 and the rest of the tournament can be played on a different patch

It is definitely for 2018.

The biggest problems seem to be the MULE nerf, the photon overcharge removal and the infestor change. Especially terran and protoss seem to be fucked now, terran can't keep up with economy anymore and how is protoss supposed to defend early attacks now? Infestor change just makes them useless.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

The point of fungal isn't the damage, it's allowing other zerg units to connect onto terran units. It isn't as effective off creep, but will still accomplish its job fairly easily and on creep its radius is even bigger than before. Late game TvZ isn't an air army for the terran, and still won't be after these changes, so the impact on the matchup of the infestor changes is a net buff for zerg I think.

I cannot believe my eyes. Removing the MSC is amazing, and I've dreamed of it for so long as a Protoss player. And the Widow Mine change, and everything else, amazing.

I think I am going to be a Starcraft player again! David Kim going was exactly what this game needed.

these changes look very positive :O it seems to bring structure to the game that you can play with, I like it, and gets rid of quite a lot of bad stuff to turn them into smtg potentially quite good, less volatile etc
I want to say when I played WoL, a major problem in the core design of P for me was the overlap between HT and colossus. It removed a lot of meaning in the choice of cita or robo, because colo and HT brought smtg too similar to the army power, so it seemed more straightforward to chose one or the other depending on the match up.
The stalker change should make a lot of good difference, wish they would remove zealot charge because I still can't see how it doesn't make the unit less interesting to play than without a charge (and more speed to make up for it, or would it need anti-stun/movement impairment effects??^^). It's a fully engage and let go / fully don't engage and leave, binary, with little micro follow ups. But there are many changes to talk about in there, including to units I never played with. Most/all of these just sound good and well justified to me.

Terran Ground stronger. Terran Air Weaker. Terran with better Ground-To-Air attacks.

Half these changes are very good (economy, removal of MSCore, native cloack on ghost, upgrade for cyclone AA even if it seems a little weak)

Half these changes are completely and insanely stupid. 15-21 damage on the stalker is insane. 180 parasitic bomb is insane. "can't move but more vision" obvserver and overseers + autoattack on high templar is a F2-friendly bullshit.)

"i should be able to F2 amove my entire colossi HT stalker force without disrupting my observer placement and so that my high templars are never badly positionned !"

Also 100 energy recall on nexus? That means the more bases protoss gets, the more they'll be able to just run into your economy with entire armies before recalling. Such an insane ability must have a shared cooldown.

for now changes seem interesting but totally unbalanced. protoss effectively removed with no defence from early pressure(zerg t1 drops, no medivac stim pushes). PvP will become Phoenix x Phoenix again(PLZ NO). Nerf to protoss economy for more interesting boost? not sure if its good.

BUT I wellcome with open hands TO mothership recall( thank Aiur, i was praying for this almost as hard as for dark blink)
