Overlords already got a speed buff and are already decently fast. Buffing it more will just make aggression against zerg very, very hard.

Why buff the overlord's speed for scouting purposes where a mere 100/100 can grant zerg undisputed and safe early vision of the entire map and the opponent's base?
Enough with the random zerg buffs please.

Here we are and they still don't have the removal of the MSC figured out. And at this point they won't be able to do it with the test map. People's interest in the test server has evaporated and finding high level partners is problematic. We just don't get enough data to even tell for certain if new changes are the correct ones.

You're forcing every protoss player to literally relearn entirely new ways to play the game. To compensate for this you should provide a crutch to help with the process. Something which will help the race maintain it's footing and can be reverted later.

I do believe after six months of live data the team will have these changes balanced. The problem is we know for certain which race will under achieve during those six months and that's wrong.

Early game scouting is easier, let's you see those pesky cheeses quicker. Pretty self explanatory stuff, it's just a nice boost that fits the speed of LotV a little better

The problem with overlord scouting is actually that the vertical distance (shortest distance between home bases) on most maps these days is too large. It is NOT an issue with overlord speed, which you can make insanely fast for a cheap upgrade. If you want a large map, just make the horizontal distances larger.

Even making the map like Pac-man would be a better fix than increasing base overlord speed.

Oh wait, are you the Snaro who incessantly bitches about Terran in every twitch chat I've seen? The guy who could pass as avilo if avilo played Protoss?

In that case, I'm delighted that you disagree. Now if you agreed, then I'd be worried.....

All changes look good to me.

The amount of whining against Z is ridiculous. A minor change in speed of overlords which allows the overlords to arrive at the opponent's base a bit faster. It is harmless in general and people whine excessively about it. But then when Blizzard decided to buff the Thor extra +1 armor for no reason, Terran downplayed it as nothing. You guys are the simply the "best".

How many times will you edit that post ?

And come on, don't tell me you ever take this twitch chat seriously. I'm already subbed to Avilo, the irony for a Protoss who supposedly "hates" Terran right ? (I know, I should get a ban just for that)


Anyway, 3 nerfs to 1 unit in 1 patch, that's a first. Not sure if Protoss is the race that should be nerfed in PvZ IF there was one race to be nerfed.

Classic introduces mass oracle and PvZ winrates normalize to 50%, better nerf it so we go back to 43% again

I've never seen you anywhere besides Twitch chat, what am I supposed to go off? As far as first impressions on TL go, you haven't exactly impressed either.

A known Protoss whiner starts whining on TL. Gee, I wonder what the response will be.

If you want to change peoples' minds, you have to make an effort.

You are the one who can't be taken seriously, and you even confirm that, what the heck?

About the changes they look nice, I enjoyed a lot playing Protoss, it reminds me of the old nice WoL days, like WhiteRa taught us "We expand then defend", not "Expand and YOLO, get Pylons and 1 MotherCore".
I am worried about the Adept vision change tho... but since Mother Core is not a problem anymore I think they will be "Ok" and not needing a nerf (even if most players start abusing them for All In again)

Also something I noticed is Stalkers are now again a way to go for All In or at least early pressure since Blink is still good and Upgrades give +2, scout will be even more important than before for all races and I understand the Zerg change because of that.

The only think I disliked is the nerf to Stasis Wards... I don't know, why do they need to put a nerf to its time? It is almost like Creep IMO, you set it there and unless your enemy don't try to clear it up it's your map vision and your tool to play with, I don't care about the Stasis Ward not affectinv Larvae but I hate it getting a timing on it and it is not really large, since you spam it when your Oracles can't harass and has full enegy, but bow it will be worthless and you need to start the cast of them when you see your enemy moving... so they arrive and you don't have energy for Pulsar Beam lol

This is all talk about the Testmap, which prepares the next major patch.
The Mothershipcore got removed, so Pylon overcharge is gone. Chrono uses energy again. We get shield battery, Stalkers play different. Disruptors got changed (not really viable yet imo). Collossi becomes more of a hard counter against light units. With these suggested changes oracles get fixed.

Nicest for protoss is, that widowmines now are visible while they reload

Patch probably hits after Blizzcon, if you wanna check SC2 out again, that be a good time.

WM will be dead in TvT too, the nerf is a bad idea, protoss try to open without obs, i dont know why terran should be nerf.

When we talk about storm they say "ghost", well so, wm -> obs.

TvZ is hard nowadays but with this underpowered WM it will be even harder.
