What's the difference? They should just give an alert to notify them that their opponent can't see their skin so I can really feel good about it. add it to announcer packs so you can let your opponent know in the voice of your favorite caster | ||

If they offer an advantage, everyone is free to use them. Do you want to ban mechanical keyboards or fast cpus because they offer an advantage, too? And btw, I'd appreciate skins that made a real difference, like ghosts being (nearly) undistinguishable from marines but marauders thor-sized, for example. My next step would then be to let the skins actually modify the units, like marines with miniguns that have doubled rate of fire but tanks with reduced range. Give just five of these to each race and you've got a ton of new exciting matchups. | ||

I think the argument here is that people are saying skins are a very very slight "pay 2 win" but once you figure the skins out it's not going to be a problem so yeah... I don't think it's a big deal at all and for your 2nd paragraph that obviously can't work in a competitive environment haha, could be fun though for casual play | ||

As zerg: The stalker weapon is now way too powerful. Please turn the buff into an upgrade. Also, I don't like having to build a separate lurker den. As terran: The +56% area fungal buff is ridicuous. It turns the most unskilled fungal into an excellent one. Also, thanks to raven and mine redesign, I now have zero AOE attackers except tank. As protoss: Liberator vision nerf didn't go far enough. Also, I want nexus overcharge back. | ||

Otherwise it might well increase the chance for build order wins (which viewers seem to dislike). | ||

While we're at it, can queens get semi-auto-inject? Not that all queens always inject on their own, but if you manually inject a queen at a hatch once, it will inject again once the timer is elapsed unless told something else (i.e. moved away, attacked something etc.) | ||

I think the following changes are needed as soon as possible. 1) Add 20 seconds to the build time of Stargates 2) Add 30 seconds to the blink stalker research time. 3) Reduce the radius of fungal growth. 4) Make shield batteries either heal slower or cost more resources. | ||

Lmfao. 5) Buff mech, amirite? | ||

Seeing it gone and proper chronoboost back makes me legitimately want to play the game again for the first time since the launch of LOTV. That stuff combined with the colossus buff makes it feel like they might be going a bit toward a more solid, almost Wings of Liberty style for Protoss rather than a bunch of units with a bunch of spells like Protoss has felt like in LOTV. I probably will at least play some unranked tonight, if not get into ranked again. I've been thinking about playing SC2 again and jumping in at this patch seems like a good time to do so. | ||

You might wanna focus on a battle that you can win, like making sure that Blizzard does not release skins that are hard to see/actively confusing to players. They are never going to let you turn skins off. | ||

Basically, you want Protoss to be unplayable. | ||
