EPTI don't mind the strong stalker, it's blink and chrono that are the big problems.
And why the fuck auto-turret? Give terran a lategame with no cancerous mass raven caster vs caster shit plz. Why not just add the BC to the game?

You are correct. 1.87 is in Blizzard time, and 1.87 Blizzard seconds == 1.34 real seconds. Currently the attack period is 2.16 Blizzard seconds, which equals 1.54 real seconds.

The past 3 weeks show PvZ is between 49-51%, very balanced. http://aligulac.com/periods/205/?page=1 http://aligulac.com/periods/206/?page=1 | ||

That's a resource cost of 850 just to get a drop. Protoss pays for Gateway, Cyber-core, Robo facility, and Warp Prism before drop. That's a similar resource cost. But zerg? 25/25 conversion of an already conveiniently placed cheap unit with just Spawning pool / Evo-Chamber? Comparing Droperlord to Medivack or imba Warprism...Seems legit. Maybe just try not to play incredible greedy as Protoss used to do in previous iteration, and actually have some units in your base? Scouting for overlord early is a feature to have too. Zerg must scout for proxy or cheese. I don't see argument against Protoss doing the same. | ||

Zerg must scout for proxy or cheese. I don't see argument against Protoss doing the same. Protoss has to play somewhat greedy vs zerg, or they have to allin, because middle ground builds just get run over by hydra bane timings. You either have to role over the zerg before they get there with an allin or you have to be ready for the eventuality of a hydra bane attack. because of this if your going for a macro strategy as protoss you have to cut alot of corners, that's fine most macro builds use some corner cutting but I think right now its a bit to coinflippy with zergling drops. Because protoss cant open with "safe builds" because safe builds are completely unsafe vs the hydra timing they have to flip the build selection coin and hope that they go macro builds when zerg isn't droping and allin builds when they are.This is not healthy for such a skill based RTS game where there is so much more that could go into a deciding the game rather than just a player either going aggressive, or not. I think this issue is compounded by the difficulty of scouting the zergling drop. theres alot of big windows in the matchup were protoss has no intel so that often they have to guess weather the drop is coming or not its fairly easy to mask a zergling drop build so protoss often struggle to know if its coming. Granted zerg is making a similar coin flip going this build, they usually cant both have a droperlord and overlord scout your whole base and hit the timing before you know its coming. But even if flipping a coin is 50/50 balanced I don't think its necessarily skill based and fun.This is just my masters level impression on the matter though, perhaps top protoss can consistently read an incoming drop build or defend it with units off just 1 or 2 gateways, but to my knowledge its unlikely vs a decent zerg player. Maybe in an odd way the hydra nerf will help with this problem since having the hydra timing hit a bit latter will allow protoss to open a bit more conservatively but still have hts and immortals in the right numbers to hold off the timing. Although this is contingent on the idea that hydra timings needs both upgrades to function, I'm not entirely sure that zerg wont just opt to skip range, or speed and do the same timing with half upgraded hydras, It may turn out that hydra speed or hydra range on its own suffices when it comes to the timing, but we will see. | ||

 .They just rolled it out, it's already live on NA and EU. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/7qv6y5/so_blizzard_patched_the_game_before_testing/ I asked Snute to confirm it on stream and see there, hydra upgrades are split, autoturrets back etc... | ||

They don't have to do a Community Update if they didn't change anything from the last, and balance changes don't come with patch notes unless they're rolled into a bigger patch anyway. But it is pretty out of nowhere. | ||

I like the new maps--Abiogenesis was the only 'good' rush map from the previous tlmc. | ||
