This is the kind of thing noone at Diamond 1 or higher would care about either way (i don't care that protoss gets this QoL improvement, it doesn't really make their race easier to play or harder for me to face), but makes the game greatly less frustrating for the casual player base. If you suggest good QoL improvements for other races that don't overpower them (no auto-creep spread or auto-muling) I'm sure Blizz will consider it. In fact the reason they reverted chrono boost was because it was too much of a QoL improvement. best qol change ever would be to let Terran select which side of the building the addon builds on if they have only one building selected, no more lost reactor to Allin cause spawned on wrong side of map. | ||

Agreed, this is a much needed QoL improvement for terran, it's too much RNG impact in a game like starcraft and changes building placement logic drastically just switching sides on the same map! I would be ok even if instead of letting you choose, it automatically chose the corner facing the terran's start location (so towards bottom left if you spawn bottom left, to top right if you spawn top right), that way it should always be inside your starting ramp and natural wall-in. This could also not require any unnecessary building UI for add-ons from having to choose. | ||

Yeah ravager rush is going to be much stronger agian, so will proxy hatch. might make this really strong in the meta in maps with shorter rush distances. | ||

Its actually way better than the current cyclone, its only downside is that it something else for buffer but WP, oracles, immortals, roaches and ravagers (at least rushed) melted to cyclone without ever catching them. Not for nothing it was nicknamed the terran MsC. In tvp and tvt yeah, in tvz it really was not that great unless you built a ton of them. I think this may have a larger than anticipated effect on terran's Allin defense in tvz, it also removes the punishing followups terran had vs Zerg allins you can't counter Allin with cyclones any more nor can you do a ton of dmg with tank drop harass to punish an Allin Zergs lack of creep. I might be wrong on this but it is a concern. | ||

I think I mostly appreciate the other changes, with the exception of the Hydralisk nerf. I would greatly prefer the very slight HP nerf to the DPS nerf, as I would like for them to emphasize the fragility of the unit, which is part of what makes Hydras unique in SC2. There's a bunch of reasons against bringing back the goliath, the main ones being: - its role overlaps a ton with both the thor and the viking - mutas are already bad - it doesn't solve any of the core problems that mech faces in SCII | ||

If you had like 8 cyclones and Protoss started building disruptors suddenly you sat there with 32 supply that could not be used any more due to disruptor shots. I think people are nostalgic about the cool micro you could do with the old cylones (and you could) but forget how easily Protoss made your cyclones dead supply. | ||
