EPTDrops disappearing from TvP after early-game isn't without reasons. (yes, it's not only buffed obs but also recall ). Btw we see more drops after an oracle play than after a robo opening, because at least, oracle let the opponent know he is being revealed.

Maybe slightly - you can get obs into spotting positions a little more quickly, so you'll be prepared a bit earlier, and you'll be able to replace sniped obs a bit faster. But yeah, not the most impactful change in that regard. | ||

XD Gonna have to ask you to cite that please. I might have asked people to give it some time, which I think was perfectly reasonable. I certainly also remember myself saying that a marauder buff was a reasonable idea to counter better stalkers once it became obvious they were too strong at the time, and it was never explored before stalkers just got nerfed again. Either way, I've made actual arguments as to why blink all-ins won't be affected much by these changes. Address the arguments instead of some image you have of me. | ||

I think this is one of the arguments that triggers me the most and the easiest way to spot below diamonds players. I don't even know what to start with. Maybe if you really think that a terran bio army, fully upgraded (so, 3/3, stim, shield and so on) heavily supported by medivacs, tanks (or widow mines) is a T1 army, then it's even worse than I thought. We can even add that starcraft isn't all about the tiers but about the counters, so technically all units can counter an other in a specific situation. It's not a tier based game. And when it is, well, nobody likes it, when for example the protoss max out on a deathball or on skytoss and you are mostly going to lose because this army comp is very hard to counter. I could even say that if you think it's normal for ultralisks to completely destroy the bio comp of the terran player, then I would like to have a huge buff on thors to make them able to counters lings, after all, lings are T1 units and are countering my T3 unit. And if possible, buff the bc aswell because I don't understand how it is possible for queens to counter it, they are T1 units aswell right ? Enough of this, bio is already doing pretty bad in lategame against zerg, and well, the ultralisk super buff was all but needed. It's not like zerg was getting wrecked all the time in lategame against bio. | ||

Obs are faster in position, good protoss frequently change obs position a bit (for example to cut the drop path after terran move back ), and obs will be harder to kill now = more obs alive. So maybe not as much as an impact as hold-position obs, but still significant. | ||

If this patch goes live we should put TvP on strike and free-quit every 1v1 ladder game vs toss. Toss players will loose nothing, because getting all-ined every single game not that fun too. | ||
