I'd trade the queen nerf for a nydus change. | ||

In its current form it just feels awful because you get the feeling that the worm supply is never-ending and especially in conjunction with swarm hosts it feels like the first time you mess up the game completely spirals out of control with basically no hope of recovery. Swarm host is fine, but its just a painful unit to deal with. Its made to make your death painful and slow. | ||

I think SH without nydus aren't game breaking but the combination is just no fun to watch or play against. | ||

I fail to see how after Protoss gets a significant late game buff in the High Templar and the Queen got nerfed which is a significant nerf for the entire game in addition to the Baneling nerf, that Protoss is still complaining. These are the biggest changes I've seen for a single match up in a LONG time. The fact people are saying "it's not enough" without testing them is frankly laughable. | ||

How is it going to make PvT more difficult if you open robo first? | ||

Really like the queen and bane changes. The bane change is huge and I think that might actually tip the scales for once since I feel like Terran will finally be able to hold their fourth easier. But even if that's the case, I think we'd all rather that they address the matchup with other tools and keep the baneling in its nerfed state. I'm kind of skeptical about the battery overcharge but it's so hard to predict its strength, just based on numbers alone. I'm also wondering how strong the visual indication is, is it something the opponent can recognise really quickly and snipe off? | ||

Also good luck to ladder players defending mines, haha. Seems odd how Blizzard does these sweeping changes all at once, instead of incremental tweaks. | ||

I think you underestimate how deep in a hole Protoss is in ZvP. Infested terrans got removed leading people to think skytoss is viable? Oh it turns out zerg can still deal with it very easily. Nydus/Swarmhost looks crushing against Protoss each time we see it (and is mostly untouched by this patch), and yet it doesn't get played that often since ling/bane/ravager can overrun Protoss with less effort currently. I do think the changes to creep tumors/baneling and queens are significant. But also that terran is so much better placed to exploit them currently--to the point that I'm not sure how Blizzard can balance both ZvP and ZvT. | ||
