This difference amounts to a lot of build time over a course of any game. It doesn't make a difference over the course of a game unless you are supply blocked each and every time. Even then it total ups to like 30-45 seconds. | ||

Although, I don't know why that makes Overlord build time shorter as well (OL and Supply depot are equal build times in BW, while pylon is slightly faster). This has to be the only plausible explanation for the original design. Though considering changes made to curtail the early rax cheese, this seems to be a relic of the past design. Similarly, why is a reactor build time (36 seconds) twice that of a tech lab (18 seconds)? My guess is that its also a relic of past design from the slower WOL and HOTS era. The basis for a lot of these memes/troll responses is "whataboutism" - didn't realize TL shares a lot of viewers with FOX news  . | ||

With one building it's not a big deal, but sometimes you just want to build 5 or 10 of something and not have half of your mineral line gone. | ||

Depots are only burrowed to BF1 while infestors and roaches are at BF2, the same depths as the counterweights for raised depots. | ||
