EPTAlso looks like Terran will have a weaker middle game against Protoss and an easier time in the late game which is nice.

Still not convinced this will make PvZ an entertaining matchup but SC2 is allowed to have one bad matchup. | ||

I do not play SC2 any more, mostly due to Protoss. But I still like watching the game, and nothing is more boring to watch than Protoss mass air. | ||

With the exception of the Queen nerf, which I believe is insufficient. It's by far considered the most imbalanced unit, and queen walks aren't the only reason for this. I don't see pro PvZ and TvZ becoming less Z favored if they don't further weaken the queen stats or abilities. | ||

Cannot agree more. RIP Protoss, the most nerfed race - again. | ||

I don't see pro PvZ and TvZ becoming less Z favored if they don't further weaken the queen stats or abilities. The queen nerf is going to have meaningful ramifications beyond just queen walks. It's not uncommon to see queens caught off creep at various times in ZvT/ZvP or brought in lategame during certain scenarios. This nerf hard punishes the former and limits the latter (requires good creep spread still very late in the game) | ||

Interested to see how things play out in the long run, assuming this is the last balance patch for at least one year, if not ever | ||

I don't think this is going to hurt Protoss air haha - though I really hope the VR nerf somehow introduces new Z timings. | ||

This nerf hard punishes the former and limits the latter (requires good creep spread still very late in the game) I recognize that the patch will not be completely useless, but I don't believe it will have a significant impact on the majority of the games. Hence it wouldn't really fix the core balance issues. Indeed, it doesn't take exceptional macro or micro skills to keep queens from wandering too far away from creep. * The reason top Z currently allows it, is because they can. Also, in the late game, top Z often have mostly covered the map with creep and stands in a defensive position with more bases. | ||
