ejozl Denmark3503 Posts 1 hour ago #164 There's no need to see it play out, I don't want to see pros playing on a patch that does this, in a vacuum how is this fair, exactly?: Larva spawn rate increased from 10.7s to 9s. Queen mineral cost decreased from 175 to 150. Unit warp-in time slowed from 3s (PTR1) to 4s. Transform to Warpgate cost is 25/25 from 50/50 (PTR1). In reality if warp gates are supposed to cost 25/25, then queens should cost 175/25, tech labs 75/50 and reactors 75/75. In fact Protoss produce more warp gates than Queens, tech labs and reactors, so I just don't understand it. And then there's also a nerf to defensive shield battery, hello? Please stop making Protoss hating patches, and let's do weekly tournaments on more balanced patches, thank you. Patches or Greenert mod are probably more balanced than this, they also shake up the game a whole lot more, if that's what you wish for.

That was one of the stupidest most unfortunate changes that were made only because of the constant fuck ups the balance council did with the Raven and then they overreacted. This barely affects pro play, but still makes it a slightly better wall for mech pushes that might have this upgrade. Reverting Queen mineral cost is fine but they need to pair it with Hatch also reverting to 300 minerals. Else keep it the same.

BlackEyed 21 Posts 30 minutes ago #166 Man, I was already hoping they’d actually fix the game instead of just slapping on band-aids. I figured that if the developers were experimenting with worker counts, they might finally pay attention to some of the other critical issues as well. Maybe they'd rework Queens, or give Zerg a proper T1 anti-air unit. But nope. It took them three weeks just to move an upgrade back from the Gateway to the Cybernetics Core. And now they’re once again suggesting that players mass Queens. Well, I guess my expectations are my own problem.
