A big change like this actually makes me want to play again after literally over a decade of not touching the game.

This patch as already discussed still feels like nerf to protoss. I don't find anything about it to keep me excited as someone who has played protoss since Brood War. If anything, the patch gives me the feeling that I should reconsider switching to terran or zerg...

I saw ByuN repeatedly get beaten by YoungYakov both in tournament and on ladder, I am gonna enjoy seeing P/T lose to zergs they barely knew existed for a few weeks (maybe more :o), reminds me of 2012 when StarCraft 2 was THE esport title
The good thing though with that many crazy changes is that it can bring old players back (it won’t be « new » players), and if they start listening to feedback and patch a bit more the dynamic could be good
Or they could just leave us with a semi broken game we didn’t ask for a whole year we’ll see

Doing this just before big tournaments in MoG2 and Douyu cup is disrespectful to organizers, players and viewers though

one thing i m a bit sad about is that both warp gate changes and worker start changes (both good imho) come at once, instead of staggered. as in maybe get the gates right first. once there, change to 8 workers. I feel the warp change didnt go far enough

I wonder what's going to be worse. Broodlord-Infestor, or the Zerg cabal dominating every single matchup in this latest patch. At least with Broodlord-Infestor, there were timings that Protoss and Terran could hit before it became auto-lose.

This patch is amazing! Loved it. Laddered as both Toss and Zerg and both felt powerful.
Remember that we all come from a place of passion!!
