Given the horrendous imbalances brought by the 8 worker start, I sure hope everyone is conscious of how bad it is for LotV
The good side of the patch though, is that I got a lot more zergs on ladder, only a few protoss, and barely 0 TvT
Since I enjoy playing TvZ the most regardless of balance, that’s nice
Pros having to play on this patch is rough though, the hot fixes aren’t solutions, the 8 worker start should be reverted and then work from there

I'm still actually enjoying the 8 worker start myself, I think they should even go to 6 workers like we had before.

I see people joking that CC's only cost 300 minerals now.

I'm not even surprised at this point
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

According to Heromarines twitter we have people playing NA saying CC is 300minerals and Ghosts are back to 2 supply

"This is the updates from Steadfast's discord Supposed known changes that have been found in the editor:
Command Center Cost: 400/0 -> 300/0
Ghost Supply: 3 -> 2
Colossus Damage: 10 (+5 vs light) -> 12 (+3 vs light)
Adept ground attack upgrade bonus: +1 (+1 vs light) -> +2 (+2 vs light)
Load All button removed from transports"

take with a grain of salt though

Hopefully someone investigates larva time and mine burrow speed (with/without claws). Seems to be a lot of undocumented changes. Wouldn't be surprised if whoever is pushing this stuff through grabbed an old PTR build and jammed new changes on it.

TvP late game already felt unloseable once you got there, now you're telling me I get a free orbital and an extra 10-20 army supply? lol

ZvP needs some changes. Being able to ignore storm with banelings is a bit much. Even slow banelings (no hp upgrade) off creep can run through a storm.

TvZ late game turtling is already a scourge on both the viewing and playing experience. This just exacerbates the situation even more.


Extremely odd how they go from reducing workers while simultaneously deciding to do things like buff larva and reduce CC cost.

Ngl, I hate these Terran buffs. Wasn't there something else to buff than CCs and ghosts? (Yes I'm aware Ghosts were nerfed, but imo rightfully so).

Just buff their midgame instead of their late imo, they are already strong late.

Same reason I'm not a fan of the colossus buff, buff disruptors instead, colossi are fine.
low gravity, yes-yes!
