This nerf doesn't address the actual problem of the Warp Prism.....

Yes, it's a nerf and will make ONE usage of it more difficult, but the actual OPness of the Prism comes with it's ranged pickup, not it's warpin ability....

Question: does warp in have anything to do with Immortals?

Literally all they need to do is nerf the pickup range by 2 and its fine.

Instead lets work on something that has nothing to do with the issue

I for one am glad that Blizzard decided to address a more fundamental problem with Protoss warp ins negating defender's advantage, rather than only nerfing pick up range.

A much more substantive change that will affect PvZ and PvT at all levels, and not just only the highest level, since few Protosses outside of GM can actually abuse pick up range to the extent we are seeing in GSL.

Warp prism will be crap with such a change. As has been said the pickup range is what is imbalanced about it.

what exactly do they see this fixing? 2 base timings? the harass? i think this is the wrong way to approach the 'problem'

Honestly I agree with the design of increasing defenders advantage with the change. That being said, I don’t know how any Protoss is going to compete since this is a rather large nerf.

They are trying to not touch warp prism micro, because it is the coolest micro protoss has I'm guessing. Could be an ok change, but it needs a lot of testing.

It's an interesting way to go about things for sure. Seems like there are 2 schools of thought on immortal pushes and what to nerf about them:

1) Long warp prism pick-up range means immortals live way too long. High firepower + extreme survivability makes immortals too powerful. Let's nerf warp prism pick-up range so immortals aren't actually immortal.
2) Warp prism pick-up range is strong, but being able to quickly reinforce an attack means you always have a group of gateway units to drop the immortals behind. These factors combined are what make immortal pushes so strong. Warp prism micro is fun to watch, so let's nerf the warp-in time instead.

Blizzard is clearly trying the second approach.

It fixes all the great games that are ruined by effortless zealot warp ins in the main.

but how does a change in the warp in-speed change what a neglected zealot warp-in can do in the main when both players are about maxed? when these zealot warp-ins do damage it is because the prism is uncontested, not because it is slightly contested but the warp-in speed makes it impossible to defend.

and if wp harass is discouraged then the game is less dynamic and we're back to ball on ball violence

This will really hurt PvZ while having not much effect PvT imo, kinda a weird direction to go. Not a fan.
