raptor11234 13 Posts July 02 2019 07:11 GMT #2 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....

GreasedUpDeafGuy United States340 Posts July 02 2019 20:24 GMT #4 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

Riner1212 United States221 Posts July 02 2019 20:43 GMT #5 I will take any nerf to protoss!

contv 35 Posts July 03 2019 00:51 GMT #6 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.

NinjaNight 352 Posts July 03 2019 02:33 GMT #7 Warp prism will be crap with such a change. As has been said the pickup range is what is imbalanced about it.

Alejandrisha United States6007 Posts July 03 2019 08:56 GMT #8 what exactly do they see this fixing? 2 base timings? the harass? i think this is the wrong way to approach the 'problem'

iMrising United States1080 Posts July 04 2019 00:33 GMT #9 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.

Popparockz United States37 Posts July 04 2019 19:44 GMT #10 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.

sugarmuffinpuff Canada23 Posts July 05 2019 01:33 GMT #11 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.

Pursuit_ United States1269 Posts July 07 2019 02:33 GMT #17 This will really hurt PvZ while having not much effect PvT imo, kinda a weird direction to go. Not a fan.

KalWarkov Germany3876 Posts July 07 2019 20:54 GMT #18 i approve of it. i disapprove of the fact that there is no buff to make up for it.
