Seems like they are fixing the 4 gate in PvP. Anyone remember that they increased Zealot train time because the 2 gate zealot rush was too strong ? Guess what, they are decreasing their train time now, woot !

Besides that it looks pretty neutral for T's / Z's

I like the salvage change, even though I never use it.

Rest looks good tbh. What will the archon change translate 2 in practical terms?

out

[Comadevil]

- Archons can destroy forcefields
- Units who make extra damage vs. massive units like void rays will benefit from it vs. Archons
- Concussive shells has now no effect on Archons

[jerom]

yeah biggest one is that marauders won't hit n run archons till the infinity

[Aaryn_GenD]

noooooooooooooooo goddamnit -.-
what hte **** is that.... good job taking out 4 gate
the patch would look gret, if you'd remove this change:

Research Warp Gate time increased from 140 to 180.

aahrg, damnit -.- why not 150 or 160 seconds?? this would have been enough.
i like the pylon radius change and the archon being massive (btw good summary there coma and jerom) and the salvage i had that idea from the very beginning, getting the ufll 100 min back is a bit too much^^

also, since when can spore crawlers uproot like spine crawlers??

[Gomezd]

warp gate time increase seems excessive, but I dont mind it at all, Im so sick of pvp if I never play vs a 4gater it will be too soon.

2 gate PvZ here i come!

Aaryn u didnt know spores could uproot? 8O

[LaZy]

out

[Aaryn_GenD]

ye true, it's just i never saw somebody root them up so i thought they weren't given the root feature

[LaZy]

o ye of little faith. U need 2 c 2 believe.

I think the changes are Perfect! Not that only because Im bad at TvP.. Its just that it will put more varied play from P players, instead of having and going Allways for Warp gate, they now can benefit on actually just Warping in units the old school way (like in BW, you knooow what im saaaying?!).
Awell, and the salvage is actually a good change. 100% was a bit to much, even I thought so being terran.
Decreasing build time on warping units from the actual Gateway is also a nice change. Altough there will be LOADS of proxy gate All-ins now.. that is Extremely hard to stop (The name All-in have that effect).

Awell...
Good changes, lets see how it plays out!

[HeJurmhoanni]

every protoss build needs to be changed after the patch if the warpgate changes stay.. T_T but at the same time i think those changes are really good
