Dark Swarm from Temu let's go! Still no bugfix for the revelation range bug and larva eggs blocking hatcheries.

Siege Tank can no longer be abducted when in siege mode.

Wow what, this seems pretty massive?

People are calling this massive, I don't think it's as huge because you can still blinding cloud them.

You mean heroic?

Psionic Storm duration increased from 2.86 to 8.58.

Psionic Storm damage reduced from 10 to 5 damage per tick.

Yeah this is an interesting one. Storm will be more of a zoning tool and less of protosses main DPS. Players will be rewarded more for dodging them. This also means that corruptors will take less damage in lategame deathball scenarios. I have a feeling this will be changed before it goes live.

Some interesting changes, but I hope only a few of these go through, and less extreme. This game is too mature to be making this many big changes. And then we're stuck with them for a year?

Like they could cut the storm change in half and it would still be a significant change (7 damage, 5-6 seconds)
