It's legit

Just to clarify this because I was wondering and I've seen others asking the same question

How do we feel about this?
EDIT:
This is not as significant of a change as I first thought. This was already possible if the lings were close enough to the center, so what this change really does for this interaction is change how far from the center you would have to be for the mine to fire on the lings.

Don't get me wrong, Protoss could actually be weak after this patch, but I don't think so.

Pre warpgate unit times are barely different. Post warpgate is just better. And there's no slow warp-in anymore.

The only question is whether Protoss will struggle because of warpgate research being on the gateway. But once they figure out how to survive that stage of the game reliably, I think protoss will be stronger because of this patch.

I mean sure, it ruined adept/zealot/stalker all in timings but according to protoss players those haven't been viable in years and they're FORCED to go stargate oracle every game, so there's no loss there.

tl;dr throw this patch in the dumpster

I will be hosting a live discussion of the PTR changes in roughly 2 hours. This is just a casual discussion between friends, we're just joe schmoes of sc2 not anybody important or with skin in the game, we just love starcraft (although we do sometimes have guests). I'll show chat on stream and it'll be on youtube later and if you bring up interesting points we'll be happy to talk about them. I've been hosting these discussions weekly for a little while now, you can see previous episodes here:

A special treat this week, we got to pick the brain of map maker and creator of Ultralove, TacticalFluke!

I've always enjoyed genuine conversations about balance but felt like it's hard to find in the starcraft community. Usually it's one of two extremes: either 'balance is fine' or reddit where it feels like most people just want to sh*tpost and meme.

And so I decided to put together a little casual talk show with some of my starcraft friends who I've known for years since we already talk about balance with each other regularly. I'm hoping that some of you might enjoy this type of candid conversation and in the future we'll have some guests and special topics like map makers discussing how maps affect balance, etc.

Also, I'm obviously aware of my reputation on reddit as a zerg whiner and I'm humbly asking you to give this a chance. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and I'm open to suggestions for improvement.
