I dunno I think that's a pretty sweet change actually. I would increase the effectiveness of archons and templars a lot.

Maybe, but imagine what it'll do to pvp. You won't even need to get a unit up the ramp to warp directly into someone's main. Also ghosts will be able to nuke from all over the place. :p

Didn't even think of that. That's even more sweet when I think of it, lost temple would be insane :-)

thats quite a good point, bit daft! could be interesting though!

Other than that i quite like the changes, especially the mule/chronoboost cooldowns, i think their much needed.
 
Could really do with a spare guest pass and would be very appreciative if someone could PM me one.

Currently waiting for my copy to be delivered :(.

edit, email in trust sorry. Forgot no PMs.

I'm getting a new game account I think... Seriously my record is poor and it angers me to know at least 20% of my losses are due to me being a noob -.-

Will keep one account for 1v1 another for 2v2/3v3/4v4 I think.

Going to get a US account at the end of the month!

Getting http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-051-RA&utm_source=froogle at the end of the month also :D
