And if near a Nexus the Reaver can cast "Automated Reavering" on the Nexus to shoot Reaver banelings at anything within 150 range

I honestly don't know why the forums are so hard-on for getting the Reaver back in the game. The last thing the fucking Protoss race needs is another fucking AOE.
Blizzard may actually have the balls to fix HOTS. They are talking about moving LOTV swarm hosts into HOTS soon'ish and also lowering PDD time to 30 seconds to end turtlemech.

Not sure. This WCS is still going to be HotS. Blizzard still invests a lot of money into WCS. If the games are terrible no one will watch it. If no one is watching HotS no one will buy LotV. It stands to reason that they should make sure HotS is in a good spot before moving to LotV.
Started playing this again. Still my favorite MP game since I don't have to deal with team mates and losses are on me. I'm starting completely from the basics again. Each match I am working on a basic mechanic. The past days have been supply blocks. Then working on production management. I'm also taking a more keen interest in in-battle micro than previously. I am also playing much, much slower and less spammy. I'm focusing on the basics and staying calm during the game to avoid the adrenaline highs and lows I was constantly getting.
Holy shit I hate having to level up your MMR again.
I was told I am a TvT cheeser because I opened 13 gas Banshee
A real life TvP build order:
Gate/Cyber
*AIR Weapons 1*
Nexus
Forge
Stargate -> Single Oracle (scouted, also)
*AIR Armor 1*
Sentry
*SHIELDS 1*
Nexus
Yes I included all army production as well. When my normal 2 medivac timing hit my army value was at ~3100. His was 340.

It'll be out before blizzcon for sure. Their current stance is first half 2015. HotS beta took like 7 months and LotV appears more disruptive to the game than HotS. I don't see the downside of them letting people test out many of their fundamental changes and see if they work or not sooner rather than later.

Haven't played ladder in like 6 months, not much time to commit and just grinding ladder on weekends makes me frustrated by the lack of my own improvement. I have been flirting with playing zerg, but making the switch is pretty hard, because there are so many situations where I just fall apart.

Played a little sc2 over the weekend for the first time in about a year. After not playing in so long I feel like the game would be a lot more enjoyable if micro wasn't so efficient. Are there any plans to change how units clump together?, that would be a big help. But I personally wouldn't mind if they even took it a step further and oh I don't know have all your units attack something when you issue an attack command and not just have units sitting in the back doing nothing, like when I issue an attack command, when the front of my forces get into attack range of where I clicked my army should fan out, not just sit in a giant ball where I clicked.
You're basically asking to take all skill out of engagements. If you like there are plenty of 3rd party hacks that do these micro actions for you.

Yeah, I know its basically a different game at that point. I just dislike how much emphasis is put on micro managing your army. It should be more about your economy/army composition/strategy in my opinion.
If I had to resort to using hacks to defeat someone I just wouldn't play the game, would just take any sense of accomplishment out.
