Finally the footprint editor for footprint data in the map editor is working. It no longer fails to load existing footprints.

It wont make a noticable difference, someone will lose to Terran and still cry EMP OP and will ignore the other reasons why he lost. No need to look at Blizzard sc2 general discussion forum, it's full of tards.

EMP's nerf is prety big. Remember that area is proportional to the square of the radius so the 25% reduction probably means more than 25% less units hit with a single EMP although that will not effect EMP snipes at all (tossing an EMP at specific units like HTs to remove their energy and make them easier to kill).

A tactic I invented recently for 3v3 and 4v4 teamgames: Single Gateway + Robo + Warp Prism. Just letting people know about the replays thread, and my recently uploaded replay in specific.

...And to make 7,000 posts =P

Exactly, nerf from 2 to 1.5 results in ~44% less area covered.

That's pretty noticeable to me.

Actually they're pretty much balancing it already, because it's just a measly upgrade change for them and many have been complaining about the long waits at some point of time.
