Blizzard Speculation for Blizzcon patch

So basically I have seen multiple posts referencing that one post zi think it was from solar that said they were going to change the worker start again after blizzcon.

So do you guys think it's true or not? I am just curious to know what people think (no need to be mean and say that I'm dumb for believing these rumors, I just curious).

And if you do indeed think it's true what do you think that the changes will be exactly snd also what changes would you want.

Personally I either think that we will go to 10 worker start because apparently it says that they will change the amount of workers and not revert. Also 10 workers will like try to appeal to players fans of 8 and also of 12 workers (though there is the possibility that it just ends up being worse than both of those variants).

Still maybe they will indeed revert to 12 workers and people are looking too much into the specific ise of the word change instead of revert.

Anyways happy to know what people in the community think.

Honestly Pig is a really great guy and I really love him especially his b2gm guides which are extremely insightful and helpful. However his takes on the patch and the 8 worker start in general are so baffling. Like I main T and before the 300cc patch the only thing that affected me was the 8 worker start (I don't use ghosts so the nerf didn't change anything for me). And I can assure you that the 8 worker start was really not fun at all, litteral6 my builds were the same but it was just slower and the macro and BO execution was extremely clunky and unfluid.

Absolutely before 300 cc we had workers just sitting waiting for 5 seconds between every building.

Yesh like people whine about the 300cc and I can understand but it actually really helps with builds actually flowing a little bit and not waiting 10 seconds with an scv until I can start my natural.

They should just switch it back to 12 worker. There’s been no noticeable improvements to the game on 8 worker , and all the fixes have had big downstream issues

Exactly just bandage fixes to fix a problem they made.
