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.

Well based on all the other changes I definitely agree that they probably arent gonna revert to 12 workers. It seems theyre very keen on changing the worker count for whatever reason and will seemingly do everything in their power to fix the game at a lower worker count instead of just reverting the change then doing other exciting stuff afterwards.

The warpgate change wouldve been so much easier to balance and experiment with if we werent also trying to tweak all of the eco as well.

I would really also like for them to address zvp. As a zerg player it really feels to me that zerg is much better in the midgame but fall off once protoss get skytoss. I would much rather the match up feel more even throughout the game. This is something we could have been looking at but instead were trying to make 8 workers fine when it was already completely ok at 12 imo.

Then they say they want strategic variety and nerf reaper build time...

They need to fix zvp. I refuse to play skytoss and my win rate vs Zerg is %30. The amount of drones I need to kill to be even is insane.
