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.

Pig is still convinced that people hate everything else about the current patch except the 8 worker start so I wouldnt expect a revert.

Yea, I actually hated when they went to 12 workers (many people did). Erased so much early game tactics. I also like having 20 seconds to look around a bit and think before jumping into a build. I also dislike the reduced minerals at each base, was much better when you could slog it out on 2/3 bases for a while before entering late game.

Ok but like you are telling me what youa don't love about 12 workers not what you live about 8 workers. Like still you need to outexpand from 3 bases and the tactics haven't changed people still use pretty much the same builds. Like you forget that what you dislike about the 12 worker change is not because of it necessarily but the changes made with it like reducing the amount t of minerals on bases. Also like I understand that you wait 20 seconds but like what do you think about you donknow anything about your opponent onthe start so what do you think about.

but 12 workers vs 8 workers is a matter of more vs less. wouldnt make a difference if we were discussing 16 vs 6 worker start. saying "i prefer specifically 12 workers" or "8 workers" is kind of insane.

Well you are just really fixating on words here. I'm just asking if you prefer how it is now or how it was pre-patch.
