Demo changes are a buff.

39% muni reduction >>>>> 3s timer.

I really consider anyone that thinks the demo 'nerf' is a 'nerf' is wildly inaccurate and needs to think through or playtest changes more.

It's a buff in my opinion, it's a 39% cost reduction (90 -> 65) to one of the most powerful abilities in the game.

• Top level players can still put them on the side of maps on strat points, and wait a few seconds before clicking it, no one will see the timer.
  
  
• put them on buildings (near doors ways), and 3 seconds won't mean shit
  
  
• put them on retreat paths and just time the three seconds out.
  
  
• put them where support weapons are likely to set up, and that's one dead support weapon.
  
  

39% reduction is way too cheap for demos 65 muni for something of that power is crazy to me.

If you can't play around a 3 second timer, i.e. your mental faculties aren't powerful enough to still use demos, you have to question what you're doing playing a strategy game.

The balance modders are suggesting a change here that I absolutely promise you will buff top level 1v1 Soviets.
