figure out new timings. not saying it isn't a nerf, as it obviously is to current strategies, but it is not as big as you are claiming to be.
the reason stim was nerfed according to blizz was to fix stim timing pushes, but in reality it affected defense a lot more than offense. the extra time it took to research made void + gateway rushes incredibly hard to defend on many maps without blindly overpreparing and getting behind one way or another.
i think we might see more stargate timings, since the zealot reduction time will popularize chrono'ing zealots and forcing terran to wall much more
