From a game I played in the EVO vs Quantum Gaming clanwar today ^_^

The total kill count of my army including the sentries/stalkers/voids in the middle of the map was over 500 O_O

I think the reason they are so strong is because the attack upgrade counts twice since they have 2 attacks.

No

Tons of units have 2 attacks... here's some just off the top of my head

zealot
phoenix
colossus
stalker
viking
thor
brood lord?

etc etc

It also means armor upgrades for the opponent are being counted twice....

It really has absolutely nothing to do with how strong the colossi are

Secon- I mean thirded.

I despise colossi, not because they're powerful or anything, but because they're just so boring. There's absolutely no excitement when an army gets destroyed by colossi. =(

Yeah, just like with marauders/roaches

Unfortunately the "staple" units that all 3 races rely on are all extremely boring and require minimal to no micro

I have no problem with Colossus, I just have a problem with the fact that they are pretty much the best unit for 90% of given situations in all 3 matchups. They are too common.

Microing colossi makes me want to punch a puppy. Feels like it doesn't belong in this game with it's super slow turn speed and overall clumsiness. They do shoot giant lasers that kill everything though so I guess it's somewhat mitigated.

Yeah, I too want to know how this happened...D matrix scourge survives to kill another target?

Or just some sort of really weird long-range-zealot-esque glitch that caused that?

This is what Ive been complaining about forever. Even if the colossi and marauder werent so stupidly powerful (colossi in all 3 matchups and marauder in tvp), they'd still be the insanely uninspired and boring units.

Like you said, units that are very mobile, do lots of damage and are quite beefy (well colossi arent that beefy themselves but when they have their ball to defend them then yeah), and ofc require minimal micro.

Funny to see this lol, orb I know that you've been saying collosus are stupid in terms of balance since beta, and that you hated playing with them, but looks like you're converting to the dark side.

Well unfortunately blizzard has been nerfing the shit out of protoss since the beta, and now with the removal of khaydarin amulet I am essentially forced to go colossi in every matchup at least some of the time (if not a majority).

I really hate it, but unfortunately that's what you HAVE to do as protoss to win... all the other units are so terrible

I love protoss and that's pretty much all I play, but I really hate colossi...such a boring unit. Maybe future expansions will provide other options so that I don't have to make colossi in order to survive.
