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

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. =( | ||

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. | ||

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 don't know what the thought process behind that one was... the reaver introduced so much excitement into the game... (can he micro his reaver well enough to win? Will that scarab kill 20 scvs or 2? etc) | ||

I'm fine with the scarabs but the one glitch I hate hate hate hate hate is when you right click a target with the reaver and the reaver decides it's a melee unit and crawls toward the thing you clicked on. (I think this is one of the reasons pros select with shuttle to target, right?) | ||

The creep mechanic in SC2 is a joke. It isn't a buff in any way as it makes the hydra essentially unusable off creep. Roaches are incredibly boring compared to hydras and just as how microing colossi is so mindless for the Protoss, microing against it is as equally mindless. Same thing with templars. Templars have lost a lot of meaning because storm doesn't have the same "ZAP UR DEAD" effect against roaches, which replaced hydras as the 1.5 tech muscle unit. It doesn't really matter anyway, since no one uses templars in the first place. | ||

Same can be applied with Zerg. Storms eat zerglings, hydras and mutas. Not to mention archons are quite the unit to fight against mutas. Their the Thor's of Protoss in PvT. | ||
