The Lose More Card

Dark Archon seems to be a lose more card for Terran and Zerg these days. The last really legitimate use of Dark Archon in PvP that was memorable for me was the Shuttle ASL run in Season 1. No one really attempts anything more than Feedback, and that was primarily Shuttle, who has disappeared to some extent.

As long as the Dark Archon is a lose more card, I don't see how Protoss can function. I don't mean Dark Archon causes Protoss to lose, but that it seems to be a major insult and injury to Zerg and Terran. There is a lot of need for Protoss to go above the Supply cap of 200/200, but it's not proven to be good in other matchups. Lastly, I don't think the Dark Archon can only be used for Maelstrom on Devourers and Zerg drops. Obviously, Dark Archon can keep the drop in place until it dies, but can anyone justify Maelstrom above Reaver for Ultra? Every late game PvZ will probably be high economy.

That lone Dark Archon trying to win the game has never been a reality. Early programmers should have saved its shields.
