Protoss imbalance has gone TOO FAR. - Page 12

Guys that you pull off the street could probably sit down to a computer and play Protoss in SC. Boxer, who is great at Terran, started Protoss because it was the easiest. This won't reach a conclusion if it were up to Blizzard's developers. I'm not hired as a game designer, but I think that if it were completely up to me, I would just remove High Templars and Corsairs from the game.

I was reading through this going wtf why wasn't this shit closed. Glad I read it all the way or I'd have embarassed myself when I posted a rebuttal saying Protoss actually does take some skill.

Now I don't think you're in a position to talk. What's your rank on iCCup?
I'd venture to guess no higher than D level. How would I get to C without facing P?
Like everyone on iCCup is P. You can't rise in the ranks without facing one. Don't jump
to conclusions like that. It doesn't have to do with my own skill - it just happens to
take no skill to properly play Protoss. I mean, not even an huge Ultraling army can take
a similarly sized Protoss army head on. We also have to manage larva, and it takes Protoss a
minute to completely remacro their army from their 50 Gateways (hi fOrU!)


Just nerf Protoss and all their overpowered tech because all their players have to do is
sit at the keyboard and roll their face over the hotkeys to win. This just isn't
right. I've even seen a game where a Protoss managed to outexpand a Zerg!
There isn't even a logical explanation for that. What mobility?

I think we should stop talking about BoxeR. He's a has-been, it's over for him. It's about time we whistled his swan song. Just another victim to the Protoss imbalance that faces Terran. If it were not for that race, perhaps we'd have more dominant Zergs besides July. Too long have we been tormented; a plague of down-syndrome newbies who pick the best looking race. With their stupid crystal Pylons, cab yellow Nexuses and Stargateways or whatever.

And when the day of Starcraft 2 comes, it doesn't look like there will be any change. Stalkers will blink when Zealots charge, and the Zerg army's mobility will be crushed even further. Now comes the time - it will be stagnant, and there will be naught but mirrors online, the Protoss wave crushing those who came new to the game. People will try the other races, sure, and they will fail. This horrid epoch draws near, if it hasn't arrived already.

The Protoss armies, with their new shiny contraptions, will clash. Terran drivers will hang up their license and resort to a life of drinking heavily. The Zerg's sharp claws, corrosive acid and chitinous plate will become old and unused, unable to cut through Protoss armor.

Said time is upon us already and we are powerless to stop it. The game will become boring. No more fresh faces or strategies on the board. It will be 1a2a3a forever. The horrendous villains of SC, the Zerg, and the survivors amongst all odds will find themselves at the wayside.

It will never be the same game. The Jaedong and Flash will be gone, replaced by the Stork and Jangbi. Had Blizzard only listened to the roar of the crowd! But it is too late, all other players said "Nope. No dice." and left the game forever, never to look back. A few lone players try playing the other races, all in a separate channel on B.Net quarantined for them. They're soon dealt with.

The game sells its copies, for sure, but all the players return to Starcraft 1, imba as it is. Tired of the mirror, Terran and Zerg will play SC1 freely, away from the tyranny of the Protoss who moved to SC2.
