Protoss players cry about sentry nerf but FF isnt counterable, too long casting range and duration makes enemy ground army useless (even if toss isnt much skilled).

You can kill ghost with feedback to preven emp, you can focus infestor to not to fungal/parasite but you cant do anything to prevent FF abuse.

You guys seem to forget that sentries cost 100 gas!! If you're going to be spamming sentries then you'll be slow to tech up. That means much later colossus/HTs coming out, which is what hurts Terran more than forcefield. Plus, Terran has EMP which absolutely DESTROYS Protoss without taking into account the energy drain. One well placed EMP will make sentries completely useless in addition to making them only have 40 hp, which is why as a Protoss player I always try not to have sentry heavy armies against Terran. The only time I will make a number of sentries is if I go colossus, and that's to hallucinate up tons of colossi BEFORE a fight to hide the real ones in, that way if they get EMP'd they'd have already used up their energy anyway.

Oh and to the above poster, it's hard to kill a cloaked ghost with feedback. If you're teching to HT's then depending on the situation you might have skipped robo tech, meaning no obs.
I'll smoyf you up

All I can do is laugh at this.

How come you can focus Infestors but not sentries? Fungal and FF have the same range. Before someone says "because you are walled off" replace the underlined word with rooted and repeat step one.

My god what is up with these moronic threads asking for nerfs on the weakest race.

For fucks sake the unit has only 40 health and 40 shields, what more can you want.

You already have stim on marauders which makes no sense at all


rofl weakest race, sounds like you're biased and have nothing constructive to share =/

edit: and some micro makes 80HP go a long way. remember you can keep them behind the rest of your army as well.


Nothing constructive to share? You created a moronic thread with a moronic purpose and you just made random suggestions with no backing: "Make force field have 50% less diameter so it would take 2 to block a ramp"

You clearly know absolutely nothing at all about protoss balance if you think this change wouldn't drop protoss winrate at least 5% across the board

You can emp them, obviously.

EMPing a group of sentries with one aoe emp from a cloaked ghost is infinitely easier than trying to feedback 6 cloaked ghosts admist a terran army when they're sniping your observers and you don't have a magical scan that will detect the ghosts other than your expensive and weak observers.

These are just nerf proposals, there is nothing about balance at all here. You think FF and GS is too strong. You forgot half of the "why" and just posted the "how."

Everyone should play random for awhile before they think they have an off-race figured out.

yea, honestly it was threads and complaints like these that got storm nerfed. now no one ever uses storm due to the sheer suckage of it. keep making these threads and sentry will get nerfed. then watch protoss winrate just drop. hell, one more big nerf to protoss and i may just change race.

you cannot nerf FF. it is absolutely critical for toss to survive. Without it, speedlings would completely dominate early game PvZ as auto-surround and creep movespeed bonus would let them rape so incredibly easy. marauders and marines would have unlimited kiting ability and because of slow protoss can do absolutely NOTHING about it. FF is the practically the only thing keeping protoss alive to midgame.

guardian shield is incredibly crucial. especially when zergs go mass mutas, which seems to be all they ever do now. especially since maps like DO and scrap station really favor heavy muta harass with short air rush, long ground rush, and indefensible naturals. without GS muta bounce rapes protoss so hard it's not even funny.

play protoss before you throw the nerf stick at it.

-Proposed Changes to Guardian Shield-

Quite simply, the most reasonable change to this ability is to make it reduce 1 armor instead of 2. This still reduces the damage of marines by 16% and the damage of marauders by 10% against non-armored and 5% against armored targets. I find this to be a more fair amount which should lead to more diversity in terran's early game options.

Lol, why in the world would this lead lead to more diverse Terran strats? All Terran ever does is mass Marines and Marauders. Guardian Shield slightly discourages this strategy. So, what is Terran going to do if it gets nerfed? Mass even more Marines and Marauders! Sentries are easy to deal with as long as your army doesn't equal 100% M&M.

(Not necessarily too easy, but you get the point, right?)

There are several really good posts in this thread explaining why this is a bad idea. But, the reason this thread is being closed is because you haven't sufficiently highlighted *why* any changes are necessary.
