EPTEdit: and lots of the units have pretty neat active abilities, starting even from the lowest of tiers. Even one of their most basic macro abilities has interesting capabilities, the Warp Gate.

Stop 4warp gating and going robo builds. Protoss has a lot of cool stuff. Have you ever used Warp Prisms or Hallucination? Probably not. | ||

Imo they've had the biggest overhaul in comparison to the other races, and they have by far some of the most interesting/fun early game micro. And macro. | ||

As a Terran player I find myself wishing I got to use small, skill-based things like Forcefield and Blink all the time. youve got tons: snipe, siege, concussive shells, viking transformation, emp, nukes, yamato, jetpacks etc. | ||

Probably not. I've used both. Hallucination is a great alternative to robo with observer, and it can also confuse opponents on what units they should get. I had alot of fun with Warp Prisms and/or proxy pylons for a while, but the fun just didn't last long. | ||

However their background music and lack of real character with the 'robot' units is extremely boring compared to terran and zerg. Playing Terran is actually fun with the SCV's and other units talk imo. Yup. I find that protoss are dealing with some identity crysis. The stalker and the sentry are really odd looking, though their abilities are fun. The immortal looks great, but only shoots what appear to be a powerful powder gun instead of made of laser. The phoenix, a supposed air supperiority has a gravitron beam for harassing - wow - and is the smallest air unit taking out the interceptors. They are so advanced but need 6 range, even terrans that supposedly aren't so smart were able to build a air unit with longer range. The warp prism, is a nice idea, but they made it so weak, only on undefended places can it be used. The units with most personality are probably the colossus and the dark templar. The high templar is nice in paper, but it's toon in the game looks like it came from warcraft. The archon is very protoish, and since it's the merging of two very important protoss units, the templars, it should be really strong, but unfortunately they made it a joke to use. I hope better times will come ;/ | ||

This. I got bored with protoss early on, but that was because I was doing the same 4 gate / 3gate robo push every game because I didn't know what else to do. There are tons of fun and interesting tactics you can do with them. | ||
