Terrans probably would like their shield armor to be "armored" so they can make more marauders instead of just making 1 ghost to EMP lol

currently, archons just get roflowned by marauders because they get slowed so much.

and do terrans realize how FUCKED a protoss is if their HTs are emped by 1-2 emps (which is so easy to be done.)?. I think making archons massive should be justified. They are still very costly, they no longer have storms (YAY FOR TERRAN), and 2-3 archons would be there at max

I think more than anything making archons massive would be a large step forward in the pvp matchup, not being able to restrict all the opponents zealots behind forcefields and allowing them to engage the gateway unit ball while your stalkers can blink forward to pick off the colosuss would be awesome, I'm all for seeing blizzard implement this

omg if archons were massive, this would make pvp and pvt so much more interesting. Being able to break forcefields and not getting slowed would add so much more dimension to the match up

The biggest thing that needs to happen to buff Templar tech is removing the Dark Shrine.

Making archons might make sense from a balance perspective, but does it really seem legitimate to allow them to break down sentry forcefields? I mean, they *do* hover.

The only thing I've ever used Archons for is as death fodder while retreating. If I know my army is going to get picked off and my Templar don't have energy, I'll morph them into Archons so hopefully some of my other army can survive.

That being said, I have no clue what purpose this would serve.

Oh, and closing this thread. Precedent and all.
