no more a move than brood lords. yes you A-move the big t3 units, but they require additional support micro IE microing stalkers to target fire Vikings or microing Infestors/ corrupters to target vikings.

I still wish they would remove it and give protoss something else to deal with mass amounts of units. Probably won't happen though as colossus are so vital to a lot of P builds.

To be honest I don't care about the reason, colossus is just horribly boring to watch, and I feel the same way about roaches in ZvZ and marauders too.

Don't want it removed, but I'd love to see the carrier made viable (oh how I miss my nubbie BGH mass carrier BW days).

sentry needs to be removed or adjusted in some way. When protoss players become good ( not bash race, just players gradually improve) forcefields will get better and it will make other races not able win fights.

As a protoss player I've always been upset with the decision to remove Reavers and give us Colossus. Protoss needs splash to deal with late game compositions, but I always felt like player skill got robbed when they took out Reavers. I'd love to see a reversal on these particular units.

Colossus, to be replaced by reaver. Using reavers with sentries would be so much more interesting and micro intensive, since you'd have to be careful not to forcefield your own scarabs out and prevent them from hitting.

I don't know if any units should be removed from the game, but if people aren't making X unit rarely, or not at all under any circumstance it needs to be changed or removed.
...
That being said, the Mothership should be removed.. STAT!!!!

Collosus, it's just the worst unit I've seen in an RTS. It's not even laughably bizarre, it's just so boring plain and uninteresting.

The Colossus is such a boring a-move unit. I'd like to see it removed for the Reaver or something.

Colossus, It forces the deathball (needs to be protected). Is too expensive to be much use by itself. Helps to nullify the usefulness of the carrier, why build a carrier when i can tech for colossus and pick up detection along the way? (though the carrier has its own problems and didn't need any help from the colossus to be bad). A useless carrier weakens the rest of the protoss "air tech" because you are less likely to get upgrades.

Finally its a boring unit.

Edit: I went 2 months in i think season 5 or 6 where i banned myself from making colossus, i found the game more enjoyable but quite a bit harder. Ended up with some fun combinations of phoenix/immortal/(ht)archon late games. Or mass carriers in pvp! Also so many storms in pvt! Late game just seemed so much more exciting even with the increase in losses.

I would reccomend every protoss try a solid chunk of time just not making the colossus.

I love the way people actually voted for roach to be removed to be wildly honest here for a minute if roach were removed Zerg wouldn't be able to feasibly win against a huge amount of strats. Like mass hellions what could the Zerg do? Or mass Zealots? Its very funny how people forget how important specific units are in this game especially for Zerg.
