EPT
LotV closed beta announced to start on March 31 - Page 131
| Forum Index > Legacy of the Void |
Thanks to Reddit sleuths, everyone can try the LotV test maps by following instructions here. Note: This is not a beta key, it is simply access to Vs. AI and a Unit Tester. I have no idea how cool with this Blizzard is or is not, use at your own risk. | ||

i think the best way is to stick to as many changes as possible and see how it all works out over the next weeks. but feels way more micro/smaller fight orientated which i really like | ||

Edit: Nevermind. Seems like Blizzard just hasn't put any sounds for it and took the raven's verbatim. | ||

cyclones look really dumb though, just having them kite roaches up to 14 range is the most boring interaction you can get. adepts I think will excel at killing workers over anything else, oracle all over again. warp prism pick-up range reduces the exciting risk/reward of those kinds of moves imo. viper spell might break up air deathballs hard which could be a good thing, interested to see how nydus worms work out.. | ||

Adepts are going to be very good against early pushes from the Terran, which Protoss has been struggling to deal with in recent times (at least in Korea). They wreck pure marine comps. Also, Protoss has the best anti-Muta option in the game: pheonixes. How could you possibly complain about Mutas in ZvP? | ||

You still have the immortal. | ||

It's hard to get phoenixes up if you don't have the infrastructure for it. It used to be you'd be okay with enough blink stalkers to hold on to get to storm as a proper defense, but now phoenixes are the only way to truly defend. The thing that exacerbated this is the blink research time nerfs and the fact that blink/storm can no longer catch up to muta's HotS speed. I don't know if changing the adept is the right answer though. | ||

With proper micro you should be able to pull them back, but unfortunately protoss has been designed around this not really being practical in 99% of all situations. Moreover, assuming the Immortal had a slightly higher range (around 7), it would also be further rewarded to target fire enemy armored units with it. I don't understand what the "99% of situations" is referring to. Are you saying that in 99% of situations, Protoss can't pull back their Colossi? | ||

We shouldn't just look at units and their counter micro and judge if it has a place in the game or not. phenoix opening doesn't offer a lot of counter micro but it is interesting because it allows protoss to have map control early on, force zerg to play blind. Muta against protoss another example, finding holes in defense, force protoss to turtle, complete map dominance. It helps to make game a lot more dynamic even if there isn't a lot of micro actions going on. Also I don't think siege tank drop is that effective after the meta stabilized. Hard to say of cause Huk and Rotterdam were both saying yesterday that Pheonix openings are really great, probably for the reason you stated. Recently, most Stargate openings have used the Oracle. I wonder if we'll be seeing Pheonix more often now. | ||
