Then they nerfed it so it's kinda bad at all stages | ||

They buffed it a lot, and now they have gradually nerfed them down patch by patch. | ||

I'm, probably mixing it up in my head because of the 100ths form of warpgate and chronoboost being also gradual nerfs to adept rushes, but not to the unit itself. | ||

If the attack speed increase is a nerf , then by God, I think we're talking about a different game. The 40 base HP was a huge nerf to their strong areas in the game; they used to compete well against roaches, marauders, stalkers and widow mines were awful against them. It made them lose to those units and get 1shot by widow mines. This is before the upgrade comes into play, especially. They were never strong vs standard MMM/Liberator/Ghost and they're not now, but now they're much weaker early game too. | ||

Now we'll have a ridiculous long build time forever. Yeah I thought more people was gonna react on this as well. We want a useful carrier that is possible to get, not a carrier that is op but impossible to get. | ||

Disruptors to need a nerf to damage, they 1 shots so many units is very dumb | ||

Your attempts to make this Warhound 2.0 reincarnation look as a workable with unit design is laughable. Ppl who haven't dealt with you in the past might actually take you seriously ... | ||

Their concern of Nydus Worm brings up an earlier balance change to me: since Zealots were overshadowed by Adepts and players included more Adepts than Zealots in their armies, the team decided to BUFF ZEALOTS so that they could be competitive to Adepts. We all know how things turned out after this. After nerfing the charge damage, Adepts were nerfed significantly and eventually the role of Adepts changed. One take-home message: "survivorship bias" can lead to overbuffing or overnerfing. | ||

Adepts never did - they were extremely powerful early, extremely weak late - but only explicitly broken during the warp prism warpgate timing | ||

What you fail to grasp is that abusing adepts in early/mid game allows a far easier late game transition into air (if the opponent even survives till then). | ||

So EVERY unit?? Adepts were nerfed for a damn good reason - the most broken unit to enter the game since the warhound. They need to be super careful about buffing it or low-skill protoss players will be back to mass adept bullshit again. Upset we are still not targeting the Nydus worm with a change this patch and still not addressing the PB. | ||

Because they were better units. Adepts were nerfed for a damn good reason - the most broken unit to enter the game since the warhound. Super powerful early game, super useless later. That was always an issue. | ||
