Each race must have their really strong combos or units, and other races some ways to counter it : AND it must be in an interesting way for countering it (abilities or specific tactics, not just massing it and A-move). Think of it like Chess, Queen is a far overpowered piece but it can be counter, and your opponent has one too ! | ||

having HP doesnt really make sense if the FF is made of "energy" | ||

Have any of you really read the article or did you get entranced by the nostalgia of BW in its current state? | ||

If the P player has the APM to cast half a dozen perfectly placed force fields before the terran can EMP the sentry, then frankly I say well done to the Protoss user. In the same way, if the T can EMP half the Protoss army before Feedback/Psi Storm is used, then good on them. I can't say I'm particularly happy with the Protoss caster/Ghost dynamic as it stands, but introducing more ways that they counter each other can in my opinion, only be detrimental to the unit relationship.

forcefields with HEALTH BARS!! Why won't genius suggestions like this appear in the sc2 forums instead of "adding grappling hooks to units" | ||

Think of it like Chess, Queen is a far overpowered piece but it can be counter, and your opponent has one too ! good job. You too drone! Guarenteed Blizz developers have some sort of balanced scorecard as a guideline to keep each unit/race counterable by another, then Beta, which sole purpose is to test that scorecard (along with bnet, ladder, and the rest of the fine details that go into the game) and tweak and make adjustments. They are able to look at graphs and charts every morning seeing every statistic one could think of. That along with Beta forums, and community feedback like TL = beautful final product. | ||
