Colossus vs Disruptor - Page 3

But I do feel like I have to try harder vs T. I'm dropping them everywhere, setting traps with stasis, flanks with storm, etc... and they're mostly just parade pushing me.

Because Protoss is less demanding sheer mechanics wise so it's balanced by more complex army management.

Disruptor so infinitely better to play against, I feel like when Protoss wrecks me with them they wrecked me with skill compared to A move Colossus, Disruptor is good for the game, Colossus should just be removed.

Disruptors will deal handily with parade pushes. If they're actually just a-moving their army into your base then the disruptors will take out a sizable chunk of their army.

I think by "parade push" he just means a committed attack, with a supply line (reinforcements moving across the map). This, opposed to a squad-type attack, with a "macro army" back at home.

The technical response to a "parade push" is to attack the supply line, or counter attack their base and force the reinforcements to turn around. This is obviously a challenging thing to do.

I've been doing this successfully with Adept/Zealot warpins at their base. The key is just not spreading myself too thin. Sometimes I harass with too many units and end up dying to the push.

But yeah, the constant harass style and lots of bases to protect = smaller engagements which makes disruptor play less viable IMO.

He said it's easier based on sheer mechanics. So let's exclude micro mechanics for the time being. Missing a production cycle for whatever reason as Terran outright loses you games, for Protoss this is not as much of an issue, especially pre-LotV, just look at all the money Zest usually banks before deciding to warp in new units. Plus with the old chrono, even missing build time on key units (colossi) could be compensated. It's not necessarily easier, or less demanding per se, but it's certainly more forgiving (for slower players). Pre-LotV, as noted. Because I have no idea how this changed with the new chrono, haven't offraced yet.

Again, I think you're wrong.

Terran just has to keep pressing A. Protoss actually needs to be aware of what's going on at all times to know IF he should warp in units or not.

If you're excluding fight micro then it's definitely ambitious to say Terran obviously requires more skill.

Such a pointless argument, Dino. Both races are mechanically challenging to play. To simplify Terran mechanics as pressing A just makes you look silly. Suggesting that knowing what is going on is somehow the domain of a Protoss also makes you look silly.
