If they are going to change something, it should be to make PDD more problematic to get so early. In today's games Tassadar could have had somewhat better positioning, but PDD making stalkers useless, which is the only ranged protoss unit seems really hard to get any shots at the tanks. | ||

Most T ground armored units cannot shoot air anyway (and it's the same for Z in fact), so Banshees would just kill tanks less quickly and they are already used with air support or with a cloak "surprise effect", so that's about it. And Thors already rape banshees so that seems to fall in place. | ||

Ravens aren't even needed in the 1-1-1 composition. Lots of players don't even use them, they just go straight banshees and it seems to work just as well. I'm not sure that's the problem of this rush, it's just a combination of factors. I haven't seen today's games so I'm not sure what went on, but I can guess by the sounds of it! Good to see JYP beat DRG, haven't seen protoss win vs a decent zerg for a while. | ||

I think if something PDD should be made less accessible so early. So terran invests in it giving protoss more time/making terran sacrifice size of the attacking army or stalkers are actually doing anything. | ||

Dark swarm is a great ability and Terrans might eventually have to dare i say it think about incorporating it into more builds. Kinda stupid ability if it doesn't stop stalker shots. edit: kinda interesting how expensive so many toss upgrades/spells are that come for free to terran. | ||

Tassadar was ahead by 21 workers and could have definitely won the game had he a-moved his units at the 2nd battle. From there on, FF ramp, build 3 phoenix to lift off the tanks if he was contained and go for the win. Just like Wolf said, Yoda won the first battle but he still had to get to the protoss' base. He lost that game cuz he made a mistake and not because 1-1-1 imba auto win. | ||

Kinda stupid ability if it doesn't stop stalker shots. Dark swarm? Not brood war anymore lolol. But i guess PDD does really fill the role of dark swarm. Never really thought about it that way. And I guess you're right about the stalker needing to have something to stop it in the later game. | ||
