At 10 (+2 vs light) A banshee still kills a queen 1v1 but the banshee is left with 23 hp as opposed to having 41 left since the queen gets off 2 more shots before dying. It would minorly decrease the effectiveness of banshees against zerg, be essentially the same in early game TvT and make the all-in less powerful. I would not nerf the banshee any further than that. | ||

I'm assuming it's the marine, tank, banshee and scv all-in? | ||

If it did block all (or at least more) ranged attacks like old-school DS, you could perhaps put it on fusion core or armory and reduce the aoe a little to make it late game. I'm sure that would completely break the whole damn game (TvT for one), but still. Regardless I feel like PDD doesn't get used enough for how awesome a spell it is. This is literally the one thing people do with it. If blizz does decide to nerf the 1-1-1 by nerfing the PDD, it'd be nice if they did it in a way that didn't render the spell completely obsolete. However, as a protoss, I would probably have to change my pants if they did give stalkers instant shot. EDIT: Also yes, I actually don't think a PDD nerf would solve this. The push is scary as hell even when it doesn't come with any ravens at all. With or without a PDD, its another variation of the 1-1-1 build that Protoss is going to have to account for to defend the all-in. In my opinion if your going to do a 1-1-1 all in build there should be just one build to rule them all with minimal variations that the Protoss should be able to counter without exerting godly perfection defense which currently relies a bit of luck and mess up from your opponent. | ||

Would Carrier+zealot work? I uhm... dont even know what I'm saying anymore. Carriers take a ridiculous amount of time. Bliz kinda overdid the whole Hey you should use chronoboost thing with them. edit: lol a carrier metagame would be pretty sweet. | ||

Pissed off that sC lost to Taeja of all people, and double annoyed to see that Yoda apparently 1-1-1'd Tassadar out? Poor guy's been the victim of so many of them since the up and down matches. Glad Ganzi smashed fruitdealer though | ||

Poor Tassadar if so, held out of code S by it, and now again. Also JYP nice! Didn't expect, can someone give me a rundown of those games? (Tassadar's & JYP's) | ||

Mothership, carrier zelot might do something  | ||

Or fall behind. | ||
