Are you serious? HTs can make archons, HTs can remove energy (not aoe, I know) *and* remove health at the same time, and they've got the aoe damage. I'd say they are at least equal...

EMPs are really easy. There's a reason you almost never see ineffective EMPs. They have huge range and plenty of aoe so they're basically always good.

Storms are really easy. There's a reason you almost never see ineffective storms. They have huge range and plenty of aoe so they're basically always good.

I just don't like that they bring the templars forward, as if storm were equivalent to fungal growth where the fungal lets the infestor safely retreat. Storm/templar is absolutely a great counter to MMM, even with Ghosts, but you got to engage with your zealots before you storm, even if it means losing some zealots. Don't make your templars the first thing the Ghosts see.


Ugh, do you play PvT? So you would just allow the ghosts some free emps all over your army?


EMPs are pretty meaningless to zealots. It's good to bait them. Feedback snipes are great and all, but it's rolling the dice completely.

Lol, I've seen far worse infestor control than that in almost every game, win or loss.

The problem is that, because of the AoE, EMP outranges feedback by two, and ghosts are probably the most mobile caster in the game.

It's not a balance issue. When you're fighting storms with heavy marine/ghost/marauder, marines are pretty much all your damage. The game can end in a split second for any race - there was a point in that game where ALL the marines were in red for asd, one more storm would've melted that army.

EMP deals its damage instantly though, that has to be mentioned. Its a lot of damage too.

He was breaking off templars the entire time. People saying he should have split are retarded.

Terrans can scan then run up and emp/snipe but protoss has to rely on observers or just walking up templar which end up getting murdered before fog of war clears.


Yeah, 1 EMP eliminating all HTs is the same as 1 EMP for 1 HT exchange... you make it sound like P had absolutely no chance while it was just Puzzle's sloppy play that lost him the game and not asd's ghost control IMO.

no

fuck i'm so sick of people using archons as a reason for HTs good against a ghost comp
jesus

puzzle lost because he failed to react to that drop, he clumped his army and all his sentries got EMP'd (these were the important guys, needed to FF to buy time for colossi) and he tech switched way too late, considering he was on 4 bases

asd played really well too, hopefully puzzle still pulls ahead

EMPs are really easy. There's a reason you almost never see ineffective EMPs. They have huge range and plenty of aoe so they're basically always good.

Storms are really easy. There's a reason you almost never see ineffective storms. They have huge range and plenty of aoe so they're basically always good.

You see bad storms all the time wtf. Terran can run out of them and take very little damage. The difference is HTs are slow as molasses and have worse range so you can't dodge EMPs.

people underestimate how much range matters in this game. Ghosts outranging everything Protoss has is...a problem.

Why don't protoss carry around HT inside a warp prism?

Theres no risk of it dying to marines, they will never get close enough. Snipe can't hit prisms, and terran won't have vikings unless they see colossus.

drop 1 HT, storm, pick up

drop 1 ht, storm, pick up

I don't know how a terran would deal with that without trying to bum-rush the prism, getting into attack range of the protoss ball


I don't think you realize how fragile a warp prism is. There is risk, 5 marines could run forward and literally kill it in a second.


Well, if you get WP speed your WP will always be faster than even stimmed marines so if your micro is absolutely sublime, you can make it work, theoretically.


I'd also really like to see some protoss try dropping/warping some chargelots behind a terran bioball as it's pushing in to cut off reinforcements/help with a surround. The timing window to get the zealots out and engaging is probably super small though.

And also the only caster that is absolutely useless by itself and is only used to counter the use of specific units, mostly other casters.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Ok, this wasn't a 111 roflstomp and asd indeed deserved the win - but when have you ever seen a complete EMP-miss?
Since EMP has higher range than feedback/storm and since HTs move so slowly, it's actually not that easy to miss with EMPs.
