You actually can't regen shields if the unit is taking damage. Medivacs still heal though.

It's not really a balance issue in that case, it's just frustrating how incredibly fragile Protoss is, as Naniwa mentioned. One mistake, Puzzle dead. asd eats storm after storm and it certainly hurts but it's not game ending. It's just so much *harder* for the toss. | ||

He didn't miss any window. He actually overextended his push into asd's stim and combat shield finishing. When he tried to kill asd's third it was impossible because his templar on the high ground all got emp'd. The templar he split from his army. Just face it. There's literally no way to uproot a dug in terran with bunkers, who's scanning and running up emp'ing your energy and flying off his buildings if you actually break his siege lines. There's a reason there's 17 terrans in Code S and everyoen in up and down so far is a non terran. | ||

Would like to see earlier colossus switches and just more colossus play in general. 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, emp is devestating to zealots, as it is to every single protoss unit. Not so much. 50 shield with 0 armor, as opposed to 100 health with 1 armor. It isn't even a third of their health. It obviously isn't a positive, but it's a lot better than even your Stalkers getting EMPd. If a unit is going to get EMPd, you want it to be a zealot. But if you want to roll your HTs in front of your army in a ball, like a baller, you go. But your stalkers will get emped, as will your zealots, sentries, immortals etc. AND then due to the way these battles go (terran engaging and RETREATING, kiting the zealots) the HT will not be able to get storms off, and your 1/3 or 1/2 health army will get rolled by MMM. MAYBE the ht will get storm off, but if they are behind your army, it will most likely be onto zealots. | ||
