Also, lets not forget that Protoss has the warp-in mechanic which helps tremendously late game. Guess Protoss needs to spead out late game and not put all eggs into one basket. | ||

The colossus didn't last long enough against the vikings, and having a upgrade disadvantage and no FFs make gateway units almost completely useless. DeMuslims composition was simply superior in every way. White-Ra had Colossi and Immortals. What AoE did DeMuslim have again (besides EMP)? I guess it's a double standard when it comes to TvP EDIT: archons, not immortals, oh wow I feel like a noob now haha | ||

Until then us Toss are going to have to spread and engage better, and the skills we'll pick up regarding army control will be useful to have in a variety of other situations | ||

No, I was just not including EMP because people are saying White-Ra had no AoE when he had more AoE units than DeMuslim. I just think it's odd that people are saying White-Ra needed more AoE to try to explain the incredible lop-sidedness of that battle | ||

Between drops and mass EMP and the occasional 1/1/1, it went from my best matchup to terrible lately. same as before tbh, didnt face any 1-1-1 builds yet but i doubt the immortal buff is gonna make a difference(thats only if u open 1g exp because ud only have enought time to get out 1 immortal before the push hits), that being said im sure the immortal buffs factors in much more if u open with a robo > exp b.o the problem is and always has been emp, it just does way too much damage.. u know something isnt right when one of ur fundemental upgs is comepletly useless in a mu(shield), the fact that blizzard came up with a spell that completly negates such an important upgrade like shields is mind-boggling, its so counterintuitive | ||

I just think it's odd that people are saying White-Ra needed more AoE to try to explain the incredible lop-sidedness of that battle This is because Protoss is not the same as Terran. Gateway units are much less effective than Terran units at raw DPS (Especially with upgrade disadvantage). However the trade-off for this is that Terran armies are exceedingly compact, thus making them much more vulnerable to AOE attacks. This effect is compounded by the fact that a marine has only 45 hitpoints (post-stim) which makes them far squishier than zealots and stalkers. Also, EMP does a ridiculous amount of damage to Archon based armies. One hundred damage is more than storm does if you stand in it for all four seconds. This is particularly effective versus Archon based armies (which White-Ra's largely was) who can easily rack up shield damage very fast from multiple EMPs | ||
