Warp prisms are the fastest, cheapest, and toughest drop ship in the game. 2 storms will kill an entire mineral line. 8 zealots will force an insane amount of micro and units from the terran. Terrans never have turrets or defense in their main vs toss, yet you never see warp prism play. Just because protoss doesn't harrass because they have no need for it doesn't mean it's bad. i think most people share the opinion protoss harass is the weakest, it's certainly gotten a lot better over the past few moonths though. this was discussed @blizzcon, and used to justify some of the changes in hots | ||

Im talking about a 2/3 base situation where it actually matters, storm drops are super risky and only possible in the super late game and at that point terran usually has so many ccs anyways that it doesnt really matter.. And 8 Zealots yeah, they can scare away an eco line and kill 2 supply depots, awesome. | ||

Saying that a max vs. max with a small upgrade disadvantage is an automatic gg is ridiculous. If Boxer had 3/3 and Creator had storms it would have been an even worse crush. Lategame TvP feels extremely broken right now, and you can't say Boxer played that badly he engaged fairly well he had ghosts, vikings and a small number of medivacs and got destroyed. MMA said in an interview, that against toss, you need to play aggressively, opposite to playing passively against toss in BW. However to say that in an any matchup (except for mirror matchups), and both macro and not pressure each other and expect both players to expect both players to have an almost equal chance in winning is weird, as each race is play differently for a reason. just an opinion, i don't know | ||

I think we need to give P more harass options and T stronger late game deathball. Then the 2 sides can choose the strategy they want. Now, if P decides to go late game. T HAS to pressure. As a Zerg player, I'm going to step out of this argument except to note that "you are hoping for a mistake" is Idra's line, from the time where Zerg was the UP race. | ||

Protoss is weak in the early game, Protoss is weak if you force them to split up the deathball, Protoss is weak against EMP. The races are meant to have different strengths and weaknesses. It's what makes SC2 so dynamic. | ||

Agreed. When sitting in your base doing nothing with 40 apm gives you a huge advantage it just doesn't seem fair. | ||

Hmmm toss would have to weary of the 1/1/1 in a map like dual sight sometimes, or a strong 1 base push from a 1/1/1, I guess? | ||

It was true in BW, too. It's an inherent part of the race: Better, more expensive units. Of course their deathball is the strongest. | ||
