Because it defies all logic of RTS play. You don't just equalize, especially in the middle of a fight, from being 60 supply down. Thats where the balance whine is coming from.


If spells closing a supply lead is bullshit, then spells getting that supply lead must also be bullshit.



Except it wasn't due to spells that created that lead. It was due to baiting in the 3rd, and forcing MC to separate/split his army. It was a great tactical decision by Hack. A pew pew spell that destroys 60 supply in 1 second is not fun.


It doesn't matter how good storm is, or that Hack made good decisions up to that point. Hack is aware of the existence of storm and therefore the decision to press in with weak units was poor. Whether or not storm is overpowered is besides the point. Hack wasn't forced into a position where his army being stormed was the only thing that could happen. He chose that risk on his own.


And thats why hack brought ghosts and EMPed half the templars before hand. But it doesn't matter because all it takes is 2 storms to completely destroy Terran, where as 2 EMPs with its puny AOE barely scratches Protoss.

2 EMP's on a clump of templar kills a tosses aoe.

While it was extremely depressing for me, G3 of Polt vs Hack where Polt holds off a proxy 2 rax while going CC first....

...then losing later due to massive brainfart/going full foreigner etc.

I haven't been following the meta for a while, but I get the feeling that there will be some kind of Protoss nerf after Blizzcon. I'm getting that feeling. I hope I'm wrong though ().

Its hard to pinpoint what makes Protoss super strong right now though. Maybe the core?

It only did that because the whole army had 1 hp due to too much stims and no more medivacs because they got sniped earlier.


je and omg stim is a spell ! xD just that it is bloodmagic and drains health. And no MC didn't win because of the storms, he won with the constant Medivac snipe and he also scouted the Starport to see what was coming out there ... once he knew HTs apperead and laughed at the Vikings.

Mvp has, but MC has that charisma that really propels him with the fans.

Mvp's ability to defy all odds and win puts him in the same lofty heights though.

MVP disappeared when HoTS came out

At that point MC had sniped like 8 medivacs over the course of the game. Had to eat storms like Hack was trying to do when you don't have the healing to back it up.
