Making a spell effective only during channeling has been done many times before for balance purposes. But I'm not certain that is the problem/fix of mothership core.

Why would you nerf the mothership core? It's useful only in the early-mid game, which are already the stages where terran has the higher winrate, most likely higher than 50% too. Protoss wins most of the times only in the lategame, although scv pulls are so popular (precisely for this reason) that we don't even see those kind of games anymore.


It is useful throughout the game because it prevents the opponent from getting the funny idea to basetrade, alone having not to worry about that makes it useful in the lategame.
Oh and Terrans are pissed about the MsC preventing like 90% of their early game stuff, so Protoss can't be slowed down on the path to the perfect composition. So the hate against this unit is understandable :p

yea theres no early-mid-late separate games, it's all one game. if you're safe early you can do more later, more gas. more time to tech to ________??? whatever you want. that was the problem with 50 baneling pre-wm buff zvt

i think the msc is ok but terran should have some more early versatility to make the MU interesting


So you are saying that what makes protoss strong in the lategame is that he gets an advantage through the midgame with the mothership core. But I think the reasons are different, it's more about the power of storm flanks and tempests in split map situations.

Protoss just toss the warp prisms in the air and they can't change height after that ^^


If a warp prism went higher up in the air, the warp-in radius increases proportionally since it works like the beam of a flashlight. A warp prism in space would be able to allow warp-ins across the whole map. Therefore David Kim imposed legislature limiting the flight height of warp prisms to prevent such abusive play.

That's a pretty good example of what we're talking about. The protoss army was completely out of position and a double drop hits. Suddenly the army is there. From a balance standpoint I understand it because they take some time to warp in and can be hit during that downtime. But that doesn't make it a good mechanic
