They used to get them because every zerg would get swarm host sooner or later.

They're so expensive but they lose utility without Zerg going swarmhosts.

With a mostly Blink-Stalker + Archon army, why not research shields over armor? When you blink back Stalkers you have only taken shield dmg anyway with good micro and Archons obviously don't really benefit from armor at all.

To be more exact: HT + Immortal better against Viper + Ultra which is the way to go after the patch
I Protoss winner, could it be?

In fact, people get shields most of the times.

Because Templar/Immortal is just stronger and more versatile and without Swarm Hosts you don't need the consistent damage output.

I get shields after attack in PvZ! I feel very smart for it.

PvZ has suddenly become one of my favorite matchups to watch, very surprising how entertaining that game was.

Because Zerg have gotten a lot better in the later stages of the game so Protoss want to stunt their economic/tech growth with scary 3 base Blink pressure. Going Colossi lets Zerg get away with too much greed. Late Colossi transitions aren't too great because you need them in large numbers to be effective, especially when Zerg can crank out so many Corruptors/Vipers so quickly.

he lost on Vaani where Soulkey stole the game and on Iron Fortress which is the best ZvP map in the pool (and also fantastic for roach/hydra)
I'd say that herO has a better idea about PvZ than you.

3 base blink is not the only way to play PvZ, it's just the best way. And lategame PvZ is almost a free win now once you get the endgame composition.
