This is Marauders and Roaches all over again: boring strong units that just do damage while not dying to the first sneeze around them. Why do we even need to have those around? Marauders were even nerfed along the way (while Roaches were kind "nerfed" by how much other stuff has become better), so there is some understanding at Blizzard that a straight-up strong unit is not very fun, so why even introduce another? nerfing adepts, at least the shade cooldown, is so long overdue it's ridiculous. (didn't watch the games, not complaining about balance, congrats to Dear and Myungsik who probably worked pretty hard and deserve their victories, but I've been saying that adepts are bad for the game in their current state for ages) | ||

(didn't watch the games, not balance whining, congrats to Dear and Myungsik, but I've been saying that adepts are bad for the game in their current state for ages) Why do you think the cooldown is the issue? What I see as generally problematic is their standup fighting power - even if they didn't have the shade at all, they stats just seem to be to good. I have recently seen many occasions of them just killing stuff. Okay, sometimes it's after they shade through tanks/libs, but that also wouldn't be solved by shade cooldown, because they need to shade just once to do it. Some people have suggested health reduction and that's what would make sense to me. I still don't get why they do both so much damage and have so much health, while not leaving much for Zealots to do better. It's pretty much like the gateway/warpgate paradox that has never ever been addressed in all those years. | ||

I think in the huge patch this year they will be nerfing Adepts, or at least their counters becoming much stronger. Banelings and Hydras will be stronger, so will siege tanks and cyclones (?) | ||

What I dislike is games ended with retarded 50 adepts attacks that just wreck your eco because the adepts keep shading everywhere (and it can happen in every mu). If the cooldown was far bigger dealing with that kind of harass would be far less of a pain. But I wouldn't mind a health reduction at all, probably on the shields. | ||

It's pretty much like the gateway/warpgate paradox that has never ever been addressed in all those years. I'm one of the HP nerf enthousiasts (so I keep posting it everywhere alongside liberator removal requests) The way I see it: 1. Less hp means shading on top of armies nerfed. It's just numbers, your shit dies faster while the others shit lives longer 2. Ever seen Zergs running around trying to clean up Adepts but just as they're about to kill the last ones a new batch is warped in? An HP nerf done properly will rebalance this as needed (I don't think the nerf needs to be that big) 3. Zealots become a relatively better choice so more diversity I don't feel their straight up fighting power is that much of an issue.

If they would die faster that would also do the trick | ||

No one can ever shitpost as shitty as swag_bro. What a legend. His peak will never be replicated. Shitposting has been in a slump ever since he's gone. No 1 GOAT in shitposting. He will be missed. | ||
