I meant the game analysis and comment that people seem like they do not watch game at all actually.
Please watch the game, try to understand strategies and moves of progamers and make comments about the game instead of whinning.

Honestly guys, leave Protoss alone, they are already in a tough spot.

ok so that's colossi. I'm quite happy.

Didn't you read Penev? The party line is that it isn't happening, not that we deserve it.

if wolf were here he'd talk about how big 4 player maps are cancerous to the meta
good thing artosis has us covered here didn't Artosis agree with Idra on the hate for 4-player map randomness sometime in 2011? Or maybe that was another caster, it's been a long time
4 player maps do feel a little more stupid in LotV because builds kick in faster, so you can get really unlucky. For example, on Frost even with a pylon scout if you find a zerg last and he's going for a 12 pool you barely have any time to react which kinda sucks, in WoL/HotS the game was a little slower.
Then again we're talking about Idra in 2011 so...

i personally like the 3 base gw upgrade/colossi style way more than mass gateways now but maybe it's just me

Well Toss players get to complain when Terran BS in form of Libs rolls out (another retarded unit that seems to be a band-aid fix). And i feel like often times Protoss gets to be aggressive with prism adepts while safely expanding behind thanks to the mothership core. This just seems to be against the basic concept that u need units to defend an expansion (or two). Like the terran definitely cannot leave their base as long as the prism is around so theyre bound to some reactive style while protoss can do whatever they want for the first 10 minutes. This is obviously exaggerated but the core of it somehow seems true to me. Sure on the other hand terrans never expand behind medivacs or liberator harassment and zergs never expand behind muta harassment. Oh wait. And at least regarding TL moderation, the whining about Zerg and Terran put together doesn't come remotely close to what Protoss get, despite the fact that Ultras consistently kill Terrans once they are out and that ZvT was actually very Terran favoured until recently (and could still be in Korea). I don't think the heart of the complaining is about the existence of powerful harassment tools for Protoss, but rather the perceived degree of ease with which their race handles many things: macro, early-game defense(especially), and late-game army control. Seeing, in a TvP, how Protoss presses F and clicks on 2 Pylons in their mineral line to destroy a Marines-Widow Mine drop, while an SCV line gets slaughtered by oracles if it is left with no units in position, is understandably infuriating, imo
I think u just phrased this perfectly. Thanks dude

when did the switch back to Colossus happen? I though liberators with range just straight-up win against colossus armys

hmmmm people have been toying with colossi in pvt since lotv began. Against libs with range you just transition.
