EPTI don't blame protoss players for trying to end the game early when there is pretty much nothing they can do against late game infestor compositions now that carriers are garbage, tempests go down like flies, and feedback got nerfed in half. Protoss even loses out against late game Terran with the buffed BC and Thor that slaughter skytoss.

Very disappointing that the balance team hasn't made a peep on the subject. If they wanted to win the last WESG, IEM Katowice, GAL or 6 or 7 WCS tournaments? I don’t know ask them? | ||

At the same we have GSL Code S Season 2 with 8 P in RO16, we had IEM with 6 Protosses at RO12, 5 Zergs and 1 Terran. We had GSL Protoss Tournament. We have under-representation of Zerg in RO16 of Code S for several seasons now. We just got rid off a map pool that was so Terran punishing it wasn't even funny and we can't say how will be the new one(and with the speed of Blizzard this won't be noticed until Blizzcon is over). While this whine isn't exactly right, you have much better chances to get monies as Protoss opposed to Zerg or Terran. Especially Terran if we count in the ZP WCS.

Apple is apple and orange is orange I do say we nerf protoss first then process into addressing it's late game Pro players must play alot of late game vs zerg and Terran like about 2-3 tournaments with a decent amount of late game using Stargate tech before concluding anything because honestly reading your whine post about toss late game time and time again is annoying as fuck and why you still havent gotten nuked for doing that is beyond me. it is tenfond worse than zerg n terran full force whines combined If protoss late is too weak then buff it but protoss players gotta prove it first By stop carting zerg and Terran with templarnrobot tech first ofc | ||

Terran one is debatable I guess, Zerg definitely seems to be the case. Vs other whine which is literally any time a Protoss wins a match regardless of how many mistakes their opponent made or how well the Protoss played, that don’t make any kind of sensible suggestions that consider the big knock-on effects those changes could all potentially have. Templar feedback was a relatively big nerf, Carrier was pretty big. In combination when they’re both big components of Protoss lategame vZ, seems pretty sensible that maybe that’s not an area Protoss want to try to go up against Zerg in. That top Protoss players seem to have accepted this and ground out fiendish and ever more refined timing attacks seems very much a tactic acceptance of this and a necessity breeds invention kind of scenario. It’s nowhere near as extreme no, Protoss relied on timing attacks for ages once BL/Infestor matured. | ||
