Welcome, you’ll never truly be a hundred percent lurker ever again!
Yeah I had a complete break with the game for years, no playing no watching. Feels nice to have my passion back and be around others who share it

well its because you wont see it works everytime even when your base is near UED earth or right next to artanis's toilet.no actually its really burst in some maps and you can thank uncle blizzard for that kind of map pool in order to archieve thier precious 50% winnrate

this must be the third time you saying this and i am fully aware of it thanks to you and your GUTS buddy
now its time for dem pro protoss players to prove that by actually playing late game PvZ.this match up was much less shitty when protoss were trying void ray tho

Why would they? This isn’t a matter of Protoss players not experimenting and even trying to play late game, it’s the late game they had figured out, is not very good anymore, which is 100% related to balance changes and not meta changes. Carriers are worse, Templars role in zoning out Vipers/Infestors to a degree with feedback is one they don’t fulfil as well.
If Stats, if anyone is that ‘straight up Protoss’ went from employing late-game oriented games against Serral at BlizzCon to never even throwing in a single game in a series against anyone anytime recently (that I’ve seen), maybe it’s just not very smart to do?
If Protoss had a ground-to-air unit even nearly as potent as a Ghost, then yeah theoretically sure. Past a point vs Zerg in lategame they have to take to the skies, and have done in the past prior to balance changes. Parasitic bomb is pretty good when most of your stuff is up there, especially if those units aren’t as strong as they used to be.
Which I don’t even mind all that much, some of the worst periods in the game have involved air blobs.
Terrans have some late game super comps that are extremely hard to get to, or borderline impossible depending upon the level of play. Nobody is saying, for example mass fully upgraded BCs is an easy goal to get to, but in games where players do get there they are bloody good.
GUTS?

really ? why not because of the two bases all in build is so strong so protoss can just straight up kill zerg in mid ーnear late game and skytoss aint super strong as they were for protoss to continue abusing it ? but skytoss being underpowered because they got nerf is another story that almost exclusively comes out from you and that guy on this forum without good amount examples to back up cuz your idols are way too busy massing immortals.
blizzard were right at taking terran s fang in early game two times to force them play macro game on certain maps and whatever the current state of macro game TvP is,its a good data for next balance step instead of doing blindless balance change based on wall of texts coming from some random folks like u
so no! i d think skytoss aint OP anymoar but i disagree with every single comment saying that skytoss is underpowered.macro pvz and tvp need to be solved first.2 base all in gotta go
//also u dont need to know the manga character guts cuz i m sure there is one person knows what I mean

I don’t dispute that Protoss all-ins are too strong though, there could be tweaks made there.
I don’t see why you have to be so abrasive, I’m not saying anything pros don’t say, or don’t tacitly acknowledge by not playing for the lategame vZ.
You don’t fix balance by looking at issues as they are, you consider what else can happen if you do make changes.
Some of the worst periods of all of SC2 came from balance changes intended to force macro games, because they’re more ‘legit’ or something. Queen buff may have helped Zerg deal with bullshit aggression, but it also let Zerg go to the lategame BL/Infestor styles super quickly and we know how that ended up going.
Toss players may dispute whether they’re too strong in the areas they’re strong in, I think they maybe are a bit, I’d say the majority will say that their lategame vZ isn’t good at the minute.
A nerf to PvZ timings if you overdo it is a straight up nerf to Protoss as things stand if you don’t do anything else.

Where's the patch or at least balance discussion thread started with the "blue post"? We're waiting fairly long while Blizz is silent, the research isn't going very well it seems...
