I always thought of Tempests and Stalkers as quintessentially Protoss units. Controlled properly they deal damage with near-impunity while opponents flail around helplessly. Miscontrolled they collapse like a house of cards.


I agree with stalkers.

But ever since the Tempest nerf (lost both its durability and a good deal of speed it gamed from its previous patch) I havent seen them really do anything at the highest level even in the hands of players like stats and neeb...except for classic's tempests rush


Tempests are definitely weaker (as expected from a nerf), but with perfect control they are just as strong as they used to be. As long as they outrange everything else they can still kite, the nerfs to speed and health just raise the control bar and punish mistakes harder.

Which I think is a good thing, personally, free damage/units/etc just aren't good design. Everything needs a drawback.


They are not as good as they used to be even with perfect control. Their current speed tier is pretty useless and doesnt make up for the massive durability nerf they got. They get caught easily now.

I think the speed tempests were broken, but i dont think the durable ones were.

As long as he manages to stick to 90 workers and doesn't 'accidentally' make an extra twenty...

He's won a TvT on 112 workers before


Yeah... but nevertheless being saturated 36/16 on some of your bases is suboptimal.

The more important question is : were tempests ever entertaining to play, face or watch? No, no and no. They're perfectly fine in the dumpster.

Well that was Cure's map pick.

But hey maybe Cure just doesn't want the grand prize of playing Dark in the next round.

I agree, durable Tempests were fine. But first they traded health for speed, then Blizzard decided that was OP and nerfed speed. So now they have neither. And while they are 100% weaker than when the changes started, it's not enough of a problem to justify buffing them, so they're stuck being weaker.

That's just the way that the balance cycle works.

It really does not matter. Neither of these 2 has a chance vs Dark in a bo5.

I really don't understand what Cure was thinking, he didn't proxy anything and still expected to get a hard contain on TY's natural? Was he just gambling that TY went triple CC or something?
