They could have fought the last engage from the low ground, at least there's that. Honestly herO lost like 12 workers to a mine drop early on and then should have won the game if not for a few mistakes. I don't think that bodes too well for Cure. | ||

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. | ||

Tanks on the lowground supporting marines on the highground makes sense. But I can't understand how the fuck the opposite would ever work. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Yup I think Protoss is gonna go through a real dark age now. Its late game is helpless vs both zerg and terran (to a lesser extent) and their midgame just got a solid nerf i think a enhanced shockwave "rush" is gonna be a thing now. get it in the midgame instead of the lategame. The damage output against protoss is insane and it neuters high templars | ||
