EPTMaybe allow friendly protoss units to phase through batteries, and possibly even have battery healing provide +1 armor vs melee attacks?

Maybe allow friendly protoss units to phase through batteries, and possibly even have battery healing provide +1 armor vs melee attacks? I think the issue is that Protoss build batteries as a reaction to stuff they scout, but the build time is just too slow for that. If you wanted to be safer against the speedling allin, you would build your battery blindly (basically doing a Forge Expand 2.0), but honestly there aren't enough resources available for that to be a thing. I think a more elegant solution (which would also make Protoss more stable in general) is to reduce Shield Battery build time by like ~8-10 seconds. edit: also, being able to glitch units behind Protoss walls simply by spam clicking is pretty stupid and should also be addressed. | ||

Would make a big difference against that all-in in particular. I wonder if it could even be a bigger change, like 12-15 seconds less, but only if the battery is built in range of nexus? (to prevent buffing all-ins that make use of the battery). | ||

I too would like TvP to become more miserable with every patch meant to address PvZ. | ||

I don't think Protoss early game is fragile against Terran but it's hilariously fragile against Zerg. | ||

For a buff that is explicitly aimed at making defense easier, I think that's quite fine. And shield battery based all-ins are already pretty good  | ||

I agree it's not as bad as against Zerg though. I think those are much easier to handle. You can wall hellions out easily since they can't glitch their way past units, almost nobody has trouble defending mine drops either and shield batteries take care of practically everything else other than dedicated all-ins. Which is disregarding the fact that Protoss can also do stuff early against Terran whereas you can't exactly Maxpax in PvZ. I mean there's a reason TvP win rates are kinda in the gutter for the last few months. | ||

Smooth transition into floating 1k/1k and being behind in army supply as a result. Full Zest. edit: and then dumping said 1k/1k bank in DTs only. Fullest Zest. | ||
