Afaik it's a bit misleading because the guy is grandmaster level in LoL or something, he was probably gonna climb up either way | ||

And what make it worse in TvT is how you cannot counter Cyclone with anything other than Cyclone in early game. Tanks was supposed to be the best counter but they got massively shutdown by Ravens, which make the previous change on the Raven (cheaper and can be built quicker) become more favorable for massing Cyclone early. If there was a problem with the previous meta, least in TvT it was Raven dominance, it feels like just swapping that for cyclone dominance wasn’t great. You probably could have nerfed the raven, even it it’s purely in a cost sense so it wouldn’t have been so oppressive in TvT, but still useful for timing attacks in TvP | ||

Chargelot probably can shut them down as well but then you have to deal with the Medivac -Cyclone drop. Edit: Stats look old and slow, whyyyyyy Classic. | ||

You can see right now why this is a losing endeavor. The more Protoss has to rely on Carriers in the late game, the worse off they are going to be. | ||
