Dropping behind the min line will be really tough to deal with, especially with muta being obsolete now. Muta play isn't obsolete..... DRG and violet both used it in IPL5.. and the increase in speed doesn't increase health or drop speed, so having a careful spore ring can still kill the medivac before it can unload fully Edit: zomg jinro <3 <3 <3 | ||

Observers being able to go directly over a widow mine makes it so much less of a pain in the ass to deal with. I really think they should limit widow mines to ground only. Considering they're the only Splash they have left that works against Air outside of tickling Thors i don't think so. | ||

Muta in ZvP and ZvZ is still alive and well, ZvT is definitely a different story. | ||

DT's are to low risk now, I have played in 4 late game ZvPs now where they go double Warp Prism DT play and for the amount the Zerg loses relative to how much the protoss spends seems a bit much. Also those oracles.... Why build pheonixes anymore? | ||

For every raven you have you basically get a free massive unit kill. Also the fact the Raven gives detection and gives 2 other awesome abilities. | ||

Also those oracles.... Why build pheonixes anymore? How were you approaching the lategame in those instances? The Protoss still spends quite a lot for each individual DT, the gas investment for the shrine is a bit less though so it makes it easier to add into your tech I guess. DT's were previously a bit too high-risk all-or-nothing units in a lot of cases. Perhaps you're right and they're a bit too low-risk now, but at least we've kind of established that and can maybe tone them back down somewhere in the middle. | ||

I'm not saying I didn't make mistakes in the games, however, you'll be dumb not to build a DT shrine now in late game ZvP, even if you don't see vulnerabilities in the Zergs defenses. 100/100 is nothing in late game, 100/250 kind of made it a hard choice. | ||

It's good there's lots of options for Protoss but there's also now a bajillion new all-ins that can kill you and are unscoutable. edit: I can't imagine how bad PvP is now | ||

I didn't mean to say your lategame ZvP sucks or anything btw  I was more wondering if you were doing Inf/BL/spine kind of stuff, which would be exposed by this change as I see it, or were trying different lategame compositions.I'd have preferred some kind of DT upgrade personally to this end, that would make investing in them a risk, but making good players able to use them more cost-efficiently. Maybe something as simple as a little speed booster a la the medivac has, although a lot more toned down in terms of the numbers. | ||

Turrets are good, it's a move that allows you to use excess energy on your ravens if you have the apm to do it. Better than Neural Parasite (Which only works when a Protoss screws up big time). | ||
