Grant Feedback to Twilight Archon, rather than HT

I learnt from CowGoMoo's replay that, Blizzard is gonna add Feedback to HT with later patch, to counter ghost's EMP round. I don't think it a good idea. Instead of adding Feedback to HT, it would be better if we grant this skill to Twilight Archon. Here's the reason:

1.Just as CowGoMoo said, it would be weird if HTs have Feedback, for ghost is Terran's answer (and maybe the only answer) to Protoss's HT and Psi-storm.

2. It is said that Feedback has a super long casting range, thus, as one of CowGoMoo's opponent said, Terran should use sniper round to counter HT instead of EMP round, and the game turns easily into a tedious micro war, for who throw skills faster has a very large opportunity to win.

3. Although Psi-storm is nerfed, HT is still a little too good. Strom is good against almost every unit of every race, so adding another awesome skill to HT may make it even imba and overused.

4. Twilight Archons are rarely seen in all matchups, so rarely that it reminds us Scout in Starcraft 1.
TAs seem to have lost their position in Protoss Arsenal, for other units, like Collosi, Immortals, Void Rays are doing better.
We may chage this situation if we grant Feedback to TA. With Feedback, TA will immediately find its role as an awesome caster-killer.

5. EMP in Starcraft 2 decimates only 100 shield, it's not deadly against Archon any longer, and with its decent attack against bios, TA will be a very good counter against ghost, and even HT, Infestor,etc.

6.Lorewise, TA is more or less a merger of Archon and Dark Archon. There's nothing strange that TA inherits anti-caster ability form Dark Archon while working as a heavy assault unit like Archon.

Any ideas?

Edit: Feedback is already in the game, I made a major mistake.

Feedback is in the game already, and in its current state it is a pretty unreasonable counter to a ghost seeing as ghosts are invisible and it is single targeted unlike EMP. Not to mention finding a ghost in an enemy army in the heat of battle is far from easy; ghosts look pretty much just like marines AND you have terran air support above them. Also remember that ghost tech is insanely fast compared to HT tech, which is much more expensive.

HT are pretty underwhelming with the colossus in the game. They are still good units but I certainly don't think they will be OP with a better version of feedback. I'd like to see them used more personally.

In the game already? It's a big blunder I missed it. Let me check it out.

I just want HTs to be buffed for no other reason than wanting to see that sweet psi-storm graphic more often.

You missed it, it's been in the game since the first patch. And HTs are hardly "too good".

Nah you're correct, it is since patch 1. And I agree that Archons should get a spell, and IMO it's the perfect spell for them. If not this, than a 1 unit maelstrom.
