Otherwise they'd reduce it's cost by same 50/50, cause there's just absolutely No reason to make it worser than before | ||

There will be people whining for -each- patch. Just remove 2 races, make only drones for each race and let them fight. Seriously. There is a change. Learn to use the most of your changed possibilities as you can instead of whining. | ||

(Yes, I know there are other ways to counter void rays, but they all involve either making a push or giving up map control, as far as I know.) As it stands, Vikings do frightful damage against Colossus and Void Rays, at longer range than any Protoss unit, and because they don't take a Tech Lab they build very quickly. I don't know if that's unfair; I tend to think it's a little over the top considering they also have a ground mode which does quite good damage. It's hard to use air/colossus against Terran (unless it's the Phoenix, which is light) except as a VR cheese because 28 damage/range 9 is so sick.

Wtf do you want your ultras to be as fast as speed lings? gtfo. In BW, Ultralisks were nearly as fast as speedlings. They were the second fastest unit in the game. On June 02 2010 08:50 Dekoth wrote: Protoss still lacks any kind of counter to EMP. EMP was perfectly balance in SC:BW from a defense perspective because toss could utilize shield batteries to mitigate it somewhat. Lack of this strips away defenders advantage and turns 1 ghost into a 1 man wrecking ball vs toss. Before anyone argues feedback, I dare them to post multiple replays of them successfully and reliably feedbacking 1 ghost in the middle of a bio ball. Especially if it is an early to early midgame push. Clearly emp is fine for toss aggression, but there needs to be some form of base defenders advantage. Right now emp just straight strips that away instantly. Ghosts are very hard to see, even uncloaked. This is a problem given their importance as targets. Units also clump more, hiding units that need their shields/energy in shuttles is harder now (Vikings are much more maneuverable anti-air than goliaths, and have more range + burst damage), Ghosts are lower tech than Vessels were, and EMP costs less mana. EMP is quite a bit scarier than it used to be. | ||

Ultralisk is moving in the right direction at least, but still costs too much to be useful. | ||

How about like range 6 instead of the ridiculous range 9? Zerg changes are meh Agree with you completely, viking speed, range, firing rate is pretty damned good for a multi-purpose unit. | ||

I hope they remove them or make them AoE. As it is now, these spells fit better in WC3 that is much more micro-oriented. corruption isn't hard to use and can show immediate results when going corrupter vs viking and for FF'ing down thors. tbh i think it's the bee's knees, since the spell and the past dmg buff might have made the corruptor the dominant AtA unit. i also like it because it gives a way to micro the corruptor, maybe it's spammy but at least it's something. frenzy, i don't know what to think about it. i haven't used it much and can only theorize it optimally going w/ roaches and ultras and being very microintensive if trying to stop fungal growth from another Z. i sort of agree with you here but maybe only out of ignorance | ||

As of right now, I just rush Terrans. There is a chance that will go bio-ball, or some other beatable strategy, but I am thoroughly convinced that nothing the Protoss has can deal with Tank/Viking/Hellion. | ||
