I just want to listen to it go down. JP needs to send detective Artosis down to the TSL house and find out the inside scoop as to whats going on there and how they all feel about EG/puma. | ||

Thus in game related items Tyler seems to dominate and with him the very protoss-centric view on the game. Artosis is a great addition and Leah isn't bad, but Artosis has the same role as Sean and Leah the same background as JP. So where we had 2 players and 2 non-players before, we now have 1 player and 4 non-players and that shows. Get 1 Zerg and 1 Terran pro in (e.g. Destiny and QXC). You need more players in my eyes. Artosis is still a player. And as a former zerg he tends to be rather unbiased. | ||

Listen, I have nothing against Leah or whatever she does for the community, but she clearly knows almost nothing about the game and it's really hard to listen to, especially when she tries to formulate an opinion about balance. Everyone else on the show, or who has been on the show (for the most part), knows about the game because they are either pros or commentators. Leah is like... a media pundit or something, she brings nothing to the show but a mainstream perspective. That isn't necessary bad, but it's a niche roll... if you get what I mean. | ||

He is in America so he would be fine timewise. He actually knows something about the european scene, including WC3. Honestly, I actually like the new people, but a problem that has annoyed me forever has been how little they know about European players. DeMuslim would change this. I think he would be an awesome addition. Yeah, having an european as a regular would be cool, specialy since Demuslim is in America soon ( or already ? i don't know ) But since he's from EG, i don't realy know the implications. | ||

When I heard Leah suggest that Archons should be armored units instead of massive, it was like someone put a stake through my brain.

The saddest thing wasn't that Leah suggested the archons to be armored (although this is pretty sad), no it was that no one even talked about it. I hoped that Tyler or Artosis would bash this idea to the ground. But there was just nothing. Not even a mimic from anyone. | ||

Yeah, I don't really see the huge issue in that regard, I've seen quite a few players utilize warp prisms well enough. They have like 10 less technical health than Medivacs(100 health, 40 shield) and 1 less base armor. They're also just as fast in terms of base speed and have an additional speed upgrade on top of that. Different races, different units, all that stuff, but I don't really see how the warp prism is a piece of shit in comparison to the other races options, maybe I'm missing something. | ||

Yea I don't think the warp prizm's problem is the unit itself. I just think Protoss don't really have a unit that that really use the warp prizm's potential. There's just no real unit suited for the kind if harass that reaver shuttle did. | ||

I wouldn't call it a "piece of shit", but it's nowhere near as good as a medivac. One of the largest advantages of the medivac is that it's a useful backbone of your army. Since you're building them anyway, it's only natural to attempt to drop with them (and it also just so happens that terran has great droppable units). If they don't do alot of damage, it's fine, they consolidate right back into your army. With the warp prism, you're making a unit dedicated to performing a drop. If the drop doesn't work out, you're out those resources in alot of ways, as they don't synergize with your main army. It's for this reason some people believe that the warp prism should be buffed in some capacity, to make the drop harassment more likely to be successful if your control & planning is good, to allow people to justify that initial investment. (although honestly I don't think the problem is with the warp prism all that much, but moreso the units you would drop from them). | ||

I think that there isn't really an issue, it's a dedicated harass unit that can effectively turn into a point of reinforcement. I've seen a couple of players work wonders with HT(Storm), zealot and DT drops, but yeah, dropping standard units is less effective in general as the Protoss army benefits quite a bit from being in a ball. I think it's pretty fine overall, sure it may not be used as often as the medivac, but it can be a massive game changer in the right situation, with a single round of warp-ins if an army is out of position since it serves as a point of reinforcement. | ||

I feel as though I just rambled, so let me know if this doesn't make any sense -_- TLDR: Make warp prisms 40HP 100 Shields instead of vice versa | ||

Imagine a Medivac without the healing. Now you know why a WP is so bad. Besides the warpin this unit has no powerful features, and its even worse than a Medivac at transporting units. Less HP, less Armor, thats only the "icing on the cake". The real reason is the absence of the synergy with the gateway army. MM stimed and healed by a Medivac can do a lot of damage, there is simply no way any protoss unit can do that kind of damage. If the WP was doubling as a shield battery, I would make one every game, and drop like a madman. | ||
