fungal growth + hold key is a gift to the zerg players. but not like a christmas gift, more like one of those gifts you have to give your wife after you've cheated on her. Brilliantly put, my man... haha. | ||

You dont have to build a fusion core to get +2 air as terran and you dont have to build a greater spire as zerg to get +2 air either though you do need a hive and it is more comparable.For late game air tech AND +2 upgrades, each respective race requires: Pylon > Gateway > Cybercore > Stargate > Fleet Beacon 850 Minerals 450 Gas Pool > Lair > Spire > Infestation Pit > Hive > Greater Spire 900 Minerals + 150 for 3 Drones 700 Gas Depot > Barracks > Factory > Armory > Starport > Fusion Core 850 Minerals 450 Gas In short, stop it. Conversely +1 air can be got extremely quickly with just a cyber core though. | ||

Meaning, the way it was originally designed made much sense, if you want strong(er) air the game was designed in a way that makes you "want" the beacon anyways - carriers are unlocked by it and rays get their awsome speed upgrade. Now it's just strange....though definitely not gamebreaking or anything. EDIT: also the fusion core originally unlocked the cloak for banshees, something very balanced that I still not understand how Blizz can take this away and make a cloaked flying unit easier available than a cloaked ground unit | ||

Now with flux vanes removed it's just a bit odd that you need the beacon if you want +2 rays, I doubt anybody will ever build the beacon just to unlock this tech-possibility.

Toss needs a twilight council if he wants +2 "anything-but-air" - so yes, it does makes sense, one additional building that you "maybe" don't want (vs terran yes, vs zerg...not necessarily). Toss has got two, the TC for forge +2 and the beacon for air +2. Again, previously this made sense, now it must look like somewhat silly design for somebody who doesn't know the whole patch-history. | ||

There is currently no strategy in this game that can't be beaten by being the better player. | ||

Someone actually mentioned this in game during one of my placement matches and after playing about 20 games, I have to agree. Maybe it's because I'm only in silver on the regular server, but it seems like I can only beat people who are like 2-11 and in bronze, whereas I'm beating upper gold players on the regular server. Probably because Joe Blow average noob doesn't know it even exists. Only people who care are good players. | ||

I mean they removed speed void rays and the ability to wall off with two pylons. All of this happened without much QQ, almost the entire thread of the original PTR thread was zerg users complaining. Top protoss players are also too modest when it comes to balance. Top protoss players like incontrol and nony are the last ones to cry imba,whereas for zerg they have the very vocal idra and artosis. After all is said and done, they revert zerg changes after only a couple of days and while they kept the phoenix buff, they still removed two huge aspects of protoss (pylon wall and speed rays). ** throws up why would you encourage whining? i think they are fine changes and i am a toss player. so it takes 3 pylons to block instead of 2. this way it is still possible but wont happen ever game. and idk much about the top lever for speed void rays, but i never say them all that much except in that guinea pig game. | ||
