So blizzard supposed to give up on lesser players? its just to prevent ladder shyness , even after months we still have "I cant ladder because of blah" threads in TL. I can't understand how and why someone would dislike such a thing. People keep saying "number doesnt mean shit , leagues doesnt mean shit , just go keep playing and get better , your gameplay is all that matters" then hate on blizzard for some hiding numbers to encourage newbies? uh.. | ||

Same for HTs of course, but Ghosts have superior speed, and cloaking that helps a ton in that situation. | ||

I really was not expecting a BC speed buff. Quite a large one at that. | ||

Regardless I'd think if you have infestors out then MM is the least of your worries. Plus it now does +30% to armoured, i.e. marauders. EDIT: ok someone says you can dodge it. It's definitely dodgeable. | ||

What I'm saying is, the game should be balanced around what people can do at the highest levels--what you said has nothing to do with that. If MC was using Templar effectively, and smashing everyone with the Archon toilet, you might have a point. He's not, so your post is basically a non sequitur. Hardly, Jinro used mech in very situational plays, and in the engagements in was fragile as hell. MVP had perfect positioning with a maxed out army and got ROLLED by protoss, it was ridiculous. And that's to mention voids or carriers were never used, immortals were gotten extremely late, and there was almost PURE siege tank, meaning almost any small group of air would have forced him to unsiege --> get rolled harder. | ||

My point is it is a win-win situation because even if you can't pull off EMPs you can just retreat you Ghost(s) and leave Vikings to shoot at Colossi. You can always abuse something without (or before) engaging in a battle. | ||

Anyone happen to catch day's recent daily of that Intotherainbow vs. some protoss where he built only marines except like 3 ghosts in the very late game? He basically crushed the protoss with only marines. How would you guys feel if they kept Amulet removed but made all casters start at 60 energy instead of 50? | ||

I would happily take a nerf to Colossi if I could simply use High Templars more. | ||

Just when I was accustomed to getting HTs much faster, sometimes even skipping Collosus vs Terran (which can be risky if they do a good Stim timing, you tend to die especially if you have an expo without ramp to defend) this happens. Meh. Not sure if Blizzard understand the insane amount of tech required to enable HTs + Amulet... I'm obviously excluding standard stuff like Gateways & Pylons, assuming you have to choose Robotech or HT tech. That's 150/100 (Twilight Council) + 150/200 (Templar Archives) + 200/200 (Psi Storm) + 150/150 (Khaydarin Amulet) = 650/650. That's only to enable the use of High Templars. Ghosts only require the Ghost Academy (and Factory I suppose) and are good to go, together with a Tech Lab on a Barracks, granted. | ||

You will never find a Protoss player that doesn't secretly hate using Colossi, and wishes that he/she could use a different tech path. Unfortunately, Colossi are simply the best choice in 99% (post patch: 100%) of situations. I would happily take a nerf to Colossi if I could simply use High Templars more. I used to be in denial about hating collossi. But now that I am going to be forced... Yeah. I hate collossi. I have always felt that protoss as a race is inbalanced. I'm not saying overpowered, i mean it is not a balanced race in its literal meaning. Things like collossi are so so powerful, but gateway units are so very lack luster. It was a similar problem when everyone was complaining about void rays, they were inbalaced in that they did huge damage but died so easily. So I would gladly take a nerf to collossi for a buff elsewhere. I also feel the same way with forcefield, that it has too much importance compared to the rest of the army's capability. So I would also take a nerf to forcefield for another buff. But thats a discussion for another thread. | ||

Maybe they can give us some of the 123582085902 terran have. I wish they would make some of those upgrades with a purpose | ||

Am I wrong, or vortex essentially beneficial to the opponent now? I didn't think toilets were all that prevalent, they're difficult to pull off, and if you're in that situation, you've probably already won anyway. The nerf to HT's is too much. It renders them useless after the first engagement with them. Terran going mass bio can reproduce his army insanely fast off 3 base. Protoss cannot afford to waste the 44 ingame seconds to wait for another storm in late game battles... at least that's my impression. This makes collosus the go to unit now, which I really despise collosus play, it's just boring IMO. I would have preferred a damage nerf, or a range nerf. If this ptr patch is goingto be the final form of the next patch, I will not use HT's Fungal Growth a missile... so it's useless against blink stalkers in any league higher than gold? Not sure I understand the buff's/nerfs to FG. I thought it was great, but perhaps I wasn't paying attention. I like all changes to terran. Now I can actually use BCs. Also, two rax is a bit more difficult to pull off... but it's still going to be pretty strong. Salvage is hilarious. I can camp a zerg's ramp, kill his expo... lose nothing if I run home and salvage. Also... spine crawler? I'll just auto repair lol | ||
