You are making yourselves look foolish. I want to see you warp in "a round of stalkers" to defend against 2 dropships of marines and marauders. Please, be my guest. Not to mention, if you're macroing right, you don't leave your gates ready for warp in--they're on cooldown most of the time. If you don't know how protoss works, please don't tell us how we're playing wrong. | ||

You are making yourselves look foolish. so you suggest killing stimmed marauders with medievac support with stalkers? wow you are making yourself look foolish. marauders just destroy gateway units, wich is why we need amulet to defend against drops. pay attention to the discussion before you make stupid posts | ||

with the zealot buff wouldn't zealots be able to handle drops? they get a guaranteed hit per charge.. add in a sentry or 2 for some forcefields and u should be able to stop minor drops. Well: (a) you're probably not getting charge if you're not getting HT, which you probably aren't because HT are now garbage; (b) zealots are already the go-to unit to clean up drops - charge makes little difference. The storms don't clean up drops by themselves, they just make it so you don't have to pull half your army to crush 2 MMM dropships; and (c) the new charge seems to make no difference. Has anyone seen the new charge in action? If anything, it might be worse than charge as it is *now*, at least against units that are slower than 2.75. The zealot runs up to the fleeing unit, stops to take it its swing animation, gets 1 hit on its dual attack, and then charge STOPS. In some ways this is worse than the run-around their current "run-around flourish" animation. It's good for units the chargelots wouldn't otherwise be able to catch at all, like maybe a hellion or something. Against MM, I think it might be worse. It's certainly not noticeably better in any sense. I don't see this new charge making templartech more attractive or chargelots any more effective. | ||

Im not sure I agree with your core assumption. I think blizzard just wants 1 unit comp per matchup so they dont have to put real thought into balancing a game they're punting on for its expansion. | ||

Testing the degree of templar use post amulet would be great data to have. So stop all the qq and go play with templars on the ptr. Then comment on their viability. They were too strong before and it is possible they are too weak now but how weak is what blizzard is trying to find out. So if people aren't supposed to QQ and are just supposed to "stop all the qq and go play on ptr", how will Blizzard find out that the change is terrible? By the complete silence? | ||

The problem is once protoss gets maxed in a PvT terran has a really hard time to do anything. Its actually easier to do something against the deathball as a zerg player. You cant base race because storms kill off everything so cost efficient , you cant really engage with mass bio vs a deathball. Dropping seems to be pointless as well - just warp in a single templar 16 maruader instant death. If you go for heavy mech style colossi + phenix or blink stalkers are almost impossible to deal with. Iam a random diamond player and whenever i roll a TvP i just do a 2banshee 1 raven 6 tank marines + scv allin because that matchup feels so broken. | ||

As others pointed out zealots are the go to unit to defend drops but charge is on a cooldown. so assuming we are talking about a maurder drop you would get 1 hit per zealot per 10 sec. vs maurder plus medvacs, you might break even in damage vs healing. This brings you full circle to needing HT. the storm allows you to to go beyond that break even point and eventually clean it up. | ||

(and people wont scout it!) | ||

Protoss Late game does need to be addressed and it was a little with the mothership nerf but the amulet was to much b/c it destroys mid game where terran have the advantage. | ||

instead of dealing with real issues that make the game imbalanced (see: marauder) they twitch the bunker build time every single patch like its the source for all the balance in the game | ||
