In the 1.3 PTR, Broodlords cost 300 / 250 to morph........ instead of 150/150. I hope this change doesn't stay.

As a D+/low Diamond player, my grasp of the game is far from ideal, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but in Brood War:

Templar Archives also allowed access to Dark Templar, providing the Protoss with a means to maintain some form of pressure on the opponent while researching Psi Storm and waiting for High Templar to have the necessary energy (because Citadel of Adun/Twilight Council, Templar Archives, Psi Storm research and getting Templar takes quite a bit of time and investment to get a return from) which is not available to players teching for High Templar in StarCraft 2.

Also, there's these differences:

BW Marine: 40 hp./WoL Marine: 45/55 hp.
BW Firebat: 50 hp./WoL Marauder: 125 hp.
BW Ghost: 45 hp./WoL Ghost: 100 hp.
(Not that anyone would try using bio against High Templar anyway in Brood War)
BW Vulture: 80 hp./WoL Hellion: 90 hp.
BW Siege Tank: 150 hp/WoL Siege Tank: 160 hp.
BW Goliath: 125 hp./WoL Thor: 400 hp.
Zerg stayed mostly the same, except that they have Roaches now.

BW Storm: 112 damage/WoL Storm: 80 damage

(Stats taken from the StarCraft wiki)

So you see, Storm does less damage, while most units have more life. And given that the tech path provides fewer alternatives (Dark Templar, Dark Archons (not really...)) what was true is Brood War is not necessarily true in Wings of Liberty, so your comparison is, unless I am mistaken, flawed.

Did everyone forget the the HT in bw? They did not get the ability to start with storm either and they had to take 50s to build like all the other races instead of being able to just be instantly warped in anywhere like they are now. Yet dispite this they were still used in ALL 3 MUs and played critical roles. Now Does the amulet nerf make HT useless now? No! Does it make them harder to use? Yes! The nerf now mean that you have to plan when you want to warp in your HT and when you want to attack.
