I was just thinking about the Ghost EMP nerf

This totally changes the HT/Ghost wars

Say you have 1 HT vs 1 Ghost, both at 200 energy. HT has the potential to remove energy and kill the ghost (feedback does damage), whereas EMP can only remove 100 HT energy, and the HT still can feedback the ghost (or even storm). So the only viable option is to either have two ghosts use two emps on ONE HT (waste of energy), or have two Ghosts snipe the HT simultaneously (if you only have 1 ghost, the delay is enough for the HT to feedback). So this means that in Ghost/HT wars, you will need at least two ghosts for every HT (at least in the first engagement). Hope Blizzard took that into account!!!

Protoss is mathematically stronger Late game

say you have both T and P has 200/200 armies.

P can instantly reinforce, T must train the units => P will always be 1 production cycle ahead

Good God , Moki , no offence but you really are bad at math & logic

If they made warp-in time proximity based on the pylons position to a Nexus that would reduce the effectiveness of the reinforcement of forward pylons but not remove the possibility.
The further away you are from the nexi the longer a warpin will take. Basically you could calculate it to be compared to how long it would take to run from a nexus (closest to warpin position) to the actual pylon your warping in on.

This makes the the Warpgate a great defensive tool still and also increases productionrate of good macro players, but it will reduce the strength of the reinforcement potential during rushes.

You could even use the Warp-prism to have a much smaller warp-in area but leave it as it is (time to warp in that is), thus making the harassment tool still viable, but you can't warp in a whole army and you need the tech to actually use it.

Thoughts?
*Edit* just read others have similar suggestions. I think using the nexus as the proximity based structure is better for the sake of the defensive capabilities. There should still be some reason to get the upgrade besides using warp-prism (using my example..)

toss is mathematically stronger late game because of the splash damage from their units. Tanks are similar but marines are a lot weaker to splash than stalkers.
