I am more upset as a spectator rather then a player. Get ready for those mc style protoss 4gate all ins!!!!! | ||

So, if Protoss players are supposed to sit around with Templar until they exceed 175 energy to be able to storm after one EMP, Terrans can just sit around with Ghosts until they can double EMP the same spot. EDIT: This nerf still makes it easier to hold ghost all-ins in the early game, which is much more relevant. No more scanning, firing a single EMP, and stimming up the ramp because there's no more forcefields. | ||

Changes to core mechanics to address issues in rush distances which are not even issues on certain maps? =( 30 seconds is just over the build time of a marine. If the change is meant to address timing push X with Y marines, then its a rush distance thing, not a stim research time thing, since the timing would by definition vary depending on rush distance. *Ahem slag pits close positions* | ||

Its a ghost nerf and therefore a small ht buff afterall. Its shocking how a Protoss players manages to QQ about a ghost nerf, while most terrans are like "well, emp WAS to strong, good they start nerfing it". the point is, that a single emp can possibly do 1000 damage instantly, whereas a storm can be dodged "easily". means: you need several high templars until you get the SO ESSENTIAL aoe damage to only fight MMM. when you can't warp in the storms anymore, it's pointless to tech to ht because it is gonna be like gambling. will the T be able to dodge your few storms or will he not? will he get emps on your HTs or not. the conclusion is that you rather go for colossi instead of HT tech, and the T can go for vikings blindly. without the colossus, MMM just shred through any ball of gateway units. | ||

The patch seem to reverse PVT, with T being strongest early game and now Protoss strongest early game | ||

Just gonna fuck up early game TvP and TvZ =/ Pretty much everytime you face a 3rax stim push on any closeposition  . I don't know how you practice, but just looking at your televised games you don't seem to play builds like that very often, and I can imagine people at your level have sublte enough builds to hold them most of the time. As toss you can hardly scout it until it moves out, and if you're a sentry or two too low, or miss a FF you're dead.

(personally, a million) You play alot of games  .-- Seriously though, I can understand it, but at the same time I don't think it was really needed, especially with the new maps coming out. Had this change come out when all we had was Steps, LT, Metal, JB etc it would've felt more warrant. I hope it wont affect gameplay too much at high level. | ||

I wouldnt exactly call ht tech a gamble so much as Collossus tech providing a guaranteed amount of damage. In fact, If I have 6 sentries at full energy if they hit an emp on them I can still forcefield which makes my collossus that much better. | ||

And I can't believe they reverted infestors hp - I mean what's the point? It's not adding "nice micro" or "skill" to the game when you have to completely guess where your opponent is moving to. People can bait and avoid FG as it is in it's current form. Adding the missile animation makes avoiding FGs easier and casting them goes from being quick on the trigger to basically guessing. That's not skill or micro and it detracts from the game. | ||

A high templar needs maxed energy to storm after being hit with an EMP, this doesn't happen outside of bronze league. | ||
