Massive units are not affected by concussive shells. If you think they are, you are wrong. It's SPORE crawlers that are being changed, not SPINE. Please read carefully. | ||

Really, why would you nerf thors? Yeah they oneshot immortals after getting an upgrade and waiting for a long time, but guess what. Voidrays still 'counter' Thors because strikecannon does not work on air units and they get a damage boost. I find it sickening that although Terran and Zerg quiver in fear from protoss units, protoss hardly has to fear anything unit wise. If both sides of the spectrum have something to fear, then the match up will be more dynamic because both sides need to tackle eachother to prevent them from getting their death army. Hell, if the Thor was such a huge issue in PvT, it is still slow as a drunk hydralisk on a creepless slope. You can abuse that by... GASP... using the warp prism and harrassing. If only one side has the death army, then the match up will revolve around one race defending and the other one attacking. In ZvT, there is mech which is scary for zerg, and the big infestor ultra/broodlord fleet. Both sides have reasons to fear eachother death-army wise. I hope for TvP's sake that the Thor won't get this energy crap. Its a good thing for a dynamic match up to have units to fear. | ||

Immortals counter tanks super hard, I don't see any reason why immortals MUST counter thors as well. Colossus do just fine against thors if you just get enough zealots and micro a tiny bit. They really don't. See Tyler vs Thorzain...the idea is that immortals are toss' "anti armor" unit, that's how they are designed, and while it's silly that they get oneshotted by thors, i think thor builds aren't common and developed enough to see wether they are a problem or not. | ||

Anyone who has tried it knows they suck hard against thors Colossus are good against everything on the ground, including Thors, Colossus are faster and have longer range and can traverse terrain, 1 colossus can indefinitely kite 1 thor, Colossus also do splash. | ||

C'mon Blizzard.... Other than that, it's an improvement I guess over the last rendition of this upcoming patch. ^^' I have a feeling that Archons will rip apart Muta-Builds (atm. they are IMHO quite strong against Mutas) and Speedling/Baneling/Infestor play pretty hard though, which is kinda bad, but with a stronger Templar-Tech, maybe we'll see sth. else that the Deathball in the Lategame... I don't really mind the archon-buff, but why even think about buffing the strongest and easiest race right now while at the same time nerfing Zerg and giving them a fairly unspectacular little buff?.... And what about those Units/Spells that no1 has been using for the last maybe half a year or year, like Carriers, Hunter-Seeker-Missile and stuff that is being used, but obviously needs a buff, like all the Zerg T3-Units, Neural Parasite etc. Why not make those Units more attractive and let them be used for once, that way we at least see how those Units/Spells can impact the game in general... | ||

Let me see Protoss vs Terran Protoss fears first of all marauders, then banshee and ofc marines :D Protoss vs Zerg Roach/Zergling timings and Broodlords is what comes to mind first tl;dr You're wrong | ||
