+ Show Spoiler + trolling. but really, as P is still bitched at by pros and random ladder kids alike for being easy and OP it always makes me laughs to see stuff like this. yes, i know my race is OP and all i do is a move, now can you GG out and move on to your next 60+% winrate matchup against me? | ||

I believe this is what generates the hate for toss race, toss with no game sense can still do reasonably well. Just compare the skill level of toss vs zerg/terran in GSL, you can tell that playing toss doesn't really require a large skill set (you just need to be very good at certain stuffs). I hope HOTS can solve this issue though, making toss less of a "ball of army" race by giving them units with higher efficiency in low numbers. | ||

I also think that the longer games in TvP are decide by good EMPs, wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of change to it. I am tired of hearing about the player skills. Every fucking time there is a clear evidence that Protoss sucks, it's because players are shit. Every time Protoss perform well, it's because Protoss is OP. How retarded is that argument? If the statistics show more than 800 games, how can you talk about outstanding players? Isn't this stats for all games? Truly terrible argument. PS MC is better than Polt. Period. | ||

And why are there so few Protoss in GSL? I hate this argument, apparently the "easiest" race is the least represented and does the worst...because..."just case" Or maybe it is just because you have no idea what "Game sense" actually is and vastly underestimating what it takes to play Toss at a high level | ||

Toss with no game sense can still do reasonably well because of warp in? That makes so little sense it hurts my brain. The ability to make small sets of units instantly doesn't allow you to have no game sense in any fashion. Like, none. The Zerg mechanic actually lends itself a lot better to this argument, as popping 30 roaches when you have no army and you see an attack coming seems to show a lack of game sense more than warping in a pair of stalkers and a pair of Zealots to try and beat off a drop. I don't think Zerg takes no game sense, just saying the conclusion you are trying to draw is easier to do with Zerg than Protoss and Zerg is super-duper hard right? | ||

You still need very solid mechanics and control to play a high level whether it is to hold off a roach/ling attack or using high temps against ghost and infestors. But you're right about the lack of game sense requirement. | ||

You can theorycraft to get around the hypocrisy all you want. I can complain about other supposedly negative aspects of game design all day, some that, if fixed, would actually benefit Toss. For example, why do bunkers get a refund at all? Doesn't that eliminate the need for good game sense as well, since a Terran can just make bunkers whenever he feels he might be unsafe, at relatively little cost if his game sense is off? Are Blue Flame Hellions, a unit that can end a game with one good shot, good game design? I could go on and on, but whatever. The fact is that people are being all careful and intelligent about balance now saying "Now, now, let's let the game develop before calling for a nerf", when a while ago the moment KA seemed to make PvT imba in favor of Protoss, everyone was crying for the KA nerf. | ||

People complain because protoss are OP late game, but until 10-15 minutes you make a mistake you're dead. | ||

High Templars got nerfed because Blizzard didn't want Protoss to be able to instantly kill anything in range of a pylon. And really, you brought up the colossus? Something that hasn't changed since beta? I mean shit, I'm going to start complaining that Protoss players whined and my Concussive Shells now require an upgrade. | ||

Remember, players like Rain, BitByBitPrime weren't Protoss. They got where they got not because of their skill, but Terran being so flexible with their strategies. They have a lot of units that could be genuinely good. Forget about the helions, they still have a lot of other units which will be further explored. PS It's interesting that both Artosis and Idra played as Protoss (in their spare time?), yet besides the complaining, non of them switched. If the race is so OP, just switch it and destroy nerds everywhere. No, it turns out it isn't that easy. The only memorable product of that BS is the famous "the Artosis pylon" =) | ||

The last three pretty much looks the same until you get it in your face and they require completely different composition. People complain because protoss are OP late game, but until 10-15 minutes you make a mistake you're dead. Protoss are stronger late game. That's just a fact because otherwise we'd have shitty early, mid and late game. They aren't OP until they get around 12+gates, 3 robos, 2 stargates, a huge bank to spend and are making 3 colossus 2 voids and warping in 30 supply a cycle. | ||

Switching races at the pro level is extremely difficult and balance changes could occur anyways during that time. It isnt worth it unless you hate the play style of a race. | ||
