They need something that can create a mixed composition and this ability would allow it. If you can't micro the unit like bio its not worth the investment when bio is so cost efficient. I believe it would be better to give blink to hellbats. Let's call it "xXx_JUMPOFDEATH_xXx" so that it's cool. | ||

Solution: -Protoss can only warp in units on a pylon energy field which is X amount (this would need tinkering with) of distance from a Nexus. -Units can still spawn via a Warp Prism anywhere on the map. However, reduce the warp field (not sure a good number) of the Warp Prisim, but increase its carrying capacity by 1 or 2. | ||

The protoss can just warp in units right outside your base during an attack where as zerg and terran need to spawn them from their bases when they, themselves, are are attacking.

Better nerfs would be increased warp in time, increased unit cooldown, increase warp-in animation size so fewer units fit per pylon, etc... The goal of changes should be to maintain or increase differentiation. Protoss is the teleport race. You don't change their teleports. | ||

At the risk of turning the Protoss screen into a mess, why don't Protoss warp units warp in around a warp gate field? Since most Protoss use warp gates to simcity their bases anyway, it won't affect their defender's advantage, while making offensive warp-ins more invested (or more prismatic). | ||

TvZ is at 13-12: 52% TvP is at 6-4: 60% ZvP is at 6-23: 21% The race distribution in Code S currently is (P-T-Z) at 11-5-8 with 2more P guaranteed out of the last four Code A Groups. Up to 6P, 5T and 3Z can still make it, 2of the Ps are surely gone. | ||

I think a lot of people don't realize that Zerg has just as hard of a time vs Protoss as Terran does. Yet we get silly patches that buff Terran vs Protoss which in tern nerfs Zerg vs Terran. So now what is going to happen is Zerg will have a low win percentage vs Terran AND Protoss. I'll never understand the thought process behind these patches when Terran didn't need to be buffed, only Protoss needed to be nerfed. | ||

Actually problem was mainly TvZ an not TvP, so patches were directed correctly. Protoss was in slight disadvantage on both matchups last few months. | ||

Well, one thing is for sure, that PvZ hasn't been any problem in the last year or so. It's been a little up and down for both sides, but the winrates of aligulac and the highest level of play, as well as the racial representations were good. For TvZ, it has been a little more off in aligulac, but the winrates at the highest level were consistently very good. Zerg peaks are around 55% like in season 2 Code A, with Terran also having its share of 55%+ winrates (but less often). TvP has looked better in aligulac, but in Korea it has been around 21-33% in multiple tournaments (proleague, Code A season 1, this seasons qualifier) while Terran peaks are at 50%. At least on GSL/Proleague level it looks like TvP is a massive problem and TvZ a small one at best. At least at that level, Protoss hasn't been at any disadvantage at all against Z/T and is the main reason for the low Terran participation. (79% winrate in Code A season 1 --> Terrans in Code S dropping from 11 to 3) | ||

(79% winrate in Code A season 1 --> Terrans in Code S dropping from 11 to 3) What will be sure is that we might see some 80% win for T in wcs/gsl for a couple of months. But imho it will be more a sign of terran getting back in the game + zergs in adaptation period more than imbalance. But I pretty much expect a lot a zerg cry for a long time in ladder. | ||
