We've seen bio (marauders) own mech time and again in GSL. Every time mech starts to come out at the top level something gets heavily nerfed (tanks, thor energy, now hellions) Is this c&c influence or something for not liking positioning based play? I agree with Artosis on the Marauders. In fact, Marauders are the worst thing that happened in SC2. We have Protoss, Zerg and Space Marines. T_T | ||

And why choose mothership over carrier ? Carrier should be a viable end game choice for Protoss and they are so much cooler, especially for bw fans. I wish they had considered caster balance, ghost are ridiculously overpowered versus protoss. Still can't understand why emp is on such a cheap unit oO And snipe is way too strong in all match up. | ||

It wouldn't make much difference. It would be even lesser of an impact with the carriers as they can't tech switch as fast as zerg. | ||

The last thing Blizzard wants is to change things too fast. Just look at the reaction to the infestor buff... What I understand from the report, is that they want to buff both Carriers and Ultras but don't want to do it too fast. | ||

Nerfing Blink for no reason. Buffing the Immortal to hold 1-1-1? I forgot that Siege Tanks do not have 13 range and that marines don't counter immortals. OHWAIT! Leaving EMP as it is, because Protoss is not supposed to win against Terran. | ||

Although fixing them would proly require a nerf to void rays.... Maybe go back in time with void rays.....when they were doing more dmg after channeling and less in actual battle....That way they can keep being used as gimicky aggressive builds vs Z/T and Carriers in late game scenarios instead. That way, protoss has Pheonix = harass Void Ray = aggressive/all ins..... Carrier = late game air Also, i feel like Blink research increase is just stupid. Blink is probably the most broken thing in game (although it can't be flat out removed without some other buffs since P already has so much problems). It should be fixed in some different way...maybe so it doesn't skip the missle already fired to the stalker, or cd on it, or range ... dunno what would help, but blink timings aren't really a problem anymore. | ||

We wanted to try to bring in a unit that’s rarely used back into the action in order to potentially create new viable strategies for protoss. In the end, it came down to a choice between the Carrier and the Mothership. i actually choked on my drink. this is wrong | ||

That's not what protoss need. Protoss need a units that works great in small numbers but suck in large numbers. | ||

i.e. : Shield Upgrade 1 : You take 75 Shield damage Shield Upgrade 2 : You take 50 Shield damage Shield upgrade 3 : You take 25 Shield damage may be that way the most unused upgrade would be used. | ||

That's not what protoss need. Protoss need a units that works great in small numbers but suck in large numbers. Invincible? have you ever used carriers vs vikings+emp or corrupters + infestors? I think not because you wouldn't even say they are hard to counter. Go watch Hasu vs Goody , where hasu maxed out with carriers and goody raped him with vikings. | ||

But really, Blizzard, decrease DPS for all units. You cant make a game slower by adding 5 seconds to Barracks build time. It's nice with Hellion decrease of DPS but what's with other deadly-DPSers like Vikings, Marines, Marauders, Immortals, Banelings. Most of units look like glass cannons... | ||

They decided to just pick mothership. As everyone's saying, carriers are SUPER strong en masse already, so buff the unit that isn't already REALLY strong when you get 6 of them out... They gave the explanation for the blink nerf??? not sure why you think it's no reason Buffin immo to help vs 1-1-1, they said it was to help against siege tanks, not make them an auto-defend 1-1-1 without trying unit.... and ghosts are just really good units. it only took almost a year for everyone to realize that | ||
