They should go on and start nerfing that Snipe (cost more or less damage). And when they're at it, reduce that range so it matches Infestors/HT's - only then the Ghost will be a balanced unit IMO. If you ask me, Ghosts got downgraded from "overkill" to "just OP." EMP still does gigantic damage + energy drain + reveals cloak + higher range than other casts + comes from T2-ish tech route. There's no way that Terran got the same treatment Protoss has. | ||

Looks like you've only been reading the "positive comments only!" thread. The threads that don't censor the discussion have shown an enormous lack of confidence in what P is being given. Multitudes of reasons were given. It's consistent with the quote in my sig. David Kim doesn't concede that P should be "given something in return." So why should we expect anything in return? | ||

Look at the precious graph you posted earlier, protoss hasn't suffered nearly as much as the Zerg has, the gap in the ZvT graph is of cosmic proportions. You seriously need to realize that Toss is not the only race that has been suffering. | ||

Yes, this change does remove gimmicky protoss play. But hello? Have you ever played protoss? Gimmicky play is what the race is all about and it's what I enjoy about it. Forcefielding ramps, blink stalkers all-ins, proxy DTs, you might hate those tactics, but I'm happy they're in the game as they reward ingenuity. Even the new expansion units are purely gimmicky, do what gives Blizzard? Just nerf offensive warp-ins by adding vulnerability to units that are warping in instead of making pylons impossible to use in fun and clever ways. | ||

My point is that, as mentioned before, everyone is going to go through that stage, i played zerg during the first year of SC2 (random now), trust me when i tell you that i've been pissed at blizzard more than enough. But it's stupid to think that blizzard is just holding out on some "fix-it-all"-patch because they want toss to be shit and terran to be superior. | ||

There's nothing intentional about it. But Blizzard just has a completely distorted view on balance. We are lucky as hell that they use statistics, imho they are the only thing keeping a minimum of balance. David Kim's own ideas and reasoning are completely off the mark. | ||
