I was hoping the collective IQ of the Blizzard design team was above 80, I guess I was wrong. They might as well get rid of Protoss and replace it with palette swapped Terran units. | ||

I just dont understand why they are limiting the creativity of Protoss so much. Noone thought this was overpowered. It is on noone's list of most hated strategies in the game. Forget about cheese, it is such a useful mid-late game strategy to test the multitasking of a zerg or terran much like terran drops are. Oh well at least the 111 will be 100% countered by the replicant. | ||

It's the same thing Really terrible double standard here. Removing an essential game mechanic | ||

The high ground warp in was great for harass IF you had vision and the terran didn't scout the perimeters of the base = / So basically it was a useful harass strat if the terran was caught off guard. All the people on here complaining about cannon rushes and 4 gate from the low ground are scrubs. 4 gate in PvP is bad now on almost every map. In every other matchup, 4 gate is not even an issue. | ||

So, you build a Stargate and use those units to spot. Or you'd research hallucinate use hallucinated air units to spot. Either way the idea was to get around the Robo Bay. This changes forces Protoss to go down more tech trees, and unlike Terran who does this anyway to get Medivacs for their Bio, this is very costly. A single Warp Prism costs 400/100. A better solution is simply to switch races if your play is dependent on this kind of mechanic. Terran cheese is still incredibly powerful and relatively unaffected in HOTS so far. | ||

A better solution is simply to switch races. But you could use the Robo for other things, and depending on how you used the WP, it could either help you out or just be a waste of money. Yes Robo's not gonna be as amazing as it used to be, but since Terran might use more mech, Immortals might come into play more seriously. | ||

What a joke. Protoss doesn't have to be screwed even more, it's actually the opposite. | ||

By awesome strats you mean 3 gate Void ray, 2 gate cheese, 4 gate, and cannon rushing? You can still do all you're cheeses anyways, just with a lot less power. This encourages more warp prism use, and less abusive cheese. | ||
