They can't get it faster, just a little cheaper (He saves 75/75, that's not even 1 stalker more that he will have) | ||

3/3 still comes at the same speed, the protoss is just able to squeek out an extra unit here and there AND still press the upgrade key. =) | ||

Actually, idk, saving that 150 means they can forge sooner; as well as continually pump the upgrades, given the gas is what normally held them back, its cheaper, so 2x @ a time w/chrono? :p | ||

Now it'll be much more attractive. I'm not sure if the Weapons and Armor cost decreases were necessary, although we'll see how it plays out. The EMP nerf is great. It was always ridiculous how you could instantly deal 700 damage to the enemy's army with a single spell. The nerf might be a bit much, but it's a start. Yeah, another reason you don't see much shield especially in PvT is because you already know it probably shields become pretty worthless against emp, and getting archons that can be instant killed almost in PvT is no good... :/ | ||

Sure, Protoss get a discount of 375/375 in total and shields get more attractive, but it has no effect on your upgrading speed - the time is still the same and if you were basing your strategy on upgrades, you were getting those anyway and a small discount won't change that. It just allows you to add a few extra units along the way (think 3 zealots and an archon), which is a subtle, suitable buff. I hope you're kidding. I dunno if you know the current meta game, but lots of protosses get 3/0/3 in like 15 minutes with double chrono forge build. This buff is going to make tvp ridiculous...@_@ | ||

Today I played 14 games against Protoss, none made an expansion, always cheese or bust and that's how it works since 1.4 Don't know what league you are playing in, but that's standard in EU Diamond. As a Protoss player, I have to say that all the changes are incredible stupid and Protoss are viable becoming a low APM a-click race. Of course you could play creative, but cheese and turtling is so efffective. | ||

Considering Z has large quantities of units vs the quality of P, and P utilizing a lot of splash units vs Z (col, archon). This makes those units hugely better; given they hit harder and are harder to bring down. lol, he ment the changes won't affect PvZ as double forge stinks in that matchup. It still does, so the early savings will be really minimal. In PvZ you usually get 1-0 into 2-0 into 3-0 and you'll only be saving 75/75 on that, armor and shield still do very little for what they cost here. | ||

I agree, since ground units all get the same upgrades, they should be more expensive.. (carapace is more expensive than the other two upgrades) And Yes I play Toss... | ||
