Pretty good Protoss buff. All-around Protoss buff is nice.

Its already hard enough to hit more than 1 infestor with an EMP.

I doubt its to nerf emp vs spellcasters. Its to make emp vs protoss shields do less damage than it does now(They said at blizzcon they werent happy with how much damage emp does to protoss shields). Cheaper upgrades is always nice tho

Your math is off. 1.4.2 EMP's total area is around 7. Pretty big change!

EMP has long needed a nerf. The upgrade cost-reductions, however, are a bit boggling. While I'm glad that protoss isn't flat out being nerfed a great deal due to the recent metagame (protoss just sucking against everything), I can't say that this will make protoss more viable...

Shield upgrades are pretty much useless to begin with, and the level 2 weapons/armor upgrades don't really change protoss fighting against the 1-1-1 early game.

Hopefully the EMP nerf alone will calm the herds of protoss QQers

I don't understand the upgrade changes. The problem was never the upgrades and I feel like this gives an unfair advantage for Protoss.

EMP change is definitely a good one though. No more one sided 200/200 fights.

Buffing protoss seems quite straightforward.

I think they need to implement some sort of anti clumping AI for protoss.

Heh, they actually followed through with the balance changes that they were hinting at during Blizzcon.

Ghost nerf should alleviate some Protoss difficulties, though I guess some people might have wanted a range nerf instead of an EMP radius nerf.

Protoss Forge upgrade buffs are amazing. I was hoping for better upgrade scaling for Gateway units, but a cost buff is great nonetheless.

I can`t believe some people think this is too small for protoss..LOL. I think the changes are fair and maybe too much.

gateway units suck, they want a way for them to be more viable without increasing base stats, making upgrades cheaper is a good idea.

now, all we need is for the stalker attack to scale better (additional +1 for armor like they did in beta)

why does toss need cheaper upgrades, dont they get 3-3 fast enough?

as a protoss player i agree with you lol, the only thing that NEEDED to be lowered in cost was the shield upgrade as it is just so expensive for what you get

glad for the emp nerf but it wont change as much (diameter goes from 4 to 3 now right?) if thats the case then just another 2-3 ghosts and the same emp spread will dominate

or bring back amulet (idc if its a nerfed amulet, it would still help with the emp problem bigtime)

That explains why every protoss is owning up right now in GSL and so forth!

I'm a little curious why they feel the need to make protoss upgrades cheaper. Protoss can already out upgrade every race due to chonoboost, and these changes will just make that even easier
