That's all of your mech units o.O Top 3 Terran QQ. about the mech: I'm just comparing the races. the P buff will also affect PvZ. and btw, there are also people who play pure mech or marines + mech vs P.. just calculate how much it would cost to upgrade all the 3x2x3 +1 (building armor) = 19 damage/armor upgrades to have a fully upgraded biomech T army, whereas the fully upgraded "dream PvT" protoss army will just need 3*3 = 9 upgrades | ||

Well they are different units or do you want them to be the same? Ghosts got a single target dps ability and they start with 25 extra energy if you upgrade it. As do infestors if you upgrade the +25 energy and templars used to have it but it got removed due to the combination with the warpgate mechanic. | ||

That isn't very fair, you can nydus in way more units in his base then you can drop in with a medivac, and while it's up you can keep sending units through it. Besides it's not like Zerg doesn't have other options to drop  .Nydus are not used enough, I admit i haven't used any in my last 20 games ^^ | ||

yeah because you cannot build nydus outside of your opponents base... wait.. srsly you could make runbys way easier and connect bases etc. Or you have a Nydus at his 4th base, to harras the third kinda like a proxy pylon with the possibility to retreat. Later if he moves out you plant another one, so you can attack his siegetank line from the back and the front. Possibilities are almost infinite but you will propably never see that. Plus what is that crap about if you order the drop its gonna drop, you can retreat back through Nydus. And if it gets spotted no one forces you to press "Unload"... Oh and I have played about 300-400 Games as Zerg. 1. Nydus aren't free. You sound like Incontrol. 2. Their build + unload time is way worse than a medivac. 2. Medivacs serve a significantly useful purpose other than transportation. | ||

Look at HP/SP distribution of Protoss units. Also buildings are 50%/50% HP/SP, so +3 shields ( is basically 1.5 armor for 675/675 minerals/gas (+ 570 seconds). | ||

Upgrades to me -.- So you need 3 Upgrades more. Not 10. BUT you must take in account that no Protoss unit has Armour on their shields from the beginning, thus they have a maximum of 3 on it, not like a Unit that starts with say, 1 Armor that has 4 When fully upgraded. So to sum up you need 3 more upgrades as Terran but they fully affect 100% of your HP as compared to: 3 less Upgrades with slightly worse effects. That leads to: It doesn't matter for god's sake you cannot say that Protoss is OP because of their Upgrades, that is like saying terran is OP because they can repair. It is part of the race design. As long as it works well with the rest of the game it's fine even though it is different. | ||

No, I don't want them to be the same and I'm refusing to replicate non Protoss units in HotS (most stupid idea ever...). I'm aware that due to warp in mechanic +25 energy from the start might cause trouble, but why totally remove it and not change it to +25 max. energy? Still, Snipe in TvZ is too strong IMO. | ||

Medivacs serve a significantly useful purpose other than transportation. Once again you refused to read my initial post. Because of that I will sum it up right here: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT THE NYDUS IN HIS BASE, YOU CAN PLANT THEM OUTSIDE OF IT AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe you will understand it this way... I was saying that you can use them set up for flanks, for expansion harrassment<- your units can even retreat once your opponent is close to your base, this way the runby-force will help in the fight. since you clearly never thought of these options, (you only talk about inbase Nydus) you are welcome. | ||
