How come no one is saying what pvt will be like it hots? I mean yea its kind of stupid to talk about a game that's not even out yet but with the new replicator unit protoss has the ability to get a 33 death ball with ht ghosts and collosi. It will come down to the terran emping the toss ghosts lol so the toss could use the ghosts to emp fotter( wrong spelling) the terrans ghosts wile he uses ht to feedback. Like I can't think of a situation that the terrab will come out ahead. That being said in order for toss to get that death ball he has to invest in a lot of tech that might make a timing for terrans to push and shut down an expo. But yea what do you guys think

Are you absolutely sure that armor only affects the health portion of a protoss army??? That doesn't sound right to me.

source?

Really nice to see this changes from Blizzard. And now nerf Snipe for the sake of all the poor Ultras and Broodlords.

Why don't zerg players start using transfuse more? (it does more healing per mana than snipe does damage).

Dammit, now if only there was some mechanic in sc2 to spread creep!

Yeah, if only there was a way!
But to be honest, those creep tumors usually get sniped by terrans and protoss players.
I wonder how mass overlord creep pooping would work though or just transport queens with overlords...

it's true lol. Armor doesnt apply to shield

I looked up the info. It's interesting that the health armor double dips on the shield armor once shield is depleted. I wonder how it will go now that people will be upgrading shield armor more.

I mean yea its kind of stupid to talk about a game that's not even out yet but with the new replicator unit protoss has the ability to get a 33 death ball with ht ghosts and collosi so the emp nurf is actually a protoss nerf as well infact any neft or buff to any unit other that protoss is still a buf/nerf to toss lol so if I was a toss I wouid not like this nerf cus in hots it qwont matter was the radius is cuz toss will have ghosts too. It will come down to the terran emping the toss ghosts lol so the toss could use the ghosts to emp fotter( wrong spelling) the terrans ghosts wile he uses ht to feedback.

Massive... you want massive, look at EMP radius as it is now. Almost 2/3rds of the screen. It just means terran will have to use a couple more ghosts and it will be possible to dodge EMP.

I love how all the terran cry for FG/PsiStorm nerf along with their EMP nerf. Take the nerf like men and get better at the game instead.

It would be kool if they just changed the whole mechanic to require a nuke, and instead of nuking units, you can send a nuke to explode in the outer atmosphere around a targeted area creating an EMP. It would be scientifically consistent. Of course, there would be a slight delay between target, nuclear launch, and emp. And the radius could stay the same or be larger to compensate.

Yeah I don't understand why naming a macro toss is relevant; players do whatever they think they have the best chance of winning with, so if they are doing timing attacks it is because that's what they think they have the greatest chance of success with, and they sure as hell know better than you. .

Who exactly are you to tell them the reason they are losing is because they don't play macro and instead rely on timing pushes?

The importance is that there is less diversity in Protoss players play at the highest level than there is with other races. I can list you players who are Macro Terrans (TOP, TheStC, Jjakji), I can list you Macro Zergs (NesTea, LosirA, Leenock), I can list you aggressive Terrans (Polt, MMA, sC), and I can list you aggressive Zergs (July, Kyrix, YuGiOh); but when it comes to Protoss--players like MC, Alicia, SangHo, Genius, HongUn--everybody seems to fall into that aggressive category of players (or at least the players who have done well). I think that the more we see of Ps such as Sage or Inori, we'll see more and more macro Ps. Hopefully then this nonsense about balance can be resolved and Terran can stop getting nerfed.

Also, as far as the massive amount of Terrans in Code S, look at Code A, Code A qualifiers, and the Korean Weekly Tournaments are primarily Protoss and Zerg, with very few Terrans. I think that the reason why there are so many Terran players in Code S is a mixture of the relative ease of retaining Code S status and also the fact that a year ago, when GSL rankings were originally being won, and the game was relatively undiscovered, Terrans were dominating play. With time, (and maybe a new Code S/Code A system) not unnecessary balance changes, we'll see more Protoss players in Code S.
