With this amazing instant AOE spells dealing 1000's of shield damage, shouldn't a T bio army with JUST ghost support NO vikings be able to contest a P army with colossi straight up? Yet, this is obviously not the case, the P army would still steamroll the bio army without shields. Colossi deal far more damage over the course of the fight if they are allowed to remain up, while all the EMP damage is frontloaded. Additionally, having 7 Colossi is better than having 14-21 ghosts. You only want enough ghosts to EMP the army + templar. My point is that the armies are very different and the units are very different. T is expected to EMP everything. Not doing so is a loss. P is expected to either minimize the effect of EMP OR brute force some AOE through, either 1-2 storms, or having enough colossi. | ||

This is probably the first patch that doesn't really have any effect on zerg other then I guess the upgrades being cheaper but not worried about it wonder if the emp nerf will effect the pvt match up. | ||

I think everyone can agree that Ht's currently are mediocre, to say the least. I would go out as far and say every protoss would actually take a heavy colossus nerf in exchange for a reasonable templar tech route. Templar (dt / ht) play in general is way more fun to play and to watch than colossus. But the Templar paths are currently to expensive for what they bring you, making everything involving them currently extremely volatile. | ||

This patch won't affect anything at all basicly...protoss will still get blanketed in emps, and having cheaper upgrades is lolz when P get upgrades super fast anyway. honestly atm the ghost is just too good vs P/Z..snipe vs BL/kinda ultras(i know it takes like 16 snipes for a ultra, but that point is very stupid to make when T also has marauders or qued snipes) and emps/snipe vs protoss army/HT. | ||

Wonder what the point in this change was. Again, post a replay or a build or something instead of this meaningless nonsense. The idea of a triple forge build doesn't pass the smell test, so you need to back it up with something we can actually analyze or you just sound silly. On the face of it, on equal bases you should die to a two-base timing while you're waiting for three upgrades to finish at the same time. Toss die waiting for 2/2 all the time, the extra investement in a third forge and the shield upgrade just makes the army that much weaker. | ||

Also T didn't even notice how good emp was for a while, and was doing just MMM + vikings and still winning games, and then ghosts got found out and now here we are. | ||

I haven't seen a GSL game in which the protoss went colossus/gateway and didn't get completely crushed. Once the colossus goes down to the vikings, they are always easily overwhelmed. | ||

With enough Vikings, Terran can win that engagement assuming no storms or EMPs. Vikings snipe Colo while the MMM kite back the zealots. Except this is actually ridiculously hard to do at lower levels. | ||

Yea. I'd be fine with HuK whining, MC, HerO, Tyler, JYP, Sage, Puzzle, Killer. But not people on TL. Protosses on ladder do not need a buff. only Protosses in tournaments. Most of the evidence for this claim is my thoughts and my Zerg practise partners thoughts, but also the race distrubution on ladder. P is at least "balanced" at all levels except the top, where Z/T micro has no response from the P player. The most annoying P whiner is probably InConTROLL. | ||
