phoenix's deal splash damage to air units. bam problem fixed

I think it would be a good idea to give Phoenix an upgrade that allows splash instead of a slow ass capital ship I would never build because if I had that much money/time I would just add more templar.
\

Do you understand how much splash protoss already has? Phoenix having splash would be the 4th unit, and one that can move-shoot in a way other units cannot. Protoss doesn't need more splash damage -_-- I know it can seem difficult to grasp from a protoss perspective, but the minute zerg has a unit to control the map, it's ''overpowered''. don't even have lurkers in the game.

Also, no one wants to face a protoss in the GSL. There's a reason for that.

Fine then make Protoss units cost 50% of what they cost now and nobody needs to splash.

Who doesn't want to face P in GSL?


You clearly didn't watch the Code S Ro16 group nominations. No one wants to face toss right now.


You're right I didn't watch group nominations, I watch the actual games.

Then you clearly don't have the information to formulate an argument, while the other person does.

What? How does watching the nominations mean he can make an argument... the results of the games is what matters... People always claim other races are stronger and that they feel weak etc. The main point is which race actually wins. so imo what players said during the nominations means jack shit the games are the important thing to base an argument off of.

So the guy watching the games imo has more information to form an argument then the guy watching the nominations....

We were talking about whether or not the players in GSL felt confident/wanted to play Protoss players. Read. The. Quotes. Before. You. Post.

If blizzard attempts to balance the game so that more protoss players win tournaments specifically -- well I wouldn't know what to think anymore at that point. Protoss really does not need any more "general buffs." If the winrates are fine everywhere else, except in the GSL, chances are it's not a balance issue, but a player issue.

No. See arguments for the past 7 months. GSL balance is the balance to be concerned with. Not foreigner tournaments where low apm players can't accomplish much.

it's a player pool issue, and in the past a tournament structure issue with the GSL (should be fixed now.) The top korean terrans are just better than the top korean protoss players - that's always been the real "balance" issue in that region.

how is this even relevant? Completely different game

and it's not like terran is dominating outside of Korea.. maybe protoss players should start directing their rage towards zerg instead.

Terrans aren't even dominating in Korea anymore. But they used to be, and that has had an impact. Even if the races are completely balanced now, balance has still affected our perceptions of every player. For example, many terran players may have been placed on pedestals far higher than they should have been. We have heard of so many more terran players than those of other races, because terrans ran so rampant during the early days of the game. There are so many more terran players that a person can name as strong players, just because of this fact. When someone asks where are the zerg and protoss players that should be replacing terrans in Code S and Code A, you have to realize that many haven't had enough of a chance to become known yet. Those obscure names you hear once in a blue moon could have been household names in another dimension where another race had such a headstart.

LOL most of these questions are about protoss being underpowered and most pros are now saying that protoss is OP.

Some stuff that didn't get addressed and should have been:

- Blizzard maps still suck (no depo on low ground, gold expansions, generally bad layout... )
- Bad scouting early game (many coinflip openings)
- Fights are over too quickly (terrible damage syndrome, blob armys)

And generally speaking mechanics do not get rewarded as high as they should be. It's unacceptable seeing pros constantly getting killed in the first 5 minutes of a game due to random luck or players in GM turtleing on 3 bases and doing one big push with their deathball hoping for the best.

Those are just my 2 cents on matters that imo haven't been resolved since release.
I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

I don't know who watched the code s group selections, but all of the zerg players were trying to avoid protoss because they said they can't figure out how to win anymore (nestea specifically). Discussion of a protoss buff at this point, when protoss has been doing perfectly fine recently, scares me.

A lot of these topics are sort of stupid, the SC2 team should seriously question their sources of feedback, I understand they want to cater to everyone not just competitive players, but surely there are much more appropriate issues to discuss than "Terran Can’t Beat Protoss".

To be fair, in the past 4 GSL tournaments (when only looking at Code S games) there have been about 20 PvZs.

Did you watch Dimaga vs AdelScott on Shakuras during the recent HomeStory Cup? All Dimaga did was make mutas and more mutas, while AdelScott went for a Stalker/Phoenix army composition. Personally I don't agree with the choice of going for Phoenix's against Muta play but that's besides the point.

Another game to consider would be Hero vs CrazingMoving's Code A game last season. CrazingMoving gained a huge advantage against Hero using a Muta-centered playstyle but failed to transition out of it after he had a large enough advantage.

Better yet, you have to go around and find pieces of the tank on the map and then bring it back to the factory to assemble it.
