The problem is straight-up nerfing Protoss for PvT imbalance (if there is any) will make ZvP like 10 times worse than it is already. Imo really what Protoss needs is some structural changes that make harass and taking a third easier (earlier splash damage or more effective units in small numbers). | ||

Idk, they need something early game definitely to balance it out vs. terran and zerg, but then lategame it becomes really hard to win against a toss. | ||

In late game ZVP, zerg has the advantage. Protoss has no composition that can effectively deal with infestor broodlord, all zerg needs to do is to use infestors/corruptors to zone out the mothership and the zerg can just attack and kill bases without any resistance. Nerfing protoss in the late game will create an even bigger problem in the PVZ match up. I don't think there is THAT much problem in late game PVT at the moment. At least not enough to justify a change. There hasn't been enough time for the metagame shift to solidify, and a change simply cannot be justified before that happens. In the mean time, Terran players need to figure out new tactics that they should use to face late game Protoss, instead of just crying about balance. For example, try dropping with low energy medivacs to prevent feedback, building extra orbitals to scan and anticipate for the colossus/templar switch, or even trying mech. The point is, stop saying its imba because the old style doesn't work anymore, look at what happened with the ghost nerf in late game TVZ. Before the nerf everyone was like "this is terrible and it will completely unbalance the game, there's now no way for terrans to deal with broodlords blah blah blah", and after it came out what happened? Turns out "oh I can just make some vikings and drop a lot" and the match up was completely fine. | ||

That's usually how it goes. Also, statistics are useful too. And Protoss have been statistically the worst race, so I don't really see them getting nerfed anytime soon. lol. | ||

Its just stupid how better than your opponent you must be to beat him. I hadnt played Terran since the emp nerf and its just plain out stupid now. The truth is Terran got nerfed because protoss' were crying so bad and they didnt let the meta game stabilize back then. tvp would be pretty balanced now if emp had proper radius and took away all energy. (not shileds, energy) | ||

pvt is different, but i feel like luck is more of a factor - which bothers me slightly all this talk about 'having to be so much better' than your opponent to win (in any matchup) is just senseless rage that doesn't belong anywhere | ||

Games rarely get to the point where you can afford spending that money on it and already have ghosts out.. its also rather situational.  ..I've been trying to get it into my gameplay recently though! :D Cheers Dan | ||

I haven't seen any of the weekly KoTHs they ran for points in months, was it just called off and I missed the announcement? | ||
