Plus you could also argue that due to proleague rain wasn't even able to play much hots before mlg, so no wonder he looses to something new. | ||

From the games i have witness there was many times the zerg/protoss got very lucky and almost sniped a medivac at a cruel point within the game. I just feel like medivacs as a whole right now, are way too cost effective. Decreasing their hp will give players an opportunity to punish terran player's drop-play mistakes. Right now what i'm seeing is protoss/zerg get into beautiful positions to punish medivac play but the terran always gets away in the red, every time. By decreasing the hp will shorten terran's window for reacting to pulling out and time for them to do damage within a base before the army returns to defend. | ||

I wonder what Creator did to you, that you hate him that much. ontopic: getting 5-6 phoenix sounds good first, but the dps is way too low to kill medivacs before they got to drop out their load. And after investing that heavily into them, you may not have enough to deal with the marines. I haven't seen it being tested, but that are concerns I would have with this strategy. If you have good experiences with that strategy, then others should give it a try too. | ||

the game out since less that ONE WEEK!! can you get that in your brain ?? why the game would need any nerf anywhere after this much litle time ?? you realy think you are that amazing for know thing like ''medivac need a litle nerf or they are litle to much powerfull '' well excuse me , but most people here are a bunch of newbie who dont even know what strong or good or what balanced. you guy just see the BEST of the best korean owning some foreigner at a tournament and cry ''imba'' imba'' while the korean pro gamer protoss were doing damn fine vs these drop , and anyway nothing would have change if they did die like noob vs them , they are ''NEW'' you need practice vs them , learn how to counter them and so on . stop with your nerf nonsence and learn how to play ( yes strangely this game a rts game , where you need understand build , counter and so on , when something new come out , you need to LEARN something again , crazy right ??? ). again , MEDIVAC are fine , mine are fine . learn the game , stop whine , thx very much | ||

But I think this pigeon-holes the number of strategies available, just because Medivacs and Oracles would be way surperior to each other unit. | ||

MC did that against Bogus in game 3, and didn't lose anything to drops, but just died to a straight up push, because Stargate+Phoenix delay tech and expansion timings. That's why you didn't see a lot of Stargate openings in PvT in WoL, While Oracles may change this somewhat, thus far they seem better at all-ins than actual harassment. I guess that's part of the problem with Protoss, every effective harassment tool is even better in a Warpgate all-in. | ||

Edit medivacs stupid autocorrect oh god this is hilarious and yeah i agree, no one is even playing hots style, at best it's a WoL + some mix of units maybe, only MC's PvT looks new | ||
