EPTI really dislike their trend of removing upgrades. They have now made it so that hardly any spells in the game require upgrades too. Sure they arent exciting or anything but they do provide an important possibility for dynamic play (think marine vs dragoon w/ range in broodwar) or at least for scouting and adapting.

He said that at high level play Protoss doesn't perfom as it should, for normal play the winrates are totally fine. So you agree that Protoss should be buffed to improve the highest level of play, and that normal level play shouldn't be a huge factor in balance. Glad we could clear that up. | ||

instead they want P to play the same way they alawys do = gimmicks. i have played random for a long time now, and Protoss is not difficult to play. i often win by just randomly attacking at +1 with whatever i have vs Z. when they make enough units to kill mine, i just recall. i make sneak bases constantly, in every matchup. recall works on probes == saves my economy. dt warp in == defends far nexus. Protoss is extremely strong and players are simply not taking full advantage of it on ladder. i just think this warp prism thing will lead to all ins 95% of the time, especially against terran. why don't they give us a list of options, we vote for the one we like the most, then we test it. i hate testing the random crap they come up with because i know it's not a good solution before i even try it and confirm my beliefs.. | ||

Zerg drop play is close to nonexistent because there isn't anything good to drop. Zerg drop play is more prevalent in BW and it's not because BW's overlords are better at it. It's because of things like lurkers and defilers and zerglings doing a shit ton more damage. | ||

Thank you for actually reading my post. :B I felt stupid having written two long posts in this thread without an answer to either of them. | ||

Sorry but this is laughable. An upgrade needed for mutas? that's not a buff to protoss that will just mess up zerg across the board...not really relavent here | ||

Warping an entire army it's not harassing... | ||
