It could save PvZ from becoming the horrible turtle fest it has been threatening to do ever since swarm hosts got popular. | ||

Terrible idea. This would only buff the protoss early game and toss doesn't need stronger all ins. 100/100 is a small investment after the 10 min mark anyway. When i look at the best protoss players i feel that they just play bad if you compare them to innovation/flash since they don't use the warp prism at all late game when in theory protoss is able to harass much better then terran players. I mean how ofter do you see players fly around with 2 warp prism late game? That would wreck most of the terran players. | ||

I'm sure you guys have been seeing this too, but we're noticing Protoss slightly underperforming at the highest level of play especially in Korea and Europe I disagree with this statement. Consider all the protoss players that have qualified for Code A and are making ways towards Code S. I'm pretty sure by the time OSL starts we'll have a rather racially balanced Ro32. And to top things off, we have "PvProleague"  Sure, no protoss has won anything yet(closest so far is Naniwa 2nd place at Dreamhack), but I can't blame the Code S results for Protoss on balance. First up, going into the season, Protoss was already heavily underrepresented in the Ro32. Then roughly half of the protoss players dropped the ball and played incredibly poorly, getting knocked out. By the time we reached the Ro8, there were two protoss players left, sOs and parting, and they just ended up getting outplayed by their zerg opponents. | ||

How the shit will speed prisms affect Immortal all-ins? You use them for picking up Immortals, or warping in units (if you're bad and didn't place a pylon) so how is speed supposed to make a difference here? | ||

EDIT: A less whiny version of this is that if Protoss early game is actually going to be buffed, can we make them less dependent on Colossi/HTs so it's not just going to be a powerful Protoss through out the game. Besides, the Warp Prism speed buff will definitely help Protoss late game as well, so why not weaken late game Protoss as well. | ||
