It is considered the tip-top level of play, thus it is weighted the most when considering balance. Only 6 Protoss are in the top 8 in each region, out of 24, half of which are in the US (considered the weakest scene). Protoss isn't strong right now and hasn't seemed very strong at the tip-top since release of HotS. | ||

GSL code A and S GSTL SPL, all the major kr tournament results are not good enough for you to look at the current balance? As I stated, Blizzard has all this data and more. If you look at the top 8 of WCS EU and KR, you will see a total of 3 protoss. If you included NA, that's 6 more out of 24 total players. But I am sure people will spend lot of time quoting stats that prove they are doing just fine and ignoring stats that say they aren't. After all, this is the internet, where we can choose what we want to believe. | ||

If P became a race with more harrass potential we can see the move away from death balls, more army trading, and less 200/200 confrontations. I think other changes will be necessary, but this is good. Perhaps give zealots faster movement from the charge upgrade, but less distance for their actual charge, enabling zealot run-bys akin to those in BW? No every Protoss player is just going to play like HerO (or like a Terran) , drop everywhere while expanding and building up your army of death . Also more 2 base all ins . Yeahhh !!! | ||

Then the weaker protoss players proceed to make protoss look weak. | ||

Then you have the win rates in Proleague where Protoss is dominating. | ||

As if Protoss needed stronger low risk, high reward stuff in this match-up... What other things are low risk high reward for Protoss in PvT? Please enlighten me | ||

You included for example the very P-heavy Proleague, but not GSTL, WCS NA, AM etc. | ||

Look at the overall WCS winrates. Of course the 30 games per matchup in Korea is all we need for balance right? We can disregard the 33 percent PvT winrate in Europe because well hey it's not Korea right? | ||

With balance in mind, I don't think Protoss really needs any help, in the early-mid game... actually, the race seems just fine in general... Protoss already has the strongest early-game allins with warp in, the strongest mid-game all-ins with Colossi, and the strongest late game with Templars, Colossi, Void Rays, and Tempests, I really don't see the race lacking options at any point, giving them easy, early access to speed prism makes a race that already has HUGE straight-forward power multidimensional depth in the direction they want to take that strength. I think it's a hugely risky move and Protoss would easily be the best race if it goes through, but I DO like the idea. | ||
