The only unit that deals with mass zealot warp-in effectively and cost/supply efficiently. I don't get why you guys keep talking about the lategame. I strongly believe this won't affect the lategame at all. | ||

Except you have to "reload" a speedvac. You do not need to do that with a speed prism. Rofl, I'm off that game, goodbye. | ||

Give it some time, if it breaks the game they'll remove it again. Protoss thought speed medivacs were impossible to deal with when HotS started. Terrans will figure out a way to deal with the new prisms. | ||

For context the warp prism speed is in a similar speed range to these units: Infestor, Swarm host & no speed roach (on creep) Stalker Banelings (speed) Corruptors Ultralisks Vipers Slowlings Additionally remember, vikings have 9 range and deal 24 damage per shot to a warp prism thats 8 shots to kill a prism. Also in phasing mode its immobile so if you found a warp prism in phase mode and set your viking to attack move, the viking would get 3 shots before it's out of range. If you micro'd the viking so after each shot you moved closer to the warp prism you can get as much as 6 shots (that should reduce to 5 shots with the patch). But this is just 1 viking ... 2 vikings should be enough to bring down a warp prism. It takes 5 seconds for a unit to warp in assuming vikings engaged a warp prism around the time a warp-in happened. 4 vikings would stop the warp in. Stimmed marines can run faster then a warp prism so they would work out much better for killing a warp prism. Missile turrets deal 24 damage, so it'd take in total 9 shots from a turret to kill the prism. So a combination of these three should do quite well at bringing down any warp prisms. Also, when was the last time you saw a terran being pulled apart by speed warp prism drops? This upgrade isnt as good as the speed prism. its sort of a mid ground buff. Edit: Dont get me wrong it's an intresting change and might add some more potential to the warp prism/protoss harassment. But i really dont see this having too big of an impact. | ||

I think if protoss is on 30 gates, and has the bank to use all of them, you've made a mistake way before this happened ;D | ||
