Doomdrop from Terran is exactly the same, you're still committing half an army. A 10 supply drop from Terran is still more dangerous than a 4 Zealot Prism warp-in (also 10 supply). | ||

Which are all doomed to die, even if they cause some damage. Protoss needs something to make PvX more interesting, that's the point of this buff. | ||

Dont realy mind this update, its something wich will only effect higher level players as players in diamond or lower seldom use warp prism harras in my experience, and with the prism now beeing faster the harras will only be more difficult for them to execute because they have to react faster. 1 viking at home at the place the prism is most likely to get in should still deter i guess? And maybe they could lower the health again back to what it used to be, as with the faster speed it will take less damage. Reaper drop damn, thats brilliant lol. | ||

As far as actual constructive discussion: what is the proper Terran response to warp prism harass play now? Vikings don't work to chase it down, they can only sit around and shoot the warp prism if it flies in, which you could do anyway by leaving your army at home. If you stay at home with all your vikings, they're wasted supply, and if you stay at home with your whole army, you've done exactly what Protoss wanted in the first place anyway. So... turrets? I'm thinking place buildings with a lot of small crevasses, and leave hellbats in them to fight zealots. SCVs can repair if need be, and that should buy time for the next round of production to come out. Maybe a few marines, too, since hellbats don't do so well against DTs. Leaving ~10 supply at home should be safe (I think). | ||

Terran players: Waahh Protoss has feature A now Protoss players: Well Terran has feature B! Terran players: But Protoss has feature C! It's almost like Terran and Protoss are supposed to be different races! | ||

It's almost like Terran and Protoss are supposed to be different races! Don't be ridiculous EQUALITY! + Show Spoiler + Wait and see how this turns out. If prism harass is considered too strong for a while after this patch, they might revert it. Until then, sit tight and see what happens - would more varied games kill anyone? | ||

Nothing changes late-game from right now. 30 warpgates? Current protoss lategame would already have prism speed. If you're going to fear monger, at least suggest some reasonable balance concerns -_- | ||

Even if speed medivacs are better, isn't Terran supposed to be a great deal more mobile anyway? Why is the assumption that all three races should be equivalent in every regard? As far as actual constructive discussion: what is the proper Terran response to warp prism harass play now?

Leaving ~10 supply at home should be safe (I think). Just use standard TvT defense strat: 1 Viking, 1 Turret, 1 Bunker at each base.  No, but seriously all you truly need is a Viking and a Turret to kill the fragile prism. You don't have to chase it at all. | ||
