Increased warp prism use is a good thing. It will help split up the toss army. The only things that suck about it are

1. sentries ff the ramp between main and nat
2. dts warping in the main on a constant basis

Good simcity will become a norm as toss won't be able to warp in close to turrets thanks to the immobility of the WP when activating.

The only ironic thing here is Terrans with speedvacs moaning against speed prisms.


u cant compare a constant speed upgrade with the ability that medivacs have. even stimmed marines are slower than the new warp prism... ok gimme marine blink to deal with it and im fine...

Everybody knows that protoss is relly good early midgame now. With nexus cannon and allins, witch is better then playing lategame. So why this change of all changes they can do? All this is gonna do is add some other awdomeness to allins. "now we have mother core and speed prism" wtf?

Really heart touching story.

He is right, protoss have phoenix, which can catch the medivacs. And you only need to spend +500 gas to get them...which is the same price as your first colossi.

Wait...


You need like 4 Phoenix to kill the medivac in any reasonable amount of time, too.

No need for colossi, terrans up to high masters randomly load up their whole army all the time anyway. Your strategy should revolve around having 20 hidden phoenixes in your base and mass observers to spot their inevitable brainfart, kill all the medivacs and then attack move all your observers to his base and win

If you don't make (stimmed) marines as a Terran, you're doing it wrong.

Also, I hear that phase mode for the warp prism is pretty slow (speed of... 0).

And isn't medivac boost faster than warp prism?

Shhhhhhhhhhh don't talk about the "medivac", its not polite to point out the unit that is flat out better than the one they are complaining about.


First of all, medivac costs gas and only have 150 HP, which is not the case of the warp prism

Second thing is, terran is supposed to be strong in the mid-game, this is what DK said, since its lategame is nothing compared to protoss' lategame. A terran reaching the late game without an advantage in pop or eco will just lose to the protoss player.

Giving protoss a unit with a very high mid-game potential is very dangerous. Time will tell
Another clue to my existence.

1) Terran lategame beats protoss lategame. Ghost Viking beats everything protoss.
2) Terran doesn't go out of their way to build a medivac and the bio units it drops. Protoss does go out of their way to build a warp prism and the dropped units.

Medivacs have armor and protoss has crappy ground to air.

i doubt this will change much, but i hope it may open more micro potential due to better acceleration.

I doubt it considering how strong stargate already is but it most likely will find a niche again, which is cool. Speed prism immortal drops were super cool to watch and play.

1. So what if medivacs cost gas? Protoss is far more gas-intensive than Terran. What else are Terrans going to use all that gas on? Marines? Hellbats? lol. Besides, medivacs have their own perks (healing, speed, etc.); simply looking at the resource cost is not enough to generalize and say X is better than Y.

2. Regardless of whether or not this is true (and for the record, I don't think the late game is as lopsided as you're implying), this is not an argument for speed prisms being overpowered. Checking the minimap and leaving a few turrets or marines at home are pretty good ideas... kind of like how Protoss players need to drop cannons and keep high templar at home (which cost gas omg).

the people who think this is somehow equivalent to medivac boost are insane. let me warp in marines and marauders and we'll call it even. this is going to be the most annoying thing in the universe in late game and will probably kill any chance of mech working in the matchup
