EPT1. 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.

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 | ||

Time will tell 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. | ||

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

If it does what they are thinking it will do, its a good change. The problem reality is abother thing. | ||

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 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). | ||
