You can't kill protoss (*clicks on nexus) in the early game though protoss can kill you with so many silly cheeses and allins. O and let's not forgot that a toss deathball can melt away 50 supply in just 2 seconds. If protoss is so strong from the start then why not fix the lategame, because even lategame army handling is much easier for protoss.

This happens way to often.
--> really difficult to hold allin gets repelled --> no worries wasn't allin at all, protoss doesn't have allins in hots --> continue's to roll the opponent in the lategame.

No other race can pull this stuff off..........

I don't even get why some people only play straight up with toss while they could easily boost their winrates by resorting to doing this stuff. It's so ridiculously strong on top of having such a powerful lategame. Has is actually bad (check his army control) but he still manages to eliminate Jaedong through coin flips lolwhut? Luckily Bomber served justice.

I think if blizzard wants to keep toss like this, they should also change how the lategame works.

The all-in opportunities difference between races is ok. God dammit stop trying to make every races look the same in a by-design asymmetrical game.

The only point of concern people could have with protoss is that many dangerous opener looks the same yet require very different reactions from the other player (hell, even in the PvP match-up), like say a PvT blink opener vs a fast zealot archon timing (well, for the sake of an example, I don't really know if fast zealot archon timing is even a thing, I just lose to it on the ladder )


Assymetrical doesnt mean unfair. Assymetrical doesnt mean spoil all fun to other races. Currently protoss has so many openers and so many ways to hide them it's just not fair.


Oh, and btw, is anyone able to quantify the number of viewers lost because a random protoss cheesed his way to RO16? On IEM stream lot of people came just to see the "BW bonjwa".

What makes me sad is that the first PvP didn't seem like a pro game at all. Neither Has nor Arthur really were impressive, they just somehow won some games. If you're going to drop Jaedong at least show some skill so I can root for you in the ro16 instead.
Friends don't let friends switch to toss in hope of easy wins.

I see what you did there, lol!

be that as it may, yeah the game may be asymmetrical, but the element of fun is probably what gets people the most. So it's not just balance whining i guess, it's more design complaints. Maybe that should be the new Meta of whining? So Balance or Game Design (ie protoss) whining allowed anymore. Also, maybe next after that, there could be a labeling system that uses stars to designate certain people

To be expected from Protoss scrubs. Cant win straight up because you opponent is superior in skill and pretty much everything else? Play protoss and pick one of bajilion all ins and suddenly you can compete with world best!
You failed the all in, just turtle behind pf nexus and drag it to late game where your opponent has to be much better than you to stay even with your a move and storms.

Finally got it out of my system. Fuck Protoss.

We're like 5 years past the phase design whining started.

Just look at warpgate, Forcefield, Mothershitcore, Fungal, Swarm Hosts, Hellbats, Roaches, Collosi, Immortals, Hellbats, Corruptors, Overseers, Void Rays, broken economy, etcetera, etcetera.
All of these things have one of multiple problems with them which are all flaws by design and were predictable.

In some way you can link all of this to the bad economy design.

No, not really. Some units are just bland, stupid, unmicroable.
Some abilities have no place in an RTS.
Some things break the most basic rules of defenders advantage or taking risks in an RTS.

And the economy being too good tops it off.

Good thing I didn't stay up for this, I'd have been both annoyed and disgusted, also looks like the LR thread turned into quite the war zone.
At least Bomber pulled trough somehow.

I do not have anything against asymetrical design or all-in possibilities, but in case of pylon wall cannon rush it was pure abuse of protoss race design, nothing less, nothing more. And Jd, with his hatch first, could not do ANYTHING about it.

I am just glad I didnt stay awake for this WCS AM, sometime when big players did play (Like JD and Bomber) I would stay awake, but for this one, I glad I went to sleep, it would frustrate me too much.

The reaction would be pretty low. The better player wins and the audience did not have to face 2h of swarmhost antiplay.

Man, it's embarrassing to be an SC2 fan with all this whining. JD isn't focusing on the other race, but himself and what he could have done differently. It's why he has the heart of a champion.
