Isn't the problem with adepts is their shade ability, not their ability on the battlefield? Wouldn't it make more sense to change the shade ability, even if it does affect PvZ?

They take bonus damage from stalkers and no more bonus damage from other adepts. No more bonus damage from anti-light units (though this is probably barely relevant since most of those are light themselves and not strong enough to kill adepts). Honestly the marauder interaction is probably the single most important one.

I would have preferred:

Give tanks +shields Damage bonus (or Shock-Shells upgrade)
Move 30 HP onto Shields on the Adept
Change attack speed upgrade on Adept to be +Shields again

This would have given Tanks/Ghosts more of a role in countering Adepts. Changing Adepts to Armored tag will work and allow T to survive the Adept/Prism abuse. But it is a crutch that won't produce any new unit interactions. People were already making Marauders versus Adepts, Marauders will just work better now.

While I agree that Adepts need to be looked at, the problem rather seems to be their short cooldown on the shade ability. Not sure how much this will fix.

Ravagers, on the other hand, definitely need to be armored.

Wouldn't it simply work to make the ability uncancellable? You still have your fast shade, you can still attack one spot and teleport out, only you can't do the trick anymore where the opponent needs to be in two spots at the same time.

The largest issue in TvP is not that Marauder's can't kill adepts, it's the high mobility of the Warp Prism as well as the Adept's being able to quickly warp in and phase to your mineral line within a few seconds. A large discussion back during Legacy's announcement was that the Adept's phase shift felt too much like the Stalker's blink - and while we have seen that they're different, the phase shift forces the Terran army - which is weak when split especially in early game - to split, or worse, follow the shades - and have the shades be cancelled, punishing the Terran for making a "correct' decision. The damage vs light is also a problem.

So instead of this, I wanted to propose a change to the Adept design, keeping it as a solid earlygame unit, with lategame harassment and escape tools.

Adept:
Resonating Glaives Removed.
Cost remains same as well as tech path - except for the Time, changed from 27 to 31
Damage: 6 (+1) (2 attacks in phase)
Range 5
Stats: 75hp / 85shield / 1 (+1) armor
Flags: Armored, Biological \ **Light, Psionic

The damage is a special type, instead of being 2 attacks onto one unit, the Adept's missile attacks two different targets. Since the damage is now lower, the Adept can be a useful harassment tool against worker lines, but not cause game ending damage. This attack is only available in the new Shade from the Adept. (see below)

**Change to Psionic Transfer:

Psionic Transfer now turns the Adept into the shade for 5 seconds, replacing the Armored\Bio tag with Light\Psionic. The speed of the shade in the live version is applied to the shade state. The Shade - replacing the Adept, can attack while in this state.

Upgrade from Dark Shrine:

A new upgrade is available from the Dark Shrine for 100m/100g/90sec

This upgrade changes the Psionic Transfer to be cloaked for it's entire duration, enabling further harassment options from the DT Shrine that isn't Dark Templar. But it's only for 5 seconds, so I don't feel like it'd be a problem. If the tech is too late it could be changed to have this applied to the Adept as long as a Dark Shrine is on the map, rather than an upgrade.

With these changes I feel like it keeps the Adept as a decent gateway unit, with early harass mobility (with flag drawbacks, allowing units like Banelings and Hellions to have counterplay versus the Shade), and lategame usage opportunities from the Dark Shrine.

---

TL:DR

Slight buff to adept shields, slight nerf to hp and build time, big change to damage/attack - Psionic Transfer no longer creates a fake adept, instead overcharges the adept, allowing it to phase through units and speed up like normal, have two attacks (that attack two targets), but change it's tag from Armored/Bio to Light/Psionic to add counterplay. Upgrade from DT Shrine (or building a DT shrine) cloaks the Adept Shade.

According to Aligulac PvZ sits under 44%; similar to during the worst time in the bloodlord & infestor era. Now being tested: a protoss nerf. Kim et al are effing hopeless.

lol, armored adepts will die to marauders, so mass marauders will counter all toss ground except immortals.
Better to keep them "light" but reduce their vs-light damage to not 2-shot workers and marines or increase tech required. Or tweak terrans to be able stop them.
