It's not worth it because SCVs don't get combat shields and it doesn't kill or push back the adepts any faster. So you spend that gas on things that will help you kill the adepts faster over combat shields. | ||

By the time Protoss has +1 weapons, Marines should have combat shields. Therefore even +1 weapons doesn't change Adept efficiency against marines. If they have combat shields right now they also take 3 hits either way (and with stim its back to two hits with +1). The +1 weapons does negate the nerf, but you can't have the +1 weapons for the prism/adept timing (I guess), so that specific strategy is nerfed. | ||

Vipers will still make it different to HotS though I guess, even with the para bomb nerf, so maybe it won't be as bad as I thought. | ||

This change doesn't change that existing relationship or existing builds with regard to marauders, really. Armored adept would have changed them drastically. Obviously not saying that marauders will be better against adepts (the armored adept would be a terrible change btw, like community-decision levels of bad). Saying that it makes the strategy that deals the best with adepts (a focus on marines and as few marauders as possible) much better. | ||

Also apparently a 42% PvZ is a seconday issue. Not a single word. No worry, it can wait... | ||

Even worse winrate inbound in the weeks coming. Also apparently a 42% PvZ is a seconday issue. Not a single word. No worry, it can wait... Soon protoss will have single digit winrates in both matchups...I guess SC2 will be unplayable for a month or two after the patch. | ||

The problem is still the prism. The problem is the shift providing perfect intel and making a single group of adepts require two armies capable of dealing with them. | ||

I'm saying that's what people already do and this doesn't change that. Again, combat shields could be researched in time for a ton of adept timings, but terrans don't get it because scvs don't get combat shields. There isn't any 'saving gas' by not getting marauders to fight off adepts like you're claiming. | ||

Spore damage could be reduced by 5, not 10. With Fungal being a projectile there is a possibility of Muta wars making a return. PB nerf does not change the relationship of Viper vs Air - it only delays it (as you need more energy/Vipers). This is the same story as with Carrier - with ability it is too strong, so they increased build time -> which means that P will die waiting for Carriers, but Carriers themselves are still strong. They could make it non-stackable, or make it so that units are not killed by PB alone, and left with 1 hp instead. Adept nerf is long overdue, nut finally they are comming to their senses. PO nerf is great, but I'm a bit worried how is P supposed to defend vs Zerg. I know Blizzard will never even think about reduction of build times on Gateway, even by 2-3 seconds per unit. | ||

Adepts are really stupid and strong against Z also :/ Adepts are only stupid and strong in ZvP if you still subscribe to the school of 'no banelings against Protoss' Get past that mindset and they're not bad at all. ZvT is the biggest problem and they're admitting feedback that it's favoring Terran but at the same time saying they don't want to do anything about it except nerf PB (liberator buff) and maybe not buff siege tank | ||

There isn't any 'saving gas' by not getting marauders to fight off adepts like you're claiming. As long as the number of marauders built is positive, it can be decreased by making marines stronger. That's just a fact, I don't know how you can argue against that. As long as the number of marauders is decreased, it allows gas to be put into something else. The only way your argument is true is if zero marauders are built against adept rushes today, which is not the case. | ||
