I know this is just a test map but if coloss ever come back as a staple in PvX i'll stop playing again.
Meh? Now there are a lot more tools versus colossies in lotv, than in hots.

Probably blizzard is tired of everyone is whining about hydralisks and buffed their protoss counter? It's only versus light, meaning only marines, lings, hydras, zealots and adepts will be affected (I listed those who MAY confront colossies most often).
In my opinion such buffs are just to encourage players finally do RIGHT counter units instead of talking about how hydra is op.

I'd prefer buffing everything around rather than nerfing hydras.

I've heard he has a few nice games floating around but couldn't find any. Do you know where i could find some ?
The only one i managed to get a quick look at was him basically destroying a zerg with a totally unopposed push pre-vipers

which would result in colossi coming back...

for me playing at 125 APM in Diamond i find Mech to be weak. However, the buff to the Cyclone should help my mech play.

lol why so many players complain about colossus buff? when was the last time you seen a protoss on ladder. protoss is underpowered and underrepresented on ladder they desperatly need a buff. zerg comps can fight protoss head on with hydra comps now where before you had to outmaneuver the protoss. and protoss still has shit dps with ground to air so lybs are still ridiculously overpowered and useless tempest vs ground make it impossible to enter a sieged position without getting shredded. And patch only been live for a short bit once builds get refined the abuse will begin and the sad part is there isnt enough protoss to cry about balance like terrans or zergs do R.I.P

If it was only PvZ that would make sense, but with hydras also being problematic in TvZ a hydra nerf the cleanest solution. Otherwise you risk unbalancing all the match-ups. Why exactly do you insist on hydras being in their buffed state?

Those are the ones I saw, but since historically mech was viable in TvZ, I am not too worried about that. The question is TvP...

good thing you're here to cry then
the problem isn't that they're buffing toss, it's that they're buffing this unit in particular
...again though...this is just a test map

They can buff whatever they want just remove skytoss

The question is TvP...
Sadly mech TvZ right now is in a very, very bad spot following the hydras nerf, to the point no competent zerg should lose after vipers hit the field. TvP is a bit ambiguous, mech is overall stronger but some hard counters remains, and carriers being what they are now...
The new missile uppgrade kinda saves the deal, but it keeps pigeonholing mech into the "turtle into raven" playstyle that is plaguing it since WoL.
The map pool doesn't help, especially with the new eco, which was a huge blow to mech.
It's interesting to see that Blizzard over the years has been consistently very good at one thing : making sure every time they talked about making mech a better option, that they instead, more or less indirectly, buried it even deeper, somehow.

I always thought that additional damage vs light would make some sense for collosi - but combined with lower dmg against anything else.
I really don't enjoy playing with collosi and they already seem to be coming back to the meta game to some extend... I don't like this direction at all - I would be ok with a buff to pretty much any core Protoss unit but the collossus.

lol it got unbalanced when they made hydras imba
the problem isn't that they're buffing toss, it's that they're buffing this unit in particular
colo underused tbh protoss needs something in the midgame and toss needs more amove potential. too many ability units
good thing you're here to cry then
somone has too. its kinda pointless since most protoss lost their passion.

passion =/= unconstructive feedback
protoss needs something? Buff anything but the coloss and i'll be happy
