Those changes are bandaids without any imagination and a will to push the game forward.

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


how can you play protoss and look at your self in the mirror ? Thats why you dont see protoss on ladder anymore ppl woke up from a dream and started playing real races

Bonus m*me: They can buff anything else than collo

Adepts suck without their ability. They get kited to death versus MMM, could never approach tanks, and just die to anything zerg at all.

Their ability allows them to close the range, to surround units (preventing escape), and to always engage in a favorable position. Without a favorable position, adepts are too slow and too low damage to do anything remotely good.

In fact, you can try it out. Take 5 minutes to remove shade from the command card for adepts in an extension mod and play versus a friend. See how relevant they are to ... anything ... then.


Personally, I'd love an adept without an ability, but I doubt we'll ever see it.

What was the effect of the Cyclone (pre-patch) that it was needing to be changed?

On other side, adepts can sometimes harass better (a lot) than zealots. Zealots with charge upgrade can annihilate hydralisks super well.

- Protoss didn't need yet another dedicated harassment unit.
- Zealots get wrecked if there's anything to stand in front of the hydras like ... banelings, lings, roaches, lurkers, broodlings, spines, spores, ... or paper airplanes

Nonetheless, Protoss still has too many abilities to manage. (or rather, too many high-maintenance abilities)

Some times I don't understand people. 1 year of whining about adepts and when they're buffing an alternative to them people whine again. Colossus isn't some devil spawn straight from hell, it's a simple aoe attack unit. Why don't you just give the game a chance and try to enjoy it in its current state whatever that is?

Theese changes got posted too early. You can delete the thread

Blizzard:
Hey everyone!
We accidentally jumped the gun here and posted this early. While we are always exploring ways to make the game better, these specific changes are still being thought out and may be tried out at a later date. Apologies for any confusion.

Good to know!

Now I have to wonder if the community reactions will influence their decision .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Ah, you don't have to quote me. You can just put the link with his text quoted. :D Would be easier for those coming to the thread than linking through to reddit.
