Watching Winner Match - Classic (P) vs. ByuN (T) Starcraft 2 GSL 2018 Season 2 Group A , I stumbled and got amazed a high templar shoots a CC. From Liquipedia HT description it says - "The High Templar (often abbreviated to HT) is a spell-casting unit for the Protoss. The High Templar is warped in from a Gateway, with the Templar Archives as a prerequisite. High Templar can cast Feedback to damage and drain the energy of enemy spellcasters. After an upgrade, High Templar can cast the devastating Psionic Storm spell, wreaking damage to all units in an area of effect. Finally, any two High Templar and/or Dark Templar can merge to form an Archon.". As far as I've played and used broodwar HT and SC2 HT, can't remember it shoots. Haven't played sc2 for many months though LOL

In a recent patch they gave them a basic attack. It only does 5 damage though so it's quite negligible. They only added it so that if you attack-move them they don't just walk into the enemy.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Then they should give that to infestors, vipers & ravens as well right? HT is the best caster in the game by a great margin, yet it costs less minerals already...

It wasn't fair that ravens and infestors have an auto attack while the HT didn't. They wanted to balance the micro of all the castors.

It deals 4 damage, and it seems philosophy-wise it will be streamlined better if we also gave basic attacks to Vipers, Infestors, and Ravens too (like the Arbiter from BW).

It is just smart business from Blizzard. Not everyone wants stress when they play, some people just want to relax. So they made Protoss.

You know what I am most impressed with?

I am impressed that so many highly skilled players like you guys humbly choose to play Zerg and Terran so we don't have to endure year after year of you guys winning the GSL with Protoss.

We've all seen infestors, high templars and ravens run into the frontlines. What made them give the HT attacks? There are many casters without attacks, why did the HTs get it? Protoss also got the sentry which essentially got a useless attack. I'm not whining about protoss being easy, but is there some idea behind it?

Right now it has the other problem. Fast units can draw templars away by kite or reverse kite it. In the non attacking version the AI will run-away from attackers (like workers and other "caster" behaves). Right now the templars will actively seek engagement (and get killed).

I thought this change made High templars easier to use.
Then I played protoss and realized that when amoving them they shoot at the first units in range and thus stay too far in the back to hit the big clump of bio units.
This change actually made them harder to use.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Raven's fly, infestors can burrow. High Templar are slow as fuck
