WM are cheap, small cost supply and punishing cause they hits multiple while they could fire once (as a spell.. BW) Banes are punishing and small cost supply units but the most expensive units anyway, WM or Banes you haven t so much to do to use it... | ||

Last I checked, Protoss winrates are more or less fine against Terran. Widow mines and all. Now if you were talking about a Zerg unit, say banelings, you might have more of a point. And whoa, what a surprise, this patch nerfed banelings. Funny how that works. You completely missed the point. Sure TvP is fine from a winrate standpoint, does not mean disruptors or widowmines are fun to play against. In the OP I answered too, SC-Shield compared widow mines to oracles and that only makes sense if you remember the old oracles that 2 shot workers. They got nerfed...widow mines got buffed and they are one of the 3 most hated units. | ||

It was in a fine spot, now its stronger for no reason Don't forget that at some point in its history they also made it faster to produce, so one reactored factory can pump out more of the things than when mines were originally added in HotS, and it's not like they were bad then either. | ||

Shroud is very strong, and not requiring an upgrade is insane, but the Queen nerf combined with the bane nerf might make Zerg feel very brittle against air play and holding bio pushes. Not that Zerg wasn't probably overtuned, but this might under tune them. | ||

Infestors just suck they need IT back to do something in midgame for example Vs tanks or to harass. Just don't make it hit air or less dmg to air. | ||

Yeah another useful ability for midgame would also be great. For a lair tech unit they are just 100 percent useless. Could also be a hive tech unit and no difference lol. Give them something to be a choice in midgame. For example shroud reduces all singe target damage not only air damage. | ||

I always thought warpgate should be redesigned. Warpgate should be a hero building ( can only have one of at a time). Starts with 4 charges, with an upgrade to make it 6 charges. Gateways should be the main production. If protoss can have insane defender advantage with shield batteries, then they should not negate defender advantage of their opponent with warp prism and infinite instant warp ins. You could def tweak gateway units if needed, and maybe allow gateways to be able to make immortals. Then remove recall or add counter play like back when it was mothership core (u could actually stop them from recalling by killing mama core or abducting it). Maybe then ZvP would be more like ZvT bio when players trade armies many times without it being game over for one side. Really wish they would try to make ZvP have less seemingly 1 sided stomps where one army just rolls for the win. Right now armies avoid each other for a long time trying to kill workers, then theres one battle and its GG. | ||

That should balance it . Then remove forcefield or replace with a slowing ability and now we can have good gateway units. Let's have stalkers with proper damage and adepts with maybe survivability (armor) or manual shade triggering. Or maybe even give all of them +1 armor. Stalkers should be fragile but do damage, could have less starting range but +1 range in the lategame... So many options... People also like to forget how ridiculously imba mmm still is: - Anti air & ground - fast airborne with boost - insane dps with stim - self sustaining healing - can be comboed with ghosts for anti caster and instant 30%+ health of protoss Tactically it's superior to any other composition in the game. | ||
