So, it has gone under the radar (at least mine), but Colossus received a buff where the Extended thermal range now upgrades the range to +10 rather than +9.

Apparently there's some confusion as if it's a bug or an intended feature, but in any case, quite a meaningful buff to protoss for now.

Oh so that’s what Rotti was talking about during goblin vs ByuN. Hopefully it’s just a bug and they revert it back, buffing an a-move unit / unit comp is a bad idea

It's a buff to Protoss, so definitely a bug.

Well it does seem like Protoss could use a buff these days, but yeah, not ideal

Honestly, good. the colossus might be boring, but if you're nerfing the disruptor you need to compensate somehow. I think it's a decent change.

Maybe I'd buff the immortal. Or give him an upgrade.

Imo, Protoss needs a small buff of some kind.

Agreed but the collossus would be the last unit I'd want to see buffed (well maybe after the carrier).

Would much prefer buffs to Immortals, Warpprism, maybe even lategame upgrade for Zealots and Stalkers.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Is Protoss struggling on the ladder? Doesn't look like it at all

I'm actually good with a slight buff to the Colossus, it's an old unit that used to be the end all be all but over time it's relevance has kind of diminished. Since Zerg already has a very good way of dealing with them through Vipers and Protoss seems to be struggling a bit vs. Terran, I don't really see much of a reason that the Colossus couldn't stand a buff.

Would also like to see Sentries take a more prominent role in the meta, especially against Zerg. Wouldn't mind something along the lines of a slight improvement to Guardian Shield to aid Protoss against Terran and making FFs require 2 Corrosive Biles to take down, a stronger Sentry would be good for the meta.

I like this change. Protoss needs meaningful buffs not small things. +1 range is great!

Has anyone actually tested this in an actual game to prove it's authenticity and not just a bug? Does colossus actually get the +3 range now...? Let's see what it looks like in game versus what it says

Yea I have kind of the same question like is this a real thing because I don't see any patch notes for anything so I'm wondering if this is just a...fortunate bug?

Either way, buff Protoss!

I guess I'll take it, but that is my least favourite unit in the entire Protoss arsenal.

Immortals definitely by far most boring unit in the game, would be cool to give them some kind of new ability to be honest. The "super shields" thing was kind of cool but it's not very spectator friendly.

immortals are cool because of how well they pair with warp prism

Yeah Colossus needs a buff specifically against zerg somehow

Abducting massive units should cost more energy lol

Patch 90136 in April introduced this stupid thing to VoidMulti.SC2Mod
But it functioned like a time bomb. Now it exploded.
Messy Blizzard management. No one maintains the game now.
