You are focusing on ONE change out of a hundred upcoming changes for the HOTS expansion, and you are all crying your eyes out about how Protoss is worthless now, saying things like Blizzard want to remove Toss, or they want Toss to be worthless. Seriously, think about that for a second, do you honestly think that's what blizzard wants? This shit had to go for the greater good. Back in the beta when roaches were 1supply and life was good, how do you think Zergs felt when that got nerfed? it fucking sucked but it had to happen, it was not good for the game. Stop focusing on the ONE bad thing that has been discovered so far, it really only affects cheese and other gimmicks anyway. | ||

They just buffed its shields to seduce more people to use it...now without high ground warp ins, you'll have to build it. That's like removing scan to force Terran to use Raven... mikiao - It is only needed to be built if you want to warp into the back of an opponents base. You're not being forced to make a robo and you're not being forced to put units inside the enemies base completely circumventing their front line defenses. ToastieNL - It is nothing like your scan/raven analogy. More along the lines of... Terran needs medivacs and zerg need nydus/ventral sacs to get units into the back of your base. Protoss now need a pylon INSIDE your base or a warp prism. Seems pretty even and fair between the three races if you ask me. | ||

It simply cuts options across the board for toss players. ALSO please let us have our old range pylons back! They nerfed ramp warp in so why can't we have our old range back!? | ||

There is always going to be one race suffering for a period of time until perfect balance has been achieved, right now that race seems to be Toss, but you are forgetting how much trouble Zerg had for the first 6months trying to fend of 4gates and Rax before depots. | ||

Why don't we require Protoss buildings to have a pylon stuck to them permanently, and that pylon is only capable of powering one building? That will remove any cheese and make Protoss completely unable to win before the 15-minute mark... We call it cheese removal. Oh, also, we're giving Protoss guns on some buildings, so they can defend more. We don't want mobile Protoss units to be viable, you see, because we just put Mass Recall on the Nexus - it would be quite powerful if Protoss units were good, because this would make them totally too mobile. No, Protoss has to defend, defend, defend until they get a death ball and win outright. That's good gameplay. Yes, I play Protoss, and yes I feel like everything's getting a bit fucked up right now. Not in terms of balance, but in terms of how Blizzard is pushing too much for things to work a certain way. | ||

Removing ALL shields AND ALL energy from my units was just so retarded OP that I completely wiped that from my memory. They should go on and start nerfing that Snipe (cost more or less damage). And when they're at it, reduce that range so it matches Infestors/HT's - only then the Ghost will be a balanced unit IMO. | ||
