Also he abuses Vipers. Reynor also won in matches where he uses them, and lost the matches that he went heavy Brood. Viper is totally risk free way to kill high value targets. The only time I think it's not I-Win button is against marine balls (and even in that case, abducting all the Medivac for free will kill Terran)

Might be ,but i would say make Viper cost like na extra 15/20 gas and BUFF hydra with some extra healing factor, so they can be player more cost effective

@mitchmitting102 5 месяцев назад

I think a good solution to Protoss early game is reducing the spawn time and warp in cooldown time of Gateway units. Gives them more to work with and doesn't scale too heavily into the late game since most the units you want to be rolling with aren't from the Gateway. Even if it's just for Adepts, Zealots and maybe Stalkers, I think it would help them recover from losses.

Give the nexus a buff so that shield batteries built in range of the nexus spawn with +50 energy. Then you can fine tune the number while keeping the offensive potential low. Adding the cost of a nexus to a void ray rush should help keep it weak.

Just a small suggestion, maybe some historical info would benefit newbies on this channel. What's the mothership core?

@baloonman5 5 месяцев назад

During heart of the swarm protoss had a unit called the mothership core. It was supposed to help them with their early game defense, but it ended up turning every game into "snipe/defend the core" because it was so important for protoss. They couldn't function without it. Eventually the unit got removed, and strategic recall was added to the nexus to take its place.

@takcus 4 месяца назад

GG!

@Mnoukadlo 5 месяцев назад

"Zerglings surrounding some very expensive protoss units", because all protoss units are very expensive. Maybe that is the solution to protoss early game you were talking about, it is the only race which do not have a 50 mineral no gas unit which you can mass easily. Lets redesign adepts to be massable ranged 50 mineral unit. If cyclone can get new role, adepts can too :)

@matthiasvancauteren3107 5 месяцев назад

I'd say it's both the early AND lategame for protoss that struggle. Terrans have ghosts to deal with broodlords and lurkers, protoss only has tempests and those get hard countered by vipers.

@matthiasvancauteren3107 5 месяцев назад

Also stalkers should be able to 2 shot zerglings not 3 shot

@saintmikeyg3417 5 месяцев назад

In games like Game 2, when Zerg masses lurkers, why don’t more pro-Protoss players make a few tempests with the upgrade mixed in with the carriers? Just more to micro, forces vipers out? I’ve found that it’s helped in my games, so just curious why it comes out of favour in the pros

PvZ always looks well matched, with both sides using every tool at their disposal. They only really hate using swarm hosts and void rays, and thats fair for the matchup. In terran games it always feels like terran is using a quarter of its real power, they can lose half their unit roster and still win games.

@loviix08 5 месяцев назад

@missmyf85 5 месяцев назад

The way to fix protoss being susceptable to losses early game is easy. Give them a cheap early game unit. The problem is that their units are basically double that or terran and zerg. A zealot does twice the damage but costs twice as much. So when you lose 1 unit it's actually more like you are losing 2. And as you have mentioned Lowko. You can't split those units and have 1 zergling attack/scout while 1 defends. So the solution? Just give protoss a 50 mineral early game unit that does 6 damage and builds in the same time a marine does. If the protoss want to skip that unit and play like normal, fine. If they want to play safer and use it to avoid an early game loss, that's great too.

When will Reynor play Terran?

@crimsonlanceman7882 5 месяцев назад

question from an amateur who only watches... But is Protoss a kinda turtly faction in the late game? I feel like their harassement tools are underwhelming. Cuz oracles, zealots, dark templars suck so much. And adepts are just used once in the early game, maybe as a semi all-in or something. But they have no place later in the game.

I'm not someone that would say protoss is not underpowered, but to be fair, you can warp in templar anywhere, but you can only morph infestors in your base.

templars cannot move while cloaked though@@gressorialNanites

@HaploBartow 5 месяцев назад

@@gressorialNanites true, though Infestors can burrow and move while burrowed, and if Zerg has a Nydus or dropperlords w/ speed, they can be picked up and taken anywhere pretty quickly. I think Templar warping in w/ enough energy for a storm would be a very good balance change to test out, at the least. May turn out to be OP, but it may also be something that gives Protoss the edge they need in order to win tourneys. We'd certainly see a lot more Templar drops in mineral lines if that change were made!

It just seems like they just need the confidence or something I don't get it.
