If the new update for protoss sucks.. I might change classes. Protoss is hard as fuck to play as.

by **James** » Wed Nov 30, 11 9:43 pm

It is very friendly, I'm sure most users think that. Besides you've got a buff and higher level Tossers players are steam rolling now.

Hey come fight me.

by **Aidan** » Wed Nov 30, 11 11:35 pm

Thanks again guys, but I'm still not doing, or feeling any better. I faced another guy who blocked off his entrance with cannons and had scouts up.

I had no idea what he was doing. So anyway, I got there, and he had a mothership, and a whole lot of everything. I pretty much tried the same sort of tactic bale did, but it's just not working out.

This game only makes me frustrated whenever I play it.

I think what annoys me the most is that when you lose, you lose HARD.

In a shooter game, you can walk away with a ranking, or a certain amount of kills, or aspect of those kills that satisfies you.

If you really don't feel like trying protoss anymore, I would recommend you to try out terran. T1 ranged units, bunkers, burrowable supply depots and scans allow you to defend against most lower-league cheeses pretty easily.

Onebase mothership builds are pretty easy to hold off and far from viable once you know what to do, but that can be hard if you're just starting.

You can always go back to protoss once you have more feeling for the game.

The colossus is fine as it is

Hey don't remember! Last month Protoss were apparently underpowered!

by **Professor Layton** » Thu Dec 01, 11 2:48 pm

189 kills on a single unit... fuck.

by **James** » Thu Dec 01, 11 2:53 pm

IIRC, the high score for a single unit in the top levels of play in Brood War was the Scarab with 73/78 kills. The Scarab + dropship tactic is a micro intensive combo, unlike the Colossus.

What I'm trying to say is: The Colossus is a joke unit and I'm surprised hate of the unit has been quiet since the community uproar earlier in the year. The two greatest counters (Thor's 250mm and Infestor's neural parasite respectively) we've seen against Colossi were consequently nerfed because of how they allowed another use to approach a protoss army that contained them which didn't involve having flying units. It is an utter farce.

by **Professor Layton** » Thu Dec 01, 11 3:14 pm

The whole protoss race has a lot of odd design/decisions though.

The warpgate ability makes balancing EXTREMELY hard, to the point where it's nearly impossible to change anything without immediately breaking a matchup.
But yeah, I'd like to see less colossus around; the fact that PVP went from a 4gate fest into whoever can get the most colossi in a colossus vs colossus battle is pretty lame. Don't really know if it's gonna come that far though, most new protoss units are spellcasters as opposed to raw firing power that would allow for the colossus to be nerfed safely, unless the Tempest would be a reason to nerf colossi.

by **James** » Thu Dec 01, 11 3:21 pm

Ergh. Colossus just needs to be taken out, far too Command Conquer for my liking.

Yesterday I did an MMA. I put a macrohatch right next to my third on Taldarim, then when i wanted to kill the rocks later in the game I ended up destroying my macro hatch :]
