    • @chloesmith4065
      @chloesmith4065 Год назад +7

      Yeah. So sad. Feedback was nerfed into the ground to help TvP because of crying terrans losing medivacs, thors, bcs, and ghosts to feedback. So it got nerfed to only do 1:2 damage per energy burned instead of 1:1. Then Thors and Battlecruisers were made un-feedbackable anyway. Least they could do is double feedback damage vs biological targets to help PvZ and make it suck less against ghosts. When you feedback a ghost and it only takes like half its HP it's worse than a single target EMP that has a lower range.

    MaxPax didn't really make many Carriers in game 1 because he knows that they are a very low ROI unit in the late game, unless you are left alone long enough to mass them with upgrades, that just turn into a complete liability once the Zerg has Vipers out. Not like Tempest are *that* much better, but at least they can out range Vipers and don't have to rely on Interceptors to do damage. The best use I think I've seen of Carriers is herO's 2 base Carrier rush that hits around 10 minutes or so into the game. Once Zerg has late game units though, they are just not good anymore.

      Yeah never seen a pro protoss be successful with carriers late game it's just a mineral sink.
      I've never seen any pro protoss manage a big pack of corruptor either. There's just nothing that can deal with it. And vipers and infestator seem to be vastly more useful than templars... I've never been higher than diamond in the game but for watching pro plays here and there since a decade it seems to me protoss never had the edge late game. Yet people keep saying around that protoss units are higher quality and more ROI....

      Void Ray's can handle corrupters, but only while they Prismatic Alignment active. Void Ray's aren't typically very useful afterwards though, whereas Corrupters can just morph into Brood Lords. So no matter what you do as Protoss, your still at a disadvantage in the late game and the early game. What I find to be the most funny is when people complain about Protoss all in builds. If Protoss is really weak early, and really weak late, then what exactly do people expect Protoss to do other than do tight all in timing attacks? It just shows that these people have never actually played as the Protoss race.

And it makes sense on a lore and race design standpoint. But when I watch pros or when I played myself, that's only true during middle game for a short period and only if you managed to harass the zerg successfully.
      When I saw that corruptors were buffed to be able to poop on buildings real quick and go away I wondered wtf was wrong with the game designers.

    As iv seen in MANY ZvP games. The issue is (Or one of them) that the zerg units are very fast and mobile, where as the Protos ones are slow and tanky. This usually results in most Protos going around with one grp of units, lumbering across the map. So a good Zerg (Like here) just hold most of his units in one grp, and makes a couple on the other side to do hit and run tactics. Over time you get massive gains and just overwhelm the Protos.

    Back in SC Brood war, the HT still never had an auto/basic attack. HOWEVER the 'hero' versions of the HT did. The theory being, that since the Protoss, in Legacy of the Void, are a dwindling race forced to utilize the ships and armys of legends to have a chance at retaking their home world. Whatever High Templars they have left, must be extremely special and thus 'hero' versions with auto attacks. (I think it sounds good but who knows)

    Zerg spellcasters are just so powerful its a little disgusting. Every spell the viper/infestor casts feels game winning where even when high Templar are microed correctly (while being one of the most unwieldy units in the game) it just feels meh. Feedback is so much worse than EMP and storm is so much worse than fungal growth.

    • @SilverforceX

      The best spells for Infestor isn't even Fungal, its Coud, giving range units invincibility for a long duration aoe. And the Viper, is deadly vs all air units. Zerg has hard counters at its disposable, while the Templar is needed to counter those casters. EMP ofc is OP as heck due to it's aoe nature vs Feedback being single target.

      I totally agree with you, Storm is straight inferior to fungal... It only takes one good fungal to completely dismantle an army and force a bad fight for the other player where as storm can be dodge w/o too much consequence.
      And feedback is a bit lack luster... maybe increase the damage output to 1hp/energy to biological unit only? That would at least make it more deadly!

    What kind of Army can a protoss have that can go toe to toe againt this zerg late game? Zerg has more offensive AND Defensive spell casters. ONE good Fungal from at lesast 5-10 infestor is OP. Strom can esily be dodged. How do you feedback 10+ Spellcasters of the Zerg. There should be a limit on how many Infestor/Viper ya can make and reduce the Slow duration and damage of Fungal.

    I absolutely do not wonder that Zerg needa a NERF. I still would like to underline that zerg has too much at disposal, spell caster with gettin energy in extra way, imagine templars getting energy from batteries lol.... nydus able to teleport any ammount of army back and for, forcing splits and controling map for free. zerglinh and baneling were too strong in backstabbing during all game long, zergs and terrans could loose so much more resources if they want to same and they fail coz zerg is fast as hell on creep. Still getting Broodlords out of corruptors is intriguing, get them from Mutas so zerg player have to choose, not rush full corruptors, kill enemy air and then spawn endgame unit .... its sick, also that neural paraside and lurkers (siege unit) is casted or in dmg mode while burrowed. There is nothing equal for terrans or protos, and since players are getting better, there is serral for zerg, which plays like demigod, coz he have options for it, but since terrans and protoss dont have this options in endgame, even if they are dozens "serral" likes, we wouldnt even know, coz it would still relly on microing and timings more. In short, godlike players can squeeze from Zerg much more than other races can. Respect to Serral still

      Exactly so... he tries to hype up Serral but not realizing he is exposing how OP the Zerg race is. There was a time where Serral, Rogue and Dark wins like 90% of the tournaments for a year or two. Also, mentioned that Serral had way more APM than Max Pax but anyone who follows the game knows that Zerg's APM are inflated because of the larve and creep mechanic. Serral is not even among the fastest players in SC2. Don't get me wrong, Serral is undoubtedly the best player in the world, however, much of his success is due to the broken Zerg race.

    1v1 sports (unlike games AKA esports) tend to have very little variation in the actual game or sport. Tennis for example is very simple compared to any RTS--you just want to hit the ball back across the net if it has bounced on your side of the court. There's things to consider like the opponent's position and your position when you hit the ball, but that's mostly it. Tennis is also a game of perfect information: you can see what the opponent is doing at all times and where the ball is at all times. So you can train against a ball shooting machine or a significantly worse player and still get good.
    The closest analog is probably what many 1v1 or even team sports involve, like chess or football/basketball: watching film of your opponents.

    Hmm, interesting games and serral rly is a good player. But i dislike, how protoss has to be played...just clunky compared to the other races. What should u do vs two or three well timed baneling runbys. You can just warp in a limited amount of units...and even parking a colossus on every base wouldnt help quick enough. I dunno, wanted to play sc2 again, cause i rly miss it and Lowko is just a motivation figure for me...but i guess i have to change the race to either be able to drop/use tanks or to baneling bust the shit out of my opponents, which would be fun at least. Dont wanna rely on luck based storms or disruptor plays only..

  • @sshreddderr9409
    @sshreddderr9409 Год назад

    MaxPax needed 2 disruptors to punish the infestors and lurkers from coming to far forward. Hight templars alone dont kill them, and dont prevent them from spell casting. its okay to loose a carrier or high templar when you can pick of a few infestors or lurkers if they come forward to much. without this, the zerg can just retreat with barely any losses, but protoss can not and gets punished heavily when retreating. archon tempest storm void works well against the air, but it can not deal with lurkers or infestors coming forward, cause units dont get close and then cant retreat, and mostly get killed in such exchanges. Zerg needs to loose stuff when they come forward, otherwise they just kill without loosing anything, which is why zerg is so cost effective in late game. you need tempests and disruptors to punish these moves by actually killing some units, and enough HT, void ray, archons etc. to have enough beef for a straight up fight, and assuming equal micro the protoss can compete.
