Quote from: Gamewiz on May 11, 2010, 09:29:07 AMLol me too.. Im just afraid of zerg for some reason.. Zerg just dominates in map control and scouting..
I play Protoss primarily (rank 4 Gold) and I can say they are not gimped at all. In fact, whenever I face off against Terran, I practically laugh because it's always such an easy match, unless it's a Platinum Terran player that could totally kick my ass. The problem is that Terran players rely so much on M&M balls that they become so easy to counter. In the beginning, just get straight to stalkers (since Terrans love that marauder push, and it helps guard against reaper rush), then just start pumping a decent mix of stalkers, zealots, and sentries. That mix will beat an M&M ball every time, as your chargelots are the perfect meat shield. If they try pumping tanks (rare), a couple immortals will destroy them.
And if you really want to slaughter them, 2 Collossi or some templar will own an M&M ball. Terran players almost always go bio, so just expect that from the start and you'll win 75% of your games against them. And if you scout properly, you'll be able to counter if they decide to throw a curve ball and go mech.
Zerg is another story for me... I have a hard time against Zerg, but that's just my issue, not the issue with Protoss.
Leave some base undefended and tons of fast zerglings kill everything and retreat when my slow army comes..
Zerg has overlords all over the place and creep tumors for vision and my shitty expenc5ve observers die all the time that I dont even bother making them..
Are they that visible? Hover them over terran - scan and a kill.. zerg has overseers with them so they die instantly..
And they just die so fast.. If it runs into a missle turret it just dies in 3 fast shots..No chance to save it..
Im using phoenixes in all my matches now.. So much easier to do a fly by over their base to see what they are doing and to check for other expansions around the map.. Observers are too slow for that..
I dont like being in dark..
How to use observers? I watch my replays and players always see them and kill them.. Like my first obs going in their base and I can see from their POV that they are watching it and following it..
It would be better if they were really invisible or their price reverted.. 100 gas for something that dies so easily isnt worth it..
