And they make protoss upgrades cost way less, why? Toss have 3 defrent upgrades where the other races only have 2 so they had upgrade advantage to begine with, and they can crono boost to they upgrades are faster... So now there upgrades advantage just got bigger, how does this balance the game either? Sound like some protoss got tired of losing to terran so he told blizzard to nerf emp and give him free upgrades.... so redicoulas this game has become such a joke.
Toss can feed back a medivacs or a banshee and kill it with a templar before it even gets the chance to get into battle.
A ghost gets its snipe ability rendered were it does nothing accept to the templar... what do terran have to snipe warp prisms which get an hp buff so they got more hp than medivacs now, how are we suppose to snipe a void ray like a toss and feedback a banshee when ghosts snipe get nerfed and emp radius is reduced to redicoulas.
its called chrono, and if anyone has the upper hand in upgrades it has ALWAYS been protoss... chrono and upgrades that effect multiple units and buildings makes upgrading for toss easy, ive played toss and i was extremely surprissed at how easily i could go from 1 1 to 3 3 3... stop complaining because any problems in your game probably means you're terrible, because toss is the easiest race to play... im not complaining about the patch, just idiot lower level players like you!
As for the upgrades... is this the fix to PvZ?
(2*2)/(1.5*1.5) = 56.25%
It should be: (1.5*1.5)/(2*2)*100 = 56.25%
2 - 1.5 = .5 (the difference)
.5/2 (which is what youre trying to show here calclated correctly) is also known as 1/2 divided by 2 or 1/2 times 1/2 (the reciprocal of 2) expressed as 1/2 * 1/2 which equals 1/4.
1/4 = N/100
1/4 * 100 = N
N = 100/4 = 25%
pi*1.5^2/(pi*2^2), which simplifies to 1.5^2/2^2= .5625. Therefore, the AoE has been reduced to 56.25% of its original size.
(1.5*1.5)/(2.0*2.0) = 56.25%
im noob not only terran but math :(
Buff for protoss? too minor until i cant feel that, you get to save up 150 gas and mineral for the entire game if you get to upgrade 3/3 for your ground army, what is that worth? 1 stalker+1 sentry? usually protoss get killed before they get 3/3, dun feel like any buff. Reduce time of upgrade might be greater idea.
got back into it and find im being beat by zerg and NOT protoss for no other reason back then i didnt know wtf i was doing... now everytime i play against zerg i get to worry about being cheesed with mutas and baneling Bull!@#$... HOWEVER!... I something i will always look down on the protoss side is DTS'S and High Templars other than that I actually Feel bad for the race I dont really worry or feel like im going to get ROFL stomped by them, now its mainly zerg... Blizz plzzz fix ur game and dont ruin it like you are AND doing to W.O.W
