what can protoss actually do against such play. whether it’s midgame swarm host or early nydus with roach/ling queen flood

protoss lacks the dps and ability to lift off/repair like terran

this is just dumb lol

I mean smoked Showtime twice. Doesn’t have an answer. Nydus nerf might help.

If Adepts could hit air you could use them to kill the Locust before they drop.

o yea i think the nydus nerf, if it goes thru, will help

Yeah, as much as I dislike Swarmhosts, the issue here is more with nydus spam I’d say.

LOL this is true

Nydus has nothing to do with the flying locust that don’t require the swarm host to root or burrow to launch.

See?. Told you that making Adepts be able to attack air would be a great change that would give it mid-late game viability against different comps.

Adept with AA would just be another marine/hydra type unit. A stronger stalker maybe.

Seems superfluous imo.

Adepts being able to hit air would be a stalker alternative and a way for Protoss to fight light air units without relying on Phoenix.

aa adepts wouldnt have changed anything in the last 2 games lol…

showtime was just REALLY unlucky to not kill the first nydus with the oracles. he lost one oracle by harrassing, with 3, he would have hold in game 2. game 3 was also too greedy oracle harass from showtime. lost again an oracle, while he got his 3rd oracle denied.

without these 3 oracles, you cant do anything against nydus.

Yeh but I feel that should be the role of the stalker.

Stalkers are vs armored. Adepts are vs Light. They would complement each other.

Locusts are also Light.

Oh right, I somehow misread that xD

Idk I just think that might transform adepts into too much of a jack of all trades, particuarly in early game.
(comparable with marine/hydra, just with more durability and fully capable at t1)

They still are Adepts, just now with more utility.

More ontopic, how the f is showtime not getting crushed xD

But they wouldn’t be OP since the Adept ground performance would remain unchanged.

It’s such a solid change that complements the Blizzard changes coming up.

idk it just seem incredibly versatile for such an early unit

eg getting to phoenixes or so is much more of an investment

edit: LOL i cant talk anymore here because blizz thinks im a new user and dont got >3k post in the old forum xD
