Or/ revise the Immortals current shield and give it a defense against 3 units that are ground-based striders. 1 from each race.
as it is a very interesting shield
They already basically one-shot Adepts…
This will not make them a strong counter against 80% of the units in the game and abused.
Right now it’s very bleak with the Immortal without it’s shield.
Thank You community.
Sincerely,
protoss is op, needs to be nerfed.
Although marines are supposed to counter Immortals, which they do.
Total cost of 1 immortal and 1 sentry is 300/150/6, or 97.5 worker cycles,
Total cost of 8 marines is 400/0/8, or 80 worker cycles, and he had 5 marines left alive, so they had similar value of starting units, but the Terran only lost 150 minerals worth of units, while the Protoss lost 300/150 worth of units, so the protoss lost three times as many resources in this battle as the Terran lost, even if we incorrectly evaluated gas as the same value as minerals.
But gas is really worth “more” than minerals in most situations, because Gas only mines 4 per worker cycle. So do you think it’s “fair” that marines hard counter immortal and a sentry this badly, considering how much they cost to train?
Too much mat for Shia mate i doubt you will get response (beside generic P OP)
Hardened shield was broken. Especially against mech. Your other solution is a little too creative, that breaks the pattern of how units work. No need to keep complicating an already complicated game. Also, immortals are fine, they are extremely good against what they are supposed to, and not good against what they should not be good against.
Immortals already have been nerfed quite a bit. They are the backbone of the Protoss after Zealot nerfs.
Listen Protoss is already limping on one leg in terms of actual viability since they can not fight on par with the other races.
That is why we now see the return of band-aid fixes in terms of shield batteries and their overcharge.
At least if you want to have them be neutered bring back the mothership core it was more interesting than batteries.
I agree. what you just said…
Immortals are fine as they are. They’re already strong enough without hardened shielding, and frankly, hardened shields effectively removed the entirety of mech from TvP.
Not that it really makes much difference, since they likely aren’t going to do any major game-sweeping changes anymore, though more standard balance changes are still going to occur.
Hardened shield made mech even worst than it already is versus protoss. It literally hard countered a whole playstyle. Immortal is still broken and needs to be nerfed.
yes ive been saying this forever, hardened shield needs to come back, just run over all the whining terrans and do it anyway
