Blink used to be something that would give nerdchills in an opening during WOL and HOTS. Now, the game is so spoonfed and sped up that Blink is literally just handed to the Protoss.
Defend harassment to show skill? Nah, spend 100 minerals and now your opponent is in trouble and you have a whole game anti-harassment building for 100 minerals. No tech needed and it’s literally better than a photon cannon.
The only reason Protosses aren’t winning literally everything is because they are braindead idiots. In a few years time, they will finally realize to survive the SCV/Marine/Tank allin all they have to do is get +1 armor and storm and pop a guardian shield while A-clicking. But that’s too hard. So instead, they take a THIRD and then a FOURTH while seeing it coming.
They can also easily hold these pushes with things like 1-2 gate phoenix. A terran trying to get to a protoss with 2 gate phoenix on a medium map is going to have their push slowed bare minimum by 50% while the phoenix guy picks unit after unit off the backline.
The game has pampered these progamers into playing these boring 4 base at 6 minute macro games to the point where SCV-allins which were ALREADY FIGURED OUT during WOL are working all the time. +1 armor +storm demolishes it. Phoenix play demolishes it. Even just gateway immortal man absolutely manhandles it. And protoss are so dumb, they forgot about the original composition for delaying these pushes call force shield stalker.
Honestly, the game is so crappy right now it’s not even fun winning, which is why I uninstalled. The wins give no dopamine because the game sucks, and the loses hurt bad because you know some mentally ill crossdresser on adderral or some pablo from south america who plays all day is ‘beating you’. Total losers. (I never read replies)
The goofiest part about them losing to these 2 base allins is that they see it coming. They can just stop it, then double expand and take 8 gas and deathball.
It’s also comical how these protoss also choose to mass disruptors which never land vs progamers anyhow. You’ll see even a worlds top protoss like Hero with 6 of them while he’s getting bent over by the Terran with 5 vikings, when he could’ve massed 4 collossus with phoenix support to tank the vikings. All this stuff will be ‘figured out’ in 5 years or so, but it’s pathetic that I’ve figured it out already and I’m just a mid GM toss on EU with no games played (because the game sucks now).
This game sucks (I never read replies)
