Protoss so ez and op now!

Because:

  1. The easiest to Macro

  2. Best def now with overcharge

  3. Best late game, Protoss can kill Zerg in late game very convincingly.

  4. The most options for all ins, cheeses and harass.

  5. Now it seems the easiest to get to GM too.

  6. The most straight forward and easiest mirror match up to learn is pvp. Even is very fun too.

  7. Protoss is the hardest to all in. Protoss now plays very defensive and macro/eco based, but at the same time it is very hard to punish protoss.

No wonder everyone is switching to protoss nowadays.

The easiest to macro? Protoss has always been the easiest to macro, but all races have their strengths in macroing…

Come back to me when I can repair my nexus with splash damage…

I have one word for this: yoink

This sounds like a Zerg whine, so I will address it as so. We’re at a point in this game where allins do not work. All Protoss 2 bases are counter-able, and very convincingly too. As for cheeses, the only successful one you can really do, especially on one base, is cannon rush. All the others are outdated. You are heavily out of the loop (more so considering you are platinum) if you think Protoss can allin Zerg and pick up free wins nowadays.

Depending on the strategy you use, you can easily hit GM with any race. Lower GM ladder is a joke nowadays in any case.

PvP is a disgusting glass cannon mess. I’m not sure what anyone could possibly find fun in this matchup. Even TvT is not as ridiculous as PvP.

Yeah this is just hilarious and not true in every sense until disruptors come out. God forbid Protoss is able to hold an allin.

I just see a list of whining…

Step 1: hold down ling key, press several times baneling morph button
Step 2: Hold down roach key,press several times ravager morph button
Step 3: Hold down roach button and make some hidralisk, then keep making lurkers
Step 4: Keep holding down the roach button

The other variant:
Step 1: Hold down ling key
Step 2: Hold down ling key and Mutalisk key.
Step 3: Hold down baneling key when the enemy moves out.
Step 4: Keep holding the ling and mutalisk keys.

Lol i knew it the TCF are going to run rampant if Protoss wins 1 tournament and provide superficial reasons on how P is OP. That being said, Protoss does have a good lategame vs Zerg but the only Protoss that seems to be winning in late game ZvP is Stats.

Zest for instance still loses late game against Rogue. They have played many times and well Zest has a terrible win rate vs Rogue if Zest fails to kill Rogue in the first 12 mins. But i knew Zest has a far weaker late game than Stats/Trap. It has always been the case.

Yeah, this was a list to see how many Protoss players will say that their race is the hardest.

Every race has their hardest parts (I made a thread about that), but Protoss players just now start to annoy me, yeah really nothing is too strong about your race.
Rogue and TY got dominated, only because of skill. C’mon we are not blind.

Here we go guys: protoss op because they won a Premier.

LOOOOL what? PvP is not anywhere near the easiest.

Zerg is by far the most straight forward.

Terran is a little nuanced but it all revolves around tanks and ravens.

Protoss is by far one of the most if the most micro intensive, macro intensive, and complex counterplay match ups in the game. Shield batteries generally fixed the over aggressive nature of it unlike ZvZ. You have Stargate>Robo>Twilight mechanic (with many nuances). You have many different early game pressure builds with proxies and/or cannon rush. You have extremely intense micro battles with Stalkers, Disrptor, Phoenix, and even HT at times.

Anyone who says PvP is “the easiest mirror match up” probably doenst even play Protoss seriously and certainly doesnt know much about PvP.

Well the truth is that Stats, Rogue, and TY all lost because regardless if they were the more skilled player in the match, SC2 is a statistical game as well as a skill game. Even if you are more skilled than another player you arent going to win 100% of the time. Flash is unquestionably the GOAT of BW but still loses to players that arent as skilled as him because chance gets a vote too. Preparation and maps get a vote too.

I waited for the protoss whine and wasn’t disappointed, gj!

I do believe Protoss is the strongest race right now.
Do you believe Zerg or Terran is stronger than Protoss?

Zerg still has the most potential because of their economy. Zerg is still strong versus Protoss but it is more even now. Terran still has a lot of good tools. Its close to even except…

Even if the game is nearly balanced at the top level the game is very much T>Z>P>T right now. Too much IMO.

Depends. If you 1/2 base all in PvP is easy.

If you macro, then PvP is highly randomized due to the insane amounts of splash damage both players control, and adding disruptors to the game only made that problem worse, not better.

Not as much anymore. Expanding and defending is so much easier with battery overcharge.
