The Protoss Problem -An Indepth Analysis

@HANZǾ-1426

Protoss has the best mobility of all the three races in the game. They can reinforce anywhere instantly through pylons or warpgate, they can nullify any positional greed by recalling if they ever have an inkling of trouble, and they can defend superbly by energy overcharging batteries, not to mention they can always see what their opponent is doing with hallucinations and sentries.

… Did you just completely ignore all of my suggestions being in the context of removing both Warp Gate and Recall?

@HANZǾ-1426

They have the best static defenses in the came, GTA cannons and shield batteries. They also have recall.

Cannons don’t have the damage output to deal with Stim Bio drops or defend expansions against decently-sized attacks. Shield Batteries are good but require units being present to actually have the damage output to kill attackers. Oftentimes defensive Warp-Ins or Recall can supply those units, so without those, Protoss would need to split forces to have adequate defensive forces present - exactly as I said. Though again, it seems you totally ignored the context of these suggestions being the removal of Warp Gate and Recall (and for that matter, another powerful defensive tool, Forcefield).

Protoss has Charge and Blink, which is the Protoss equivalent to Stim or Ling speed or Roach speed.

Even without considering the defensive merits of Creep in regards to Roaches, and of Medivacs for Stim Bio, the “split forces” part of what I said still applies to Zealots and Stalkers if those are the units the Protoss player is making, since in the context of my suggestions, defensive Warp-Ins are no longer a thing.
