I was worried I was gunna be in the video. I destroyed a terran with storms recently, and have also been pretty toxic because Im sick that 9/10 games are all ins.

[@meman24]

Storm is really powerful, if you understimate it you can easily die, and quickly. If u do the math on it, the DPS is absolutely insane, so u counter it with movement and timing. I feel like every unit in the game tests u on a different skill. Terran showcased bad awareness and terrible movement early on, so as a Protoss main I would go storm against him too. It not just about exploiting unit composition, it's also about exploiting your opponents personal weaknesses. That's how you win a game you're not "supposed" to win.

[@asharak84]

The complaint should have been about chargelots not storm anyway, that's what actually did most of the work

I have to say, just on the face of it, a bio-terran complaining about someone just A-moving and pressing T is so sweetly ironic I'd think it was intentional if Terran players understood what 'irony' is. (Sorry Terrans, love you.)

[@MrStealYoBeef]

They honestly don't understand irony. They complain that storm is so powerful as an AoE ability that does 80 damage over time from protoss and seemingly forget that they have a spellcaster of their own that does 100 damage instantly as an AoE ability, but also drains energy from any spellcasters as well. Now I'm no math expert, but 80 damage over almost 3 seconds seems to be a bit less powerful than 100 damage instantly. But for some reason, the 80 damage ability is the overpowered one to these people. If only Terran had their own ability like it...

Terran needs way more micro to be any good. You need to burrow widow mines siege tanks, libs, micro drops ect. Protoss just needs to copy a good zealot immortal archon build and that can get you all the way to 4.5 easily beyond that players know how to use multiple control groups with spells effectively at that point that build can be countered. protoss harassment is a joke just warp in 10 zealots and A-move. Or even just shift click A-move on the mini-map into the 3rd/4th. Copy a zealot immortal archon build, make sure the macro is on point, and A-move to win. For terran you can stim to win but you can easily over stim and die. Every other unit requires micro. Colllosi and banes and lurkers hard counter marine medivac unless you play like Clem

I mean yeah you can bunker down on 3 base and secure that with walls and a simcity. But the Toss will just expand like cancer across the map and end you with Skytoss. If you move out with mech in the early to mid game chargelots will ruin you both in a straight up fight where you are attacking cause you don't have buildings in front of the tanks, and the warp prisms will also abuse that opportunity to flood your unprotected bases with more chargelots cause mech is super slow to reposition and not numerous enough to leave units behind to defend. Mech can defeat chargelots only by having a walled sim city so the tanks can actually pop off multiple shots before dying. Below 3k I guess you can pray he walks into widow mines over and over again while he reads up which building builds observers in the prima strategy guide.

@@Shattered-Realm You're embarrassing yourself friend - mech isn't better than bio there's no argument from me, but MANY players have made it well into GM playing exclusively mech.
