Grubby's forcefield rings were sick as fuck

[lilluz10]

whoa... that is not the best suit/shirt/tie combo...

@NeoMorpheus93 by the time u have 130 supply, zerg wont have 200/200 all roach, psystorm is beast vs zerg but still nice vs roach, why dont u build more immortal instead of colo? zlots vs them lings

if given resources ht is 50 seconds behind infestor, also ht are 50min cheaper and can morph to archons.

your on 2 base because u let the zerg take map control, u have to be more agro

and im not saying take away ff, im saying decrease how long they stay up, or increase energy per use.

[NeoMorpheus93]

@FishTurd69 Lets take one example: Taldarim Altar. If I, lets say, move out with my 130 supply the zerg is maxed on roaches and will kill me nearly everywhere. With FF protoss has at least a chance to beat pure roach armys. Fugle growth makes it nearly impossible for me to take a quick third, while zerg takes his 4th and 3rd. Why?? Because there is no way to have colossi or ht as fast as you have infestors and with lings (+1 +1 upgrades included) I am on 2 base for quite some time. until BL. GG

[NeoMorpheus93]

@FishTurd69 RLY? Nothing??? Ever tried to beat mass spine crawlers with brood lords and investors? You will see that it is senseless. VR don't counter brood lords effectively because of high costs in terms of gas and fg + IT and corrupters kill vr very fast. Ultralisks can be more effective than u might think, its at least more effective than carrier (or MS). And without FF the protoss could never move out and be aggressive until the death ball. and you know what happens if you leave a zerg alon

[FishTurd69]

@NeoMorpheus93 at least protoss has something, zerg actually has nothing, broodlords can be countered so easily by vr, blink stalkers and they are slower than the mothership. also ultralisks have very terrible pathing probably 75% of the time they should be attacking is spent dancing. everything else is psistormable

[FishTurd69]

@NeoMorpheus93 i wouldn't say a defensive spell because ff will forcefully alter the terrain so that it heavily favours the protoss army, in that sense it is aggressive, also fg can act like a ff on a ramp. ff+storm does loads of damage, infact does more than fg in a shorter time 2. ff isnt useless late game because i have seen entire armies raped by ff in late game in pro matches

[NeoMorpheus93]

@FishTurd69 And you can't avoid FG at all, maybe the feedback but in terms of the late game everything protoss has is the mothership which is gonna be removed in hots. Makes sense??

[NeoMorpheus93]

@FishTurd69 hmm the difference is that FF are the most important defensive spell for Protoss. Without them Protoss would be completely underpowered in early- mid game. FG is the combination of psionic storm and Force Field, but it doesn't do that much damage. FF is completely useless in late game.

[FishTurd69]

@NeoMorpheus93 wats the difference???

[NeoMorpheus93]

@FishTurd69 Please don't compare ff with fg

[FishTurd69]

this is why they need to nerf ff, because grubby explains that ff storm is > fg (which got nerfed a while back)
