Wow, really terrible logic. Have you even considered that vikings need seperate upgrades? Can you even comprehend how much it will cost to get my vikings to 3-3 so they can go up against your 3-3 army? I can't, so I just have to do with 3-0 vikings to fight an army with 3 attack and 3 armor. Now how's that for fair? I think Protoss have the better end whatever a robotics bay and/or what thermal lance costs.

A collosi switch can only be benefitial since: 1. Vikings suck. Period. They don't share upgrades with your main army and they are no good in a stratight up fight except for dealing with collosi. 2. They take up your starport so you can't make medivacs. 3. It will kill you if you are not prepared or at the very least cripple you.

I can't see why a protoss would not go collosi but I can see several reason why Terran really wouldn't want to get vikings if it weren't for the fact that we are forced to make them in order to survive the ultimate 1-a unit.



This is just getting redicilous so I will leave.

But just so you know I can make statements like yours too.

Get 2 Ravens, get 4 Vikings, get a ton of Banshees.
Snipe the Observers and win.

Honestly you do not think things through at all so I won't either.

Well I think he´s right with TvP. But I also think Zerg is way stronger than Protoss and Terran.
Hope Flashs words have impact

Greetings.
Yea. Like all the results in pro play show or what?

Flash is the Greatest of all time, that's for sure. I can't wait to see what he does in the SCII world. Although, he hasn't really done too much to complain about balance...then again, who really is gonna argue with him?

I don't think Flash is serious about that imbalance comment, and even if he is, he doesn't have enough experience to make that judgement yet.

Nonetheless, I agree with Protoss being imbalanced, but I could say the same thing with Terran and Zerg. Each race has their own imbalance and most people are quick to say that the race they aren't playing are always "imba" or "OP".

Math alone is often not the answer though.

First of all, one reactored Starport produces 4 Vikings in 82 seconds, one Colossus takes 75seconds. The Range Upgrade takes 140 seconds.
So no, you do not need 2.
Second I did not count the Robo or the Starport since they have already been constructed for other purpose (Immortals/observers and Medivacs)

Plus:
You either need a 4 to 1 Ratio (personal sidenote: I would not go over 12 Vikings)
Or an Upgrade.

8 unupgraded Vikings deal with 2 Colossi pretty well and the +1 attack would not change a whole lot.
8 Vikings = 160 damage per shot, so they kill Colossi with 2.2 shots, with +1 it is 176, still not requires more than 2 shots.´

12-16 Vikings with +1 should be good enough vs almost any number of Colossi since Protoss will not have enough Stalkers to shoot your Vikings while your Bio simply runs from the Colossi taking no damage.


So I still do not see the argument.

vs 4 Colossi 12 Vikings with +1 should be sufficent.

without 2 starports you'll basically be stuck with 2 medivacs forever, which sucks against warpgated zealots (and warpgates in general)

If my Colossi hit you so fast you could only get out 2 Medivacs I should be long dead before my Colossi range ever finishes.

I never followed sc1 and don't know much about Flash, but balance whining as a supposed sc1 legend is pretty lame.

Spawning Pool is 250 minerals since you sacrifice a drone for it as well, and infestation pit and spire is also 150 and 250.



I think you have to count to lost mining time in too. + all the drones/hatcherys that were made.

Fair enough.

Here is your statement:
Vikings SUCK vs Protoss except vs Colossi.

A unit that can only attack 5 different units of one race sucks vs said race when they do not build any of those 5 units.

Since Void Rays, Phoenix, Carrier and Mothership are useless vs Terran. you can only get 1 of those 5 Units being Colossi

Congratz for your enlightenment.

Lol@ 3/3 Viking need. Nobody does that, most people doesn't even get more than +1 attack, and they only do it, if the colossi counts are alot higher than 2.
Furthermore, your bio with 3 armor has all it's hp protected, Toss only his non-shield hp.

Why am I even discuss it with somebody that calls the best Anti-air unit vs heavy armor bad.

War is not about who is right, but who is left.

I don't know why everyone is getting their panties in a twist about Flash commenting on balance. Loads of pros do it, Terrans complain about protoss, Nestea and DRG complained about toss a few months ago and every Protoss complained about the 1/1/1 for ages.

Also there's a chance something got lost in translation. I mean whether you think forcefields or warpgates are balanced aside, they are poorly designed and its possible that he was commenting on that.

Flash just like Boxer and July will become a decent sc2 pro.He will not become bonjwa again that is for sure but I would not be surprised to see him in the upper stages of a GSL.Flash vs Nestea or Jaedong vs MVP are some nice phantasy games.

Actually you need to make at least 2 extractors to mine that much gas so that would be another  150 minerals.

The amount of Protoss damage control in this topic is astounding. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and, believe it or not, a lot of people want to know Flash's opinion on balance.


I'm not saying that's wrong or anything but I just feel that the opinion of Flash would mean much more when he has played more than just a few weeks of this game.
