Starcarft II Relapse, Protoss Tactics

Question

I was able to get away from Starcraft II for a while (6 months or so). Now that I relapsed I see that there were many updates. Some of these changed unit properties etc.

I was wondering if anything substantial has changed in tactics. Do the new unit updates have new tactics specific to once useless units like archons etc?

Thanks

Answer

For Protoss there three changes that really effect you.

  • Warp Gate research time has been increased by 20 seconds
  • Sentry build time from gateways has decreased by 5
  • Archons are now Massive Units, with range 3.

Also note that infesters do the same damage with fungal growth in half the time and it now stops you from using Blink as well.

Forgot to mention that Khaydarin Amulet has been removed from the game - quite big as you can no longer warp in storms.

Not so important, units that exit a Motherships Vortex are immune from damage from 1.5 seconds.
