Protoss units don't die. They just get warped to a farm up state where they have room to run and play with all their friends.

Welcome back to Learning with Lowko! Today's facts: 1. Probes get reborn as observers or colossi. 2. A fully grown colossus can withstand a widow mine detonation. 3. Liberators and the Sentry can theoretically attack air units. However, this has not been proven. 4. Rocks are a carrier's worst enemy. 5. The missile turret is the new spore crawler. 6. A mothership's name should never be uttered. 7. Dark templars are naked, which is why they are cloaked. 8. 37:50 Pre-storms! Until next year! Cheers!

@grigorymysov9851 6 ай бұрын

Surprisingly, there is even an actual merit to 4: carriers can attack rocks to get the interceptors deployed right before a fight, which gives them a noticeable power boost. Yet to see it in the a pro game, tough

"Protoss don't die" was also part of a story in the comic book series. They have an emergency warp, but with limited range and some vulnerabilities. At least zealots have it, confirmed, so adepts, templars and pilots of all sorts should have something similar, too. Aside from Dragoons and Immortals probably, who wish to die with honor, robots of all sorts, and Archons... who are already dying violently.

according to lore, bios like zealots have emergency warp when they're mortally wounded or on the verge of dying. some of them get to continue service as dragoons("i have returned" dialogue when warped in), immortals, some who only have their consciousness left(for heroic or commendable soldiers), get to live as AI on robotic units (purifier program). probes are robotic units that are expendable though.

Nerd moment: the Protoss as a race are joined together in the khala (mentally linked, basically every protoss can see, think, and feel what everyone else experiences, but they can keep things private if they want or need to.) When they die, it’s felt by the whole race, and while the individual themselves are gone, their memories live on in the rest The dark templar, however, decided to not join the khala to maintain their individuality and were exiled and hunted down for their beliefs and practices until tassadar met zeratul and brought the 2 back together

I feel like the late game is getting so good lately. Like a year ago or so TvP lategame was just mass carriers/tempest vs mass BCs. But now there is a lot more variety in the unit composition, with constant skirmishes and back and forth. The same can be said for ZvP with Reynor's half-skytoss game recently and TvZ with the move away from Ghostmech. It feels like the meta as a whole is moving away from deathballs, which is very good to see.

@asdfasdf-mn8iu 5 ай бұрын

I mean, the T composition has not changed at all for years and protoss have gone from carriers only to a few carriers with many tempests and some ground army to defend them. I can't see how much changed? Mass BC was always risky for T because BC kills tempests with jump and yamato, but other than that, BC die to tempests insanely quickly. I feel like more protoss manage their army properly nowadays with oracles tagging and HT zoning, but other than that, the unit comp feels same-ish.

Probes are just robots their is nothing living in them unlike a dragoon or immortal. Up until Legacy of the void all High Templar Protoss units where connected though the Khala? their group consciousness so when a Protoss dies they still live on within the Khala. That was never true of the Dark Templar, and in legacy of the void the the High Templar sever themselves from the Khala. I don't know if they also have some kind of emergency warp system.
