Hi guys, literally all my strats ( Stargate, Robo colossus, blink ?!) had a step where I needed to make a lot of adepts at some points.
Now that they're gonna explode when marines looks in their general direction, I need a new strat, Proxy sg pylon rush is still viable so that's nice, but I need another one.
Thanks for the help !

Time to start cannon rushing them :P
Seems like Blizzard just wants more cheese.
nice fuckin meme drogo rofl
Oy, who am I to offer a build to PtitDrogo?
My own laddering experience, last night, confirmed to me that Adept/SG just feels so weak now due to the nerf. I feel with more Adepts dying, I'm just falling behind as I trade with Terran and the transition out of Phoenix/Adept is riskier.
Part of me wonders if, with a weaker Liberator and WM, if Chargelot/Immortal/Archon won't be a bad choice once more. Early on in LotV, HuK was having success with it against a stronger Liberator and WM.
I'm going to play with that this evening.
The real irony about playing this style is that it's honestly way more A Move than Pheonix/Adept. I dunno - I mean once you do the big shade and lift, it's pretty much hands off the keyboard but Pheonix/Adept requires a lot more spell usage and multi-tasking.
Chargelot/Immortal/Archon is just A+click and don't let your Zealots run too far. Vs most Terrans tonight I've literally just crushed a drop, then A-Moved through their 3rd and natural. Maybe I didn't play HotS and this build is old school WoL like me, but it feels WAY easier and a little derpy.
Still waiting for Terrans who build Ghosts...
Did the nerf go live already?
Sorry, I worded that poorly. That's what I get for posting before I have morning tea. XD
I was trying some stuff out in customs, not on ladder. The health nerf hasn't gone live yet.
Make more adepts. Just do the teleporting-between-bases robo build with +1 for the adepts.
Option 1: ASAP - Get 4 adepts in there as soon as the warp-prism can possibly be across the map (probably won't straight kill him, but might work well enough to mass-adept sac for the win OR set up option 2 later on)
Option 2: Slightly delayed - Wait for +1. You're dead if he attacks first, but if he's looking for Option 1, he might be too scared to move out.
Option 3: SG / Pylon Rush
Option 4: Die to tank / lib / mine.
Isn't something based on blink colossus viable ? or do you just die to tank pushes ?
Idk really, i'm not GM
Terran will chew you with drops while he will sit on unbreakable tank wall. This strategy was perfect in hots with shitty tanks,strong colossus and no libs
If you're opening with blink stalker, there's no reason you should be getting chewed up with drops. The bigger concern is a bio/tank push. In that scenario, you'll still want Adepts w/Immortals to ward that off.
But for most of us ladder warriors, a Blink Stalker/Colossus build is just fine. Certainly in Platinum league. Add in Tempests and some HTs in late game and choo choo to victory.
Just switch to Terran
Rush high Templar, and while they're busy typing out long complaints about how storm is somehow the most OP thing in the game, you sneak a warp prism into their main. This confuses the Terran, because you can't have 2 different things both be the most OP, and they freeze completely still in their own frustration.
Works on paper, at least
go robo then 2x forge, maybe it works, maybe you never hold a third, we'll see
Do what Blizzard has been trying to get Protoss players to do all along: Quit.
Charge will soon be 50/50 cheaper. Combination with DT blink now viable.
Rush charge, 7 gateways and a warp prism. Warp in 11 chargelots into your opponents base.
At this point you most certainly die, but hey, at least twitch chat won't crucify you for building Adepts.
Instead they will complain about Prism and Warp Ins.
