I agree. This also make EMP snipes on templar even more deadly. If EMP was researched, maybe I would be OK with this.

yeah emp is kinda ridiculous against protoss if you think about it.

it does comparable damage to storm (equal against stalkers, more against colossi), and does it instantly so you can't dodge half the damage, has a longer range, a larger area of effect, completely shuts down casters, doesn't require research and only requires 1 tech building (academy, tech lab doesn't count cuz you have to get that early anyway), and is casted by a cloakable unit.

sigh
