plat 1, how do i beat mass cyclones as protoss?
I just had the most frustrating game, where I killed 8 workers with a two stalker opening and retreated before his first cyclone was built...
Then I kept trying to keep the pressure on with blink stalkers, but they'd lock-on at the same range as the stalkers, then retreat. I would blink forward to try and catch them, but soon after they'd be out of range again. I even had a battery island and they could still attack into, then retreat over and over again until everything i had was dead.
...Until I got zealot charge, I had lost twice as much as them. The first fight with charge zealots I wiped most of their army, before the cyclones fully got away.
But then after that, if I blinked forward poorly or attacked a little off and stalkers got targeted by the lockons, then they disappeared, and the zealots would disappear soon after from the hellions.
I tried range collosus because of their range, but the DPS of the cyclones would melt my entire army when id get two swipes with my cyclones.
I know mass immortal can crush it, but that takes a lot of times to get up.
Is this simply an issue of control... it did seem like if I always had the zealots in front, and waited till the lockons happened, while also stutter stepping my zealots forward, then blinking forward, I could catch him.,.. but it was so many complicated steps and boxes.
If I have pure blink stalkers, is it just always a mistake to blink forward? Should i only be blinking back as i attack forward? What if they scan and the lock-on isn't even broken?
What do i do?? T_T
At the end I checked the APM and I had the highest APM ive ever had at 140, while there's was at 80... even while microing the cyclones perfectly out of range all of the time.
IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!
