I like mothership the best out of the three legendary units. I feel like it has the most "utility." | ||

"storm swarm" in mineral line. That time would f*** your mining. And the spores thing is good cause it decrease the cooldown 12.5%. that means, slower units. | ||

And I can just get Ensnare if I want to slow units down... it'd be a decent high tier unit akin to an arbiter, but not really godlike/tide-changing the way the others are, is what I'm saying. | ||

You are right, it's so expensive, but it if it was less expensive it would be imba for a real game. And about the ensanre, it's not the same effect. The spores of the devoure increase the cooltime of the attack in 12.5% that means that your units attack 12.5% slower. Imagine if you use that in tanks in siege mode- The difference is really high. And actually the spell of the eradicator is 9 (!!!) spores. So 12.5x12.5x12.5x....(100%) 9 times. That makes your opponentes units attack with 30% of their normal speed. That's insane, and also their are more vulnerable to other attacks, os it's really powerful. Why do you think you have to use devourers to help mutas vs air units like carriers. And ofc carriers doesn't slow down unless you attack the interceptors >.< | ||

happened. First, the marines got totally owned by the Eradicator, which is no surprise, considering its strong melee splash attack and carapace. But second, every time I moved away my SD from defending my third, the eradicator just went in there and contaminated my SCV line. And if I could not get back fast enough with my main forces, it would almost single- handedly take down the whole base. When I _did_ return fast enough, the beast had already fled with its super speed, ready to go in there again as soon as I would leave the base with my forces. So, basically what I'm saying is that with an eradicator you have a speed shuttle loaded with two High Templars with more hit points and armor than an ultralisk. Of course, you could argue that I should have defended my base better, but with the SD-tech I just did not have enough forces (though I am quite a noob with noob-macro, of course.. ;-) ). | ||

But with a siege destroyer you have the dps of 8 tanks and a rechargable siege-tank-ranged nuke, with more hp and armor than an ultralisk too  It's not totally useless but a speed shuttle with two HTs isn't worth the cost. I guess the venom thing would be pretty good against mech though | ||

And yes, the venom should be strong, would love to see some games played where Z rapes T with venom / contaminate on sieged tanks - watch out for the EMP, though ;-) Since in my view T is basically forced to go mech against eradicator, this should be a viable strategy. | ||
