What misinformation is this? Reavers are better than Templar during the early game with smaller army skirmishes.

I remember on that map, Stork lost to Shine so I naturally thought he was referring to Shine. My mistake, it does look imba. Funny thing is Bisu beat Shine on this map of all places.

this. Reaver splash is far more devastating in the early - mid game skirmishes
late game when its harder to dodge storms; THEN storms are more effective than reavers

Meh, you don't really have to harass a lot with mech if you can just turtle properly. It's possible to let the Zerg take all the expos he wants and still win the game.

what medieval mech is this? yea, maybe long time ago that was possible, before hyvaa beat fantasy on medusa sometime last year when he did the same basic things to win

these days you gotta harass, harass, and keep on harassing

I haven't played with mech a lot on HBR, but on Desti it is still very much viable to just turtle up and slowly, slowly creep forward to eventually take out the side expos (and then the Zerg will starve to death). Not much need for harassment at all.

that's completely wrong

if the game was even templars would RAPE reavers

flying had to storm zealot/dragoons, when the reavers showed up he had nothing left


Indeed. Reavers are never better than templars. Harder to micro, slower in firing rate. Easier to kill. Flying lost that battle because Stork had more zealots and better dragoon arc. Which made up for his disadvantageous tech tree.




Temps do an abstract damage, because they don't actually do any damage, only storm. Reavers do real damage, and it can only help to have reavers. If you have reavers, you pretty much have a shuttle too, and gives you the ability to harass, especially useful because the map was outsider... pretty much made for reavers.

When is there ever a situation where you had small army with high templars? You can't even support hts on one base economy. Flying's army was about the smallest as it can get once a player reaches storm tech.

I'm not sure what you're implying.

1. How is storm damage not real damage?
2. Why won't you have a shuttle with templar tech when all players tech to observers?
3. Why is reaver harass better than templar drop?
Meh

he meant that the templar doesnt have a normal attack, only storm, which doesnt do guaranteed damage. with a reaver you're gonna have little bombs going off every few seconds guaranteed. its variable how much they kill cuz of splash, but not nearly as much as storm, and you dont have to wait for 75 mana to get it.

he wasnt talking about tech, but the shuttle itself, since reavers are essentially useless without a shuttle. templars are just fine walking along with an army so you dont necessarily have shuttles if you focused on hts.

he didnt say reaver harass was better than temp drop, just said that reaver harass is really good on outsider, which it is because the setup makes it very hard to chase down shuttles and you can just fly around killing shit, instead of storm drops which are more of a one big shot and run away kind of thing.

1. Storms are just storms, it works best in clusters, therefore its more optimal in late game pvp. I think he means that in between storms ht can't attack.

2. Not everyone techs to obs really early. If you watched flying play, his obs tech was really late, so its not like his shuttle is going to get there any earlier.

3. In reaver harass, you can most likely keep ur reavers alive. =) Storm drops might kill more though.

Just as I thought.

It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

Fbh's build was pretty clever though. 3 fac +1 weapon mass goliath build. And action played really greedy getting too many drones.

I still don't see how any of these reasoning show that reaver tech can be better than templar tech. You're on a pro team. Do the protosses on CJ really think Stork's tech order in the game isn't disadvantageous to Flying's?

if you dont see how those reasons show that reaver is better than ht for early battles its not really worth explaining it to you any more. read the first paragraph until it sinks in.

I'm not saying templars are better than reavers early game. But that's an academic assertion because of how high the tech is in of itself. Hence it is almost by definition impossible to apply to early game situations.

Flying BO was basically super-fast HTs off of two bases. Yet he pushed out after 6 gateways. Early battles simply don't apply to templars.
