Sweet, a hellion buff would make counter-sentry/immortal play way easier

Also, there is nothing wrong with encouraging more mech play. I can't wait to actually try the raven/tank/marine opening into ghost mech, especially once the hellion buff comes out.

Seems to be the case. I wonder if they even know who nony is.



Even if nony use Phoenix well, it's still a pretty crappy anti-air unit if you compare it to the Corsair.

I guess everything is in the eye of the beholder. When I read making them a bit more easy to use I actually read that as the change they are making is to actually give phoenix and hellion some improved micro capability. Especially considering how much people have been asking for that.

Yeah, how dare they try to make the game, as a whole, more fun? Don't they know that pro-level balance is the only thing that matters?

Game would be even more fun for everybody if they didn't ignore all other shitty units just because people didn't vote enough for them in some random survey O_o

I don't think Phoenix needs a buff at all right now. Mayyybe they could use an upgrade on the fleet-beacon to make them more viable late game once armies get huge.

Overseer upgrade should be cool. New spell for infestor is definitely welcome.

Hellions - I don't really care. Making their attack no longer stop their movement for so long might be nice.

The reason people dislike hellions is obviously because they're sluggish and unresponsive and feel like ass to micro - not because they're weak. Hope they don't get buffed.

Oh, and FrozenArbiter - Epic post! :D

No that is not what they are saying, they are refering more to how 'fun' the unit is. They aren't necessarily going to just 'buff' the unit, rather than change the ability to make it more of a useful/fun unit. Doesn't always mean buff. there can be lateral changes! ^^

Phoenix buff is good. Wouldn't mind if it became a standard unit PvZ like the Corsair is in BW.

buffs to phoenix which is already powerful...based off of a survvey? Really Dustin Browder? This is how we're balancing SC2 now...really?

Zerg needs more buffs...really Dustin Browder? Really? How about buffing the reaper giving it a damage upgrade after factory tech to make it useful? Really?

well...if they add in moving shot, then that'll be one step in the right direction + Show Spoiler +
to Brood War playability with moving shot units.

The thing about the pro-gaming scene is, at least with Starcraft's history, if you leave them at it long enough, they'll figure it out.

So long as the core of Starcraft remains, that is: small selection of units, pretty much every single one is overpowered one way or another, everything has a job to do and things get awesomely complex when you start combining units together, the pro-gaming scene is going to be fine.

And its funny how fickle some of you guys are. These are the same people that got us to this tight point of balance already.

They don't just land these numbers by dumb luck.

I am seriously going to punch a wall if:

- Phoenix damage increased
- Phoenix cost and build time decreased

Instead of

- Phoenix backswing reworked.

You know the only problem with Phoenix is the job it was supposed to do is terrible at it. The Phoenix wasn't supposed to be a harras unit, it was supposed to be an air control fighter, something that could give toss control of the skies, the gravaton beam was more envisioned to lift up critical units so the ground army could break through.

At the moment, the Phoenix does the job of the Vulture when it should be doing the job of the sair.

Also easier to use could just mean a moving shot seems like a good thing to me overall.

Me too! I think all they really need to do is allow for the attack/move. (Moving shot). And possibly even change movement speed or something.

i'd like to know why they are buffing phoenixes right now and make no mention of corruptors. theyre both similar air to air units but one is clearly very useful in all matchups and the other is only good for killing colossi. and halting production

Wtf who complained that Phoenixes were too weak or not enough fun to use? Didn't they watch Nony's stream? T_T

On a more serious note: this seems to indicate that there will be another patch that gets wasted on irrelevant stuff, which means another two weeks of beta time less to get to the important parts. My highly complex calculations estimate the probability of this game getting fixed before the end of beta to be 0.3142 now. Which means the probability of it being fubar is now approximately 0.6858.
