I like it. In late game pvt it is a game winner: vortex can put half the terrans' army into the void while you take out the second one, and than surround and finish off the first. Also recall on production facilities is as good as in sc1, only you can recall your ENTIRE army.

I am seriously going to punch a wall if:

Instead of

You're going to be disappointed when you read:

All Blizzard needs to do is make its units benefit more from micro. No numerical changes needed unless it promotes MICRO BASED balancing. COME ON Blizzard!! They don't even realize how bad they're going to mess up the game for people vested in competitive play if they don't start reworking key units to be balanced around MICRO not A-MOVE.
REEBUH!!!

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.

Well, SC didn't get 'fixed' until patch 1.08 which was a few years after release...
+ Show Spoiler +
So I'd like to see your complex calculations on the probability of the game getting fixed by 2012.

since both infester and overseer is probably gonna get changed im putting my money on that they move the infested terrans to the overseer and add a complete new spell for infester

thor is probably gonna have less cast time, be smaller and in compensation less dmg or hp

i think hellions will get a more stable attack (less cooldown and less dmg)

phonix its a tough call tho. they might just decrease speed of it and make it more robust, maybe give it back the overload spell or w/e it was called. will be interesting :D

im really happy they r trying to make the game more fun because that interests me more than balance atm

That would be really sweet. I hope they go with this idea.

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

You dare defy the results of a random survey that ultimately decides the end result of SC2?

The obviously most powerful units are the favorites, regardless of whether they are fun to play with or against, who would have guessed?

i really like this idea, they are good but i think they need just a few changes to really get people to use them or even incorporate them into there armies. lets hope this next patch is a good one

surprised no one mentioned the "We are going to try another ability in that (infested terran) slot in future patches."

but yea...the buff to phoenix could be really good depending on how they do it.

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.

Why does it HAVE to do the job of the sair? Just because its a rough equivalent in tech? Maybe its not so good as an anti-air role because its so powerful as a harasser and even in a main army with the graviton beam disabling units.

1- Thor size reduced.
2- Hellions now shoot a constant fire beam while moving like the void rays, so you cannot escape!


All they have to do is reduce the size to 1/4th and rename it goliath and I'll be happy.

Thor replaced with goliaths (which are in the campaign) - Thor now a campaign unit


Phoenix becomes Corsair

I feel like Blizzard is trying too hard to cater to people that aren't going to put half the effort into getting better at Starcraft 2 as most people put just leveling to C on iCCup.

I guess from a business standpoint that's all fine and solid, but trying to make everyone happy is only going leave some people very unhappy, and they choose to leave the ones who care the most about the game more or less in the dust. Awesome.

I hope they get rid of that slight delay before the hellion attack, it makes controlling them so awkward.
