Units with too much damage in 1 or 2 shots

I feel like LotV have intoduced 2 units that do way to much damage.

Disruptor, 1 shooting almost every unit, In mass you basically cant engage into 6-8 Disruptors

Liberators, 2 shooting almost every unit. In mass you need to mass air units

They create to much damage to easy with almost no way to mitigate after that.


If you get hit by 2 Disruptors shots you more often lose the game
Liberators spreads circles over the whole natural, well you cant do a thing.

This units are pretty early to.

I think the DPS could probably be lowered in general, because I agree in that huge damage can end the game very quickly. However, I read LiquidSnute's answer in Stuchiu' article and it makes sense, higher tier units need to be powerful to overcome mass tier one units.

That was a problem in ZvP that was fixed by making them even harder to get... and they dont 1 shot or 2 shoots.

Liberators are in all matchups a problem
Disruptors are in all matchups a problem ( Disruptors / Mass Stalkers)

I agree but problem is that they are not that hard to get, Liberators being early.

So no they aren't high tier units...

Lets not go into fantasy land, Marines can avoid lurkers in so many ways.

Lurkers aren't even used in ZvT

Liberators are pretty much everywhere in mass

For me this is a really good thing. It means you cannot just brute force your way to victory once your slightly ahead, comebacks will be more common and intelligent play throughout the game will be necassary. Means you can hold positions on the map and contain bases, all which is cool play in my book.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

It also means that 1 mistake = auto-lose

It will be "terrible terrible damage", more then Hots

Yep what Snute is talking about is the scalable-problem. We should have more units that are better in lower numbers than when massed, and in fact I think Blizzard did a pretty decent job in that regard with LOTV.

anti deathball bandaid design + terrible terrible damage yeah
but I guess to fix the game in the state that it was/is......
though creating huge tension all the time where a 1 second being away from the action mistake costs you tons and potentially make you lose the game, definitely doesn't make a RTS good. Hard and good are two different things which can go together, or not.
In my opinion.
