It just seems so wrong in a RTS game. I don't know they are so insisting on 15 range. Why not try out 8-10 range with fast movement speed and balance it around that? This way enemies might actually be able to attack it and it could incentivize more actual engagements. I very much dislike the concept that one unit (tempest) forces another unit (Corrupters/Vipers) instead of creating interactions where micro is the primary driver of who wins an engagement. | ||

Well, Tempests were there to force the engagement and stop turtling, but since this is almost gone away in LotV, I can see them changing Tempests quite a bit. | ||

I mean, it's cool to force aggressive expanding, but I feel like turtling should still be a possibility, being countered by overexpanding, and you just can't do that with bases drying up soooo fast. Turtling is still a possiblity, but now you are not turtling on 3 bases with 60 apm requried. Now you are turtling on 5-6 bases that requires a lot more skill to defend and manage. It is a superb change and there will be so much butthurt when all of the old 2 base all inners realise its not valid anymore. all that aside the gameplay is much better when there is action all over and not the 20 min turtle to deathball. | ||

In those exhibition matches, Jaedong + Zest had 4 Ravagers while SoO + Polt had like 2 Stalker and 2 Sentries or something like that. LOL! I guess they are, I wanted to rush Ravagers and rushed Lair cuz I thought it was needed. Definitely think it needs to be Lair tech. To the nay sayers of Protoss in new eco, I 2 robo Disruptored a bunch of my opponenents, using all gas for Disruptor harass, while using all minerals for expanding and mass cannoning. Then Carriers! | ||

My cyclones stop shooting before I reach the edge of the indicators. Did the creators intentionally nerf the cyclone from what we saw at blizzcon. It definitely seems like the range is not as far. I think the Cyclone is very bugged in the current version, in particular it's upgrade does nothing but increase the range indicator, not the real range or the leash range. | ||

If I have multiple hercs selected and attempt to grapple to multiple units, only one grapples and then I can't even grapple others while having the same group of hercs selected, because the game thinks I'm trying to re-grapple with the first one that grappled. Yeah, experienced this too | ||

Closest unit to the target casts, instead of every unit. That's smart cast.  | ||

Is that supposed to be this way? Maybe you can get a hit if you issue an order immediately after the Grapple animation is over, I think I got a hit against a fleeing Probe like that; but not sure. | ||

Assuming the second only starts storming when the first runs out of energy. The herc goes on cooldown after one use, so you would think the next would queue up at that point. | ||

Yes, but mainly because of the shenanigans you could pull off with irradiate and defense matrix. ^^ | ||
