EPTLotV closed beta announced to start on March 31 - Page 19
| Forum Index > Legacy of the Void |
Thanks to Reddit sleuths, everyone can try the LotV test maps by following instructions here. Note: This is not a beta key, it is simply access to Vs. AI and a Unit Tester. I have no idea how cool with this Blizzard is or is not, use at your own risk. | ||

I always hate when some casters during a vP say "wow that micro" and I just look closer to the video, interestingly asking out loud "where?" I hate that they focus so much around abilities anyways. It always feels so frustrating to play vs toss, since you never lose to an army, but to abilities. I wish they would just remove concussive shell. Silly passive ability.

I think these wards aren't counterable without detection though Blizzard just wants it to be different from BW for the sake of being different =\ Whether or not it is a better design decision is not justified (and often later shown to be not). I am not asking for a BW clone; I just prefer a potentially better game over one that is the way it is because of stubborness and pride. | ||

Oh yeah ofc. I just meant you cannot amove into them and destroy them before they activate that way (i think) | ||

While that is true, it is still not the same sort of "action". I am jost annoyed by the same word for two completely different actions. Of course if you split a game in just 2 things (micro, macro) then both things (forcefields and army management, stutterstepping or whatever) are micro. | ||

If Ghost is a good answer for late game TvP, maybe Spectre could fill a specialized role in TvZ lategame, or TvT? Unsure exactly what though | ||

It would help with holding pre-stim blink bullsh*t. | ||

I hate that Blink just laughs at CS On March 19 2015 06:49 Grumbels wrote: Also no mention of raven / colossus nerf, so that's evidence for blizz not mentioning nerfs for pr purposes. the raven needs a nerf? Didn't know that. Overall I would feel better if the colossus gets patched out since it is the #1 reason for having deathballs | ||

I would be fine if they just made it affect biological units. Basically if a unit is caught, it is dead. There is no excitement there. I would rather Blizzard fine tune the turn rates, damage points, backswing, and range slop so micro battles are not so predictable and units do not feel so liquidy. Design over balance. | ||

Well the raven sucks at its job unless you mass the crap at them :/ Plus. it doesn't set traps. all it does is deter. For the most part the enemy just slams in and its too late. Terran needs spells that punish blindly charging into a tank line. | ||
