It needs some rebalancing, of course, but the concept is cool. If you take a fight against ravagers, you need to constantly reposition your units so that you avoid the ravager's ability. It requires much more apm to play against ravagers and fights last longer as well. To be fair I think in open engagements it's better to aim at the army rather than forcefields, but the effect is the same. The protoss player has to pull back his units and therefore he won't be able to attack behind the forcefields. | ||

I agree: the unit is far from "absoutely bs and uninspired" and is actually one if Blizz' fresher ideas for SC in recent years. Just needs some tweaks is all | ||

I see your point of it being uninspired, because right now it just looks like a hyperroach with corrosive bile on top of it. But if you are ok with playing roach or roach/hydra, the only thing against it I can think of is the bile-spam. Which I hope blizzard will deal with somehow. Either directly (technically limiting the spell more) or indirectly (strategically limiting the ravager more). And since the unit looks too strong, I think there is a high chance this will happen. | ||

If they change that it at least wouldn't annoy me anymore^^ Though i still think it would be an extremely unoriginal morph for a zerg unit. I like the idea to let roaches morph into something, but THAT is really the best blizzard could think of? Meh | ||

If the mortar dealt bigger damage but with long cooldown and no standard attack for the ravager that could be interesting, making it more of a tactical bomber than an easy complement to hydraroach that just spams fireballs to boot. | ||

I thought the corrosive bile was supposed to be its main feature, not have base stats that make it more cost effective than hydralisks versus ground units as well. As most of their Blizzcon presentation videos, the one on the ravager was very poorly done to showcase what the unit should be able to do. | ||

I can already see the great raining wall of Ravager defense. It's obvious that with Ravagers, we will see more micro, more dogding, more stalling, its effect is kinda lika the old SH. Yeah why not make all units be able to shoot stuff on thin air, more range, 50% more damage if it hits something, it will be super fun micro battle all day. Endless marine, tank, stalker micro, a new sort of RTS is born. Guys, remember the Gunblade from Squall? Combine it with the Ultralisk, pressing B right when it hits a marine => 50% more damage. Don't miss the timing on this awesome micro. | ||
