If you find that there is too much overlap with the colossus, rework the colossus (or remove it to replace it with another unit ;D), if anything. Not sure about the disruptor being able to attack air. Maybe have 2 different modes of attack, one for ground only, similar to how it works currently, and another different one for air only. That way you create a decision when you activate your ability. For now I'm enjoying the unit way more than a colossus. And imo if you micro well enough you come out ahead. The problem is disruptor + warp prism. This combo comes out way too quickly and is way too strong. You basically need dedicated anti-air to counter it. Yeah you aren't kidding let a protoss do disruptor/warp prism, no muta = disruptor destroys your mineral line. | ||

That's what the invulnerability accomplishes and its why I am not a fan of replacing it with a shield. But you are on to something about giving it a weakness to certain units. Perhaps it could be vulnerable some type of splash/abilities. Like what if Storm/Fungal/Widow Mines could counter it? That would create a bit of a new dynamic while maintaining its role as anti-deathball in most situations. I was thinking forcefield and fungal growth could counter it if they reworked the invulnerability. Dropships also counter it since you can qúickly pick up your units. Imo, they need to rework the unit so that it can be 250 gas or something, 300 is just so much. | ||

Won´t warp prism and medivac+tank mean that zerg has to get mutas or corruptors in every build or have no chance to stop the harras if the attacker does not screw up? | ||

Right now, it looks like there isn't a single situation where you would build the adept over a stalker. I think the adept needs: -a shadow buff : it being able to fly? -a DPS buff : it's ridiculous that it's lower than the stalker (in general) which is known to be a low dps unit. -a speed buff, in order to make it more useful as a map control unit in the early game Carrier: The carrier "release interceptor" ability looks like it has this purpose: let the interceptors fly over an area without committing your carrier there. This can be useful, for example, for 1) harassing - if your opponent has an undefended mineral line/production facilities you can release the interceptors without risking that your carrier gets killed by vikings/corruptors/etc. 2) "map control" or for defending from drops, you can release the interceptors in a common drop route and they will kill stuff pretty fast. The issues are, in order of importance (imo): - you can't focus fire with interceptors, meaning that if there's a spore crawler in a mineral line, for example, they will focus that instead of the workers, making the interceptors basically useless. I don't understand why they have to prevent you from microing something. - you lose all your interceptors, so you have to replace them. Releasing interceptors on a full carrier is like throwing 200 minerals down the drain. - interceptors "disappear" even if they don't get killed, which discourages the "map control" usage I like this ability but honestly I think they should reduce the cost of interceptors to make it really viable. Down to 15-20 minerals or something. | ||

- you can't focus fire with interceptors - interceptors "disappear" even if they don't get killed wow, pretty amazing the ways they can come up with to mess up a cool idea. All people have asked for - for the last 5-6 years - is brood war-like carrier control and we still don't have it | ||

Now when they build for 90 seconds, and have new ability that let you send interceptors to attack one area but have duration and die in the end, they are a lot more useful. I've seen guys send Interceptors with that ability and just recall out, and Interceptors destroy whole base alone while Carriers aren't there. Nobody is forcing you to use that ability though. | ||

I use that ability all the time and I like the concept but I feel like it can be improved. You have to be allowed to focus fire, obviously interceptors will still be bound to the location they were originally released. It feels pretty ridiculous where you release interceptors in a mineral line with a turret, and all the interceptors target the turret doing 0 damage while you could kill lots of workers if you could focus fire. | ||

randomly dieing at the end of the cast just isn't good | ||

Anybody knows more? - Flying unit (built with the starport). - Air To Air high fire rate but low damage - Ability : switch to Air to Ground with big range but unable to move (range 9) Honestly this is quite similar to how I imagined the Viking to be redesigned (which I still think is highly preferable. the game needs to be cleaned up instead of being overflood with overlapping units). | ||
