So it'll be corruptors and vipers that counter them as zerg I guess? Ah, and the spore wall of course. | ||

What the fuck is blizzard thinking, I thought it was going to be OK but the design is fucking awful, just transform and wait for it to kill, siege unit should reward control like in the WoL TvZ where a terran that focused banelings got rewarded for it, this units has 0 micro what so ever, just transform back and forth, once the unit steps out (or doesn't steps in at all) it becomes useless, the damage doesn't really mathers the ground attack is designed awfully. And the unit itself its not much better, a valkyrie had a lot of maneuverability, this unit can only be 1A into battle. Did they learn't nothing from the viking? Whats with blizzard making air units unresponsive as fuck? | ||

The tempest didn't end up being a remarkably good siege unit (except where swarm hosts were concerned) than it did a hard-counter unit, and the widow mine got relegated to timing defense and parade pushes. Still, can't really tell whether the liberator's redundant or it'll find its own niche. It does sound like something that could outright stomp down ling-bane-muta, though (the way I see it, a large enough cloud of liberators can simply clean house on drone lines while keeping mutas at bay; when the forced engagement comes, they'll just mosey on home to get rid of the mutas while standard bio takes care of the rest). | ||

I would really love it if Blizzard would start inviting pros like day9, bunny, nony, catz, etc. to blizzard and stream them playing hundreds of games and talking about what they like and dont like... wouldn't that be a fun way for them to make money and improve the game... they could sponsor it and make it into something that people would watch and give feedback on... Stop making so much sense. This is Blizzard we're talking about here, not valve. | ||

As has been pointed out a couple of times, protoss needed this unit much more. Tempest should be like this so toss has some form of static space control. | ||

"As has been pointed out a couple of times, protoss needed this unit much more. Tempest should be like this so toss has some form of static space control." I completely agree, but instead of Protoss getting meaningful design reworks to Gateway units and additional space control, they got the Adept which is still in a kind of weird spot and the Disruptor which is just awful to watch/play against as well, it literally is the epitome of a gimmick unit, when used with your main army it's terrible against anyone with masters + level micro and when it's used with Prism range drop it's hilariously broken (or at the very least hilariously gimmicky). And why no economy changes? That should have been one of the very first things that Blizzard prioritized, how can anything be balanced when this new economy so blatantly favors Zerg and so blatantly hurts Protoss on a sheer production/expansion level? This beta is starting to go downhill fast, the more patches come out the more I'm convinced the balance team has no clue what direction they actually want to take the game short of, "everything is going to get to the killing and explosions alot faster guys!" Stop fine tuning units, that's for the end of the beta and the early post release, where are the design changes? | ||

It doesn't matter if you kill 1 unit per second or 5 units after 5 seconds, in the end if it has to deploy and does a shit-ton of damage in a zone from long-range, that's a siege tank alright :D Other than the obvious OPness of the unit, the model and animation are quite cool . I think it could easily be redesigned into a good unit, so there is that. Even just tweaking the numbers on the AG attack could improve it a lot: like shorter range, smaller area, longer deploy time (with visual warning), way longer cool down, less damage etc... | ||

Could be a placeholder though. | ||
