Does DK know that Terran air isn't a viable comp versus zerg? The Viper swarm ability shrecks air comps over 20 supply because the viper spell stacks with itself (compare it to storm which doesn't stack with itself). There aren't going to be terran air comps against zerg that exceed 10 flying units.

I kinda think that the separation of the upgrades (and other changes, like the ultralisk one) might be a nudge-nudge towards just having a bio-centric composition, and molding other units around it, anything from banshees and thors to liberators and widow mines. I don't think mech the way we envision it (position-oriented) is going to work out except in a heavily turtling situation, which might be amplified by the lower-econ situation (to gather more resources for an optimal force, players might hang back even more so than before because of how mech and air units scale; or, conversely, they'll drop the concept altogether in favor of the more mobile bio if the bases and buildings and stars simply don't align).

Time to use Ghosts.
Have you seen recent TvP's?

With the Marauder Nerfed, small Zealot speed buff, and Adepts tanking, gateway+archons + some Immortal/air support is working well vs bio. No more deathballs, no more Colossi.

And guess what? Terran is using Ghosts. 3-6 at a time. Micro dances between EMPs, Snipes and HT's moving, splitting and FF.

Some Ghost buff and ready. EMPs/Snipes trash Vikings from 10 range.

I will believe that when I see good players making ghosts versus zerg. Right now, that transition does not pay off enough to make good players do it in competitive matches.

That said, if they did some kind of buff/change to make it viable I think it would be good for the game. Maybe adjust Emp so it was actually possible to accurately hit air units? (I never know if I am casting on their shadow or on them) Or just straight buff emp is terran counter casting is easier.

Anyone enjoying using Liberators? I mean not in terms of "they are really strong" or "they allow me to use a different style", but rather in terms of them being fun to control?

It's hard to say anything about liberators as long as the targetting circles "bug" isn't clarified.

It's not a bug.

Liberator A make circle A to the left, liberator B make circle B to the right. Liberator A can shoot into circle A or B. Same for liberator B.

The only requirement is the range. The circles must be in the range of each liberator. Each liberator share the circles if they are able to shoot into.

I thought they said it was a bug and not intended ? Now I'm confused.

Of course it is. What is up with the sad face, though? Does anyone really want this stupid mechanic where one unit "teleports" all the rest's missiles to a circle?

small question: does the corruptor now have both abilities, caustic spray AND corruption? or has caustic spray been removed?

thx for the answer
