EPTSeriously thou, I agree with 90% of this. Force Fields are much more game changing than stim (IMO), but harder to pull off well.
I think forcefields will become much more effective once we start using maps with more open centers.

And even more important than the practical suggestions, the principle behind the "wow" factor. i know, it just didnt feel right not to comment this. | ||

 If Blizzard does not alter spell etc. as you suggest, I hope us players will find more "wow" usages for different units in the time to come. | ||

Spreading your marines doesn't prevent fazing - but it makes it a lot harder to execute (especially if the Protoss is trying to multitask). Making the void rays run is good as well, since it increases the likelihood that they will lose their charge (especially against worse players). And that's the key to the whole thing, both sides of VR harass are dependent on execution. Good players will be able to retreat and not lose their charge and still be annoying, whereas someone like myself may be able to get off some hits and runs before leaving and a terrible player will just run away. curious, how much spreading from the terran player do u think will be enough to be viable? it just seems to me that the terran micro of spreading units is wayy more demanding than the void ray micro of fazing. is it ok as long as the nearest two marines are not side by side, or does it require that not a single marine is side by side with another? what do u think about for a counter: 1 viking + marines defense against viod rays? 111 is quite standard now, and the the range combination of the viking to land hits, and then have a wall of marines threaten with damage before the voids can land shots on the vikings might be viable? but seirously, the entire article is so on the money. forward it to a balance design staff member... | ||

But: If the shield could block EMP, going for ghosts somewhat early in pvt would be too risky, it costs too much for the terran if it can be that easily blocked. To make a EMP blocking shield you would have to make sentries more expensive , or add a upgrade to do it. Most likely both. But maybe that would be a welcomed upgrade to the pretty much useless twilight council... I would like something like what you said with fungal growth. But I think it would be fair to add some more benefit from it if its gonna be a delay on it, like making it so that units that walk into the area where it was casted, right after cast, gets stuck too. And if theyre gonna make storm stronger as you suggest, they would have to add some cast time on that too. And I still think it would break the game for many beginners. Seeing all your marauders tanks and medivacs gets melted to a few HT because you didnt manage to react to the few dots on the minimap would break many a terran beginners heart. And the fazing on the void rays are awesome! Had no idea about that :o | ||

Edit: this should be a final edit. Plexa, you're outdone yourself <3 <3 <3 Edit2: But before it is an FE it needs spell/grammar checking. I noticed a few errors myself but I'm too drunk to remember them right now. | ||

This article is very constructive and written with a great amount of clarity, definitely a high-quality read. While I do think that Blizzard does have more time to make changes, I really think that this article should be brought to their attention sooner rather than later. | ||
