Now, why would you ever use HSM on hydras, just get 2-3 tanks, and you get a longer range un-dodgeable HSM every few seconds got a clump of mutas railing on you?, a few thors will do the same level of damage every few seconds that an HSM would have done. The only time I can see using HSM a lot would be if you spot a big clumped ball of an army, and can dart in, fire off 2-4 HSMs into that ball, and dart back out. the HSM is being held weaker then it could be, because it is on a flying unit, and capable of being used to harass/whittle at an army. | ||

They should be viable ways of poking a army and keeping it on his toes. Dunno about the whole "this breaks your army, durr durr" concept. It could work as a way to demand micro from your rival, but if 1 HSM breaks half of your army, ill just wait for a push on a choke and release two from the front and back. Although seeing this would be awesome, terrans allready have ways of dealing lots and lots of damage in this situations (ie sieged tanks). I would like to see a way for the HSM to bring some sort of map control through tactical micro managment. Ok, trying to translate all that in to a simpler phrase. I would like HSM to depelop in a direction that complements the terrans tools and not to compete with the effective tools that they allready have. | ||

People have the 10 apm to tell the mutas to turn around and run away and its a waste. Aslo not to stand right onto of the ravens lol. | ||

Aslo not to stand right onto of the ravens lol. Personally I have had quite a bit of success with HSM against mutas. They stack into small pile so often that if you send a decent amount of vikings to draw the fire and attention then HSM them with your raven you'll quite often wipe them all out. No you wont be able to HSM them all match long because zerg'll be expecting it after first HSM(s), but overall I think 1-2 ravens hidden behind vikings is very effective way to deal with mutalisks, plus you'll want the ravens around to PDD hydras and scout any burrow cheese by roaches. | ||
