If you react in 0.1 seconds you can block stalkers and mutas for about 1 second, or they retreat and you wasted your energy. Edit: Actually nvm having 1 in your army is fine against DTs I suppose. | ||

Until then, it's purely a defensive endgame unit. Or something to one base all in Protoss with, of course. | ||

Raven move speed is 2.25, same as unstimmed infantry and siege tanks but slower than vikings. Can terran not escort their raven with two vikings ? It's got a sight of 11 so I'm not seeing why it needs to be super out in front of the main army anyways. | ||

Also there is acceleration which is really bad for Ravens it feels like. | ||

2.25 is the standard ground speed for units that should not be considered slow nor fast by design. | ||

Except when you are using them in a midgame defensive utility to catch burrowed banelings, that 2.25 is terrible. Recon units need speed to be effective, especially something as expensive as a Raven. You have to look at the usage for each unit. | ||

In a situation where you leapfrog siege tanks, if you have the apm to spare to bring a raven and take a semi-good care of it, you can not only make sure not to get baneling bombed, but also remove creep. I think we will definitly more of this in pro matches. | ||

As your army grows in variety, then it will likely be required to move more slowly and methodically. And it's not a complete requirement, if the terran feels a moment where they need to stim and rush forward they always have a scan but by keeping a raven around they can greatly reduce the amount of scans necessary. | ||

Since this is in the LR for today games I think you should see it in that context. The terran army was stationary at a watch tower for a long time. The protoss warped in DTs one at a time and sent them in untill the terran had used 10+ scans to kill them. Don't tell me swapping the Starport for a tech lab and make one raven sin't worth 10 * 50 OC energy. Not to mention you get the added benefit of PDD. | ||
