It's either potentially overpowered or it's worthless. As it stands now with its energy cost, range, and cost of the Raven it's edging on the worthless side. I think you're right with that. Seeker missile is bad the way it is now but if it would be casted at longer range it would probably be totally overpowered. It's probably just a bad designed spell and really hard to balance.
Also in my opinion from just from a flavor stand point it's a redundant spell. Terran already has nukes. They already have a super high risk, high reward spell that can eradicate entire armies.
Why in the hell would you give Terrans ANOTHER one of those spells in place of something with as much potential use as Irradiate which is what Science Vessels used to have and would be EXTREMELY useful against unit compositions like Broodlord/Infestor?

But he's got a stargate up. So if he spot the mass muta, a FB and range upgrade is just a hop, skip and jumps away. It's a long Hop tho.

Serious question?
Why every zerg doesn't just do stephano's build vs FFE? whats stephanos build? I guess they mean the max on roaches at 10 minutes and Kill the P I think we need to keep it going... It's the build, where you max out on roaches at about 09:00 and go kill the toss XD Lol 9:00.. I like how it keeps getting less! Its normally about 11:30ish if the toss hasn't done any successful damage/pressure. Didn't he get maxed at like 10:00 on his stream yesterday? that was pretty sick. I thought so too, but I checked again and it seems its 11:10 http://imgur.com/h8MNR Yeah, but he didn't move out till he was at above 190, so I'm pretty sure he was 200/200 before he reached his opponent's natural.
heh, you may be right. Don't want to think too much now. The point being is that Stephanos build consists in getting a ridiculous amount of Roaches early and killing the Toss XD

Squirtle playing pretty damn good.

And now Leenock wins just because of the completely retarded map design.
Four different attack paths between the natural and 3rd is so goddamn stupid.

Agreed, something that forces repositioning on that lategame composition that isn't seeker-missile would be nice to see. That said I play Protoss but it's fearsomely difficult to engage against when it's positioned well, especially on certain maps.

I guess it's this way because terran has already a lot of options in the early and midgame. Giving the raven another useful spell could lead to some issues in the mid-game. The only phase in the game were Terran is low on options is the lategame and it seems like fixing that issue is not that easy.

No observers out no more :|

pffff, base trade. Really stupid idea.

I actually think squirtle's dead here...

that was weird, how did Leenock survive that?

This is actually the best game of today (at least until now). A back and forth PvZ where the winner wasn't decided before the lategame.
