Yup, after those games I'm starting to think real units are overated. I mean, they cost so much money and supply and all that stuff...


You are actually correct though. Broodlord Infestor back in WoL was the most abusive style ever, and it relied largely upon free units (broodlings and infested Terrans).

Mass raven is one of the strongest lategame compositions, which relies on mass auto-turrets, point defense drones, and seeker missiles. Swarmhosts are also free unit generators.

Because the goal of the game is to reach an army composition where you can rely on free units, and because Protoss free units cannot attack (hallucinations), this is why we see so many Protoss all ins to stop Zerg and Terran from reaching the late game free units stage.

Haha



Interesting theorycrafting. But don't you think Protoss had so good results because Terran and Zerg free units can attack, wich make them more like real units, thus making them weaker ?


Well, I think the root of all the problems is the fact that Protoss doesn't have any free attacking units. Thus, if you make interceptors free (keeping the build time though), you would not only solve all the problems of balance, but also make Carriers viable. After all, why would you go for a two base blink when you could go for an oracle into 2 base carrier rush?

Axiom aren't a one-man team like EG. But oh the horror of the thought, I'd be crushed if Axiom get reverse-all-killed.

But we could see the emergence of proxy carrier in PvP. I guess we should make the tempests spawn a free unit instead of shooting to counter that ?

Well, I did a quick look, and I believe that Terrans are able to get ravens out before the carrier hits with all interceptors. In that case, it becomes a game of positioning, between the powerful auto turrets and the mobile interceptors. It would revolutionize the matchup for the better.

As for PvP, if you though stalker vs. stalker micro was intense, I believe carrier vs. carrier micro would take the matchup to the next level, both in skill cap and viewer enjoyment

Kind of surprised they revived Leenock. I think his ZvP is kind of weak compared to his other matchups and even though it would be PvP I think San would have the better chance at an all kill

Sending out Leenock is a mistake in my opinion. San has shown he can all-kill Axiom in the past. He is more likely to pull off a miracle than Leenock. Leenock may take a few games but I can't see him winning five.

Nice ! I suggest we reduce carrier speed by 50% then. That would make mistakes more punishing and both PvP and PvT would get more tense.
