Because they were considered too weak with the additions that came with HotS


What, widow mines? So they made them super strong vs. Protoss because of ZvT? That doesn't sound like good design to me.


They wanted to encourage "board control" as well I think

Old mutas could never beat new phoenixes though.

I am not sure what are you referring to?


Screwing up a winnable game, then winning decisively with the same comp in the next one.

You got that wrong, Zest is the one that screwed up in the next game, not TRUE in the first...

Phoenix range also got increased from 4 to 5 + the oracle would make stargate openings possible

True wins 1 game with mutas and the balance whine is already started?

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but maybe Zest didn't build Phoenixes caues he respected TRUE. Zest was sure that TRUE saw that he was ready for the the Phoenix transition and thus thought that TRUE wouldn't build a ton of mutas again, especially after losing that game, and chose not to build phoenixes. That may just be overthinking though.

New mutas could never beat new phoenixes, too. Not in even numbers and stuff. Also, corruptors lose to mass phoenix which is fun. Corrupters in general just suck.

Unfortunately trying to balance gameplay does always means fun gameplay.


Muta's are very fun to watch IMO.
Swarm hosts are way more boring, and lings roaches and hydras bumping against forcefields makes me sad.

Uhm...
I'm quite happy there's more variation in ZvP nowadays. With the Phoenix Range upgrade, Muta's were basically deleted from the matchup until the buff came.

yeah, mutas are fun to watch. But they are just about the worst thing to play against as Terran or Protoss, that's why many people hate them
Just ahead of time, know your addiction's not a crime. It's just a smaller part of who you want to become in the end.

Players like True do very well in situations like that previous game. If Zest makes phoenix when he knows there are already corrupters on the field and double evo he is putting himself into a very difficult game. If he doesnt make mutas and he makes phoenix he loses badly, if he makes phoenix and then true masses mutas and corrupters or a few infestors he will probably lose on the air and ground. Not to mention he will be on fewer bases.

The game was already over by the time zest could have made phoenix but did not.

pheonix were buffed after mutas were buffed . in response to keep it just like before .
corruptors dont lose neighter win vs pheonix . they have same range . if protoss "stack" 20 pheonix and zerg is careless he will lost coruptors ( if they are not stacked ) . but corruptor stack vs pheonix stack is usualy win for corruptors .

They don't have the same range. Phoenixes got 5 and 7 after the upgrade, Corruptors have 6.

When Phoenixes are upgraded, they beat every Zerg air unit in equal numbers, and you pretty much need mass Queens/Hydras or Infestors to beat them.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Anion Pulse Crystals was added during WoL and the muta buff was part of HotS.
