Sure, right now it isn't perfect (no energy, probably too much dmg), but the concept itself is similar to irradiate, was that "crap design" too? Well, just for the fact that Irradiate costs energy and this doesn't means that their designs are different... Irradiate also had low range to cast and you were in danger when casting it, this is just... fire and forget ability that kills 90% of units in the game. | ||

No counter play is false, you can repair/heal Completely unrealistic amount of control and micro and support units required just so your T3 units don't keel over and die to one spell. Counterplay involves some amount of equilibrium between the aggressor and the defender. It's the same thing with FF and TW. | ||

 Also QXC is doing a great job! Hopefully more of theses tourneys will come in the future. Apart from the balance being totally weird I like it! | ||

Dude, it's 500 damage (repairs will cost a lot), and while the damage is being done, you can just stutter step the tempests while even doing more and SCVs will have a hard time running and repairing. Even if the damage gets reduced, it's still a terrible designed because it's extremely easy to play. | ||

It would be cool if it worked like plague: health goes down to 1 hp but you can't kill the unit. Maybe that will make the spell useless though haha. | ||

Which terran is going to bring a train of 5-10 SCVs (or Queens in case of Zerg) with him every time he moves out on the map just to make sure the medivacs and vikings don't die? Granted, the Tempest is a late game unit, but Protoss late game is strong enough as it is. From a personal point of view, the last thing Protoss needs is another "one click, massive damage"-type of spell. They already have that in the High Templar. | ||

Irradiate was designed with no "smart"casting around and attached to a defenseless body, with actual energy management. It also enabled cool micro tricks such as 2 Vessels casting Irradiate on each other | ||

Which is exactly my point, "bad design" is a meme without any real meanign at this point, which is why i asked for the reasoning | ||

Even if the damage gets reduced, it's still a terrible designed because it's extremely easy to play. It's a terrible spell design for Tempests. If the spell was on the oracle or observer (for example) I think it wouldn't feel so bad (people mass Tempests, not so much Observers or Oracles) as the ability becomes more and more powerful the more units you have that can cast it (in a similar way to the ravager ability, but at least the ravager ability has some counter-play). Pretty scary how fast those Tempests are moving also, did they get a speed buff for LotV? | ||
