its gonna take more than that to beat wol colossi or hots SHs as most amove

well yeah the current version of the carrier and how it works in the game is bad, but that could change if blizzard actually tried to solve it

and I think carriers are far more interesting than mass tempests killing everything from two screens away.

SH's actually took skill, aside from games on Overgrowth, it was always the better playing winning. SH turtle was the hardest ZvP style to play, while mass carrier is the easiest PvZ. pretty big difference if you ask me

At least with tempests focus fire is important, so i disagree with your opinion

I thought carriers actually have decent micro potential with the interceptor AI changes
But it is probably just because that when you actually have the critical number of carriers micro them is not really important
