Why not try to make it work? Don't see the issue tbh, units which are iconic for starcraft should be playable in starcraft

no, every unit should be playable in some situations, and that's always been the case with carriers. I don't see a way to make them actually a good unit for the game, they're possibly the most a-move and mindless unit in Starcraft


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

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

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
