If anything they should nerf the damage.
they should make it dodgeable
No.
Thats the worst, old seeker never connected unless it was a slow as shit unit or there was so many seekers it didnt really mattered.
Single missile should do realiable damage and be balanced around that.
The old seeker was good at zoning out and in big fight, you had to spread+ micro the targeted units, so no, it was an interesting spell. The cancer ones were the old auto turrets and the pdd.
Wich meant nobody used them unless they went mass ravens, nobody made a few Ravens just to "zone out".
Meanwhile we see people getting 1 or 2 ravens with their Bio as support, something that has never happened in the meta before.

Zergs are clearly still doing better, its just now the Terrans actually have something to counter the ridiculously OP Zerg late game army. And that is only good for the game!
I like terran having a lategame but mass ravens have been cancerous anytime they were the meta.
Agreed they were, I just don't feel that way right now. The new AA ability is very interesting and I think the war of positioning and quick fingers between them and Vipers is very nice to watch. The Raven ghost combo seems to be a little bit OP, but Zergs have tons of units to counter that they just have to adapt, same as Terrans had to when ultras or vipers started to get OP
Not sure I'd consider sOs - Maru and Classic - Dear a must watch. Impact - Dear was so so, Maru vs Solar was good and the 2 Trap series were absolutely insane.
I'm finding it downright alarming how good a Terran has to play to beat a Protoss or more specifically a Zerg. You shouldn't need to play for 25 minutes each time you are ahead. When other races are ahead the game is over in 10 minutes. I think a patch needs to be released sometime soon. 1/8 of the worlds finalists was a Terran and he's on another level mechanically twice as good as his opponents.
When a fan favourite player plays cancerous build, it is all ok. Maru is smart that he only starts doing this when he's the only terran left so other terrans cannot use it to their success in this season. Pretty sure he has the build practiced over and over in the team house. I would think rogue knows how to counter it in the late game. If not, this build can kill the game. Not my 'great day of starcraft'.
When terran complained about parasitic bomb or fungal, they were (are) told to learn to spread, attack earlier, try other comps, etc.
Same thing for zerg now. And unlike the above spells, you need to spend 2k+ gas before you can actually do decent damage with the missiles. And they are the only decent option for T. So less whining, more trying to learn to play versus something new. Or as they loved saying after the hydra / viper changes when every terran would die to random hydra + whatever bust, "it's too recent, play more to get used to the new patch §§§" "you need to figure the new things out" "bwahahah terrans whining whenever they can't stim to the win".

Maru is NOT twice as good as his opponents mechanically and you clearly haven't watched much PvZ if you think Terran is the only race that struggles with putting away Zerg in a macro game.
The only series I'd say isn't worth watching was Rogue v Hurricane because they were so one sided and didn't have much in the way of strategic diversity lol.
Some of the other series weren't amazing but they were at least interesting or entertaining

Yea. Maru was getting sooooo much ahead of Solar in game 4 with his banshees killing so many hatcheries and drones/queens/creep/spores and even then it was still a really close game that he could have lost instantly. Solar wasn't doing all that much damage to Maru and he still had to wait until he had like 15 ravens in order to actually get a real advantage.
If this new Raven gets nerfed, then Zerg will have to have something nerfed as well to compensate imo.
