It's not just balance but also because of how the ability works, let's not go full paranoid conspiracy theory immediately like some others in this thread. Storm and parasitic bomb at least have you microing out of it/ singling out the infected, this missile just instantly paints your army orange. Also it lasts for 21 seconds.

Balance wise it's hard to see this thing not becoming a problem tbh. It needs to get the fungal treatment or there's going to be a lot of beautiful paint jobs in the near future.


To be fair with vikings against parasitic bomb you basically lose all of them even when you do micro.


And to be fair the time units get out of storm they get heavily damaged, and warp-prism+storm vs T seems very broken atm at top level.

But yep it's probably way too strong once the Terran have 10+ ravens with energy. Trading before this point is not impossible tho, we have seen this with TY vs Rogue, for example.

2 Zerg, 1 Terran and 1 Protoss in the top 4 in Katowice.

TvZ: 50.6%
ZvP: 49.6%
PvT: 53.0%

The game is insanely well balanced given how diverse the races are.

Intentional delays because they know the ro4 will be over in record time?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Can you not micro against it by pulling units away like the old seeker missile?

The new missile is virtually instant.

It doesn't have a 1 sec delay before flying to the target and it moves real fast, so you can't.

Maru making it far, hope he wins, but I think huge task to get past Rogue who took down TY.

Other abilities are not beyond changing/ nerfing of course but it's surprising they thought this new one is a good idea after all the ability history we have accumulated. And by surprising I mean disappointing obviously.

I Protoss winner, could it be?

Pre-splitting your units, tempest, feedback, multi-prong attacks, blink forward and snipe, constant trading, parasitic bomb.

There are plenty of ways to fight Ravens.

If Ravens were too strong we would see more than 2 Terrans in the top 12.

Well you have to survive to the mass ravens stage
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Maybe the real problem isn't Ravens but speed Banshees?

The greatest strength of the new missile is that it somehow prevent zergs from ever, ever pre split their army. Some kind of long range mind control of the zerg player, maybe ?

Or hit timings before the terran manages to pool 2k gas without dying.

Or not going for 5 full reprod of corr / BL when your opponent has 20 ravens and 20 vikings.
