You can see it affects mostly flying spellcasters, mostly because they can be so well grouped. IMO
I dunno man, mass infestors was a thing not that long ago

Ravens are pretty good in other match-ups as well you just don't need to mass them as much. Disable against protoss and reducing the armor spell is actually pretty overpowered in any match-ups.

messing with that unit just a single time could change it into a gas dump unit this unit is so hard to balance:[

When's the last time you've seen more than 1 raven made in the same game by a pro player outside of TvT? They're okay in the early stages of PvT but as the game goes long you don't make them. In TvZ you generally never make them. In TvT it's amazing at every stage to have ravens.

Yeah, but somehow infestor is an interesting exception. If Ghosts didn't have the snipe nobody would mass them either.

Nah, 0 chance Bomber advances and a good thing as well. He would get stomped even harder in the next rounds... Really does not belong to this level anymore.

Ravens provide utility i didn't say you need to mass them. They are still used to disable colossi or any other protoss unit and anti-armor missile is used although less in all MUs also. I'm just saying having a few ravens is beneficial. I'm not sure why people hate ravens in TvT, they are a huge gass investment. Bomber didn't lose because of ravens, after he had the initial advantage in vikings he stopped producing them and played so passive with poorer macro and just got outplayed. Raven's just counter BCs...
