He never built any air unit, never built a core (it's canon ability can kill 2 warhounds on its own!), and seldomly if ever made any upgrades... It was as if he was failing on purpose. But then, maybe he's really just so unable to imagine a solution when concentrating only on the problem? Either way, it weirded me out as hell to watch that. | ||

PvZ is looking to be a more dynamic matchup than before, every other matchup I've looked at looks a bit worse, albeit with players who haven't figured out optimal builds. Again though, it's early days but a lot of the complaints that myself and others were shot down for posting on the BR report threads were entirely accurate. Also @ the UI changes, nope not liking that at all. That's personal preference I guess but for me good economy management/keeping track of idle units and the like is part of what differentiates competent players from incompetent ones. | ||

I for one have always liked to check upgrades and stuff It's a setting, and it's on "can't click" by default. Just go to the settings, it's where you disable the red enemy health bars too. (this hint sadly not based on personal experience) | ||

What I'd like to see as a solution to this would actually be for them to attack faster or do more damage per shot the closer the target is. It would make sense that to send a missile longer you would spent some of the explosive force on that, hence the longer recharge between attacks. If Tempest had the damage it has now at max range ( 22 ) and when it got closer to the target the attack speed picked up, becoming on par dps with carrier or BC at 7-10 range or so I feel the unit would be worth it's weight in gold. Current Tempest dps is 9 for a pretty huge investment, with 30 damage being inflicted every 3,3 seconds. If Tempest had 3,3 attack speed at 16-22 yard range, 2.3 attack speed at 10-15 and 1.3 attack speed at 0-9 yards their DPS would be upped to 23 in a realistic battle instead of doing less dps than a single marine. | ||

They are great harass / engage forcers and positional control units, but once the battle actually starts you'll have at least 6 basically dead supply for high cost.

I really do think the problems with it would be fixed with an idea like this. It's intriguing to consider increasing it's attack speed as the range decreases, maybe have it increase exponentially? I'm not sure how the numbers would have to go but that's the best idea I've heard for the Tempest. | ||

The tempest shoots a large ball that decreases in size the farther it gets. The tempest does aoe damage in the area of the ball. This means that at its full range it will do point damage and at closer ranges do aoe damage. Reading this thread I'm sure if we put 3-4 forum members together they can come up with really good concepts that will work well. This leads me to believe that blizzard is really incompetent. | ||
