I am a Prophet! I knew they will lower the damage of the Locusts from 16 to 14! HA! And I really like the Viper change, I also knew that the Blinding Cloud will be buffed. Warhound change seems good, they won't have as much dps anymore, but don't know if it is enough. We will see, there will be a tons of more patches. Overall, quite happy. | ||

They could make them cost 50 minerals, you get 2 like with zerglings and build on reactor and nobody would mind. | ||

But just imagine what they can do to a group of clumped mutas or overlords full of roaches. | ||

Let's say you fight an toss army of stalkers and some immortals. If you could target the haywire missles yourself, you could a-move into the stalker, firing the regular shots against them, and manually target the immortals with the missles (instead of wasting regular shots on hardend shields). | ||

It still has 13.6 DPS with normal attack, and 18.6 DPS with missile. It has 220 HP. It's 2 supply and cost 25/25 more than stalker. While stalker has 6.7 DPS, 160 HP, and 2 supply. And roach has 8 DPS, 145 HP, and 2 supply. And it kites like crazy with their normal attack range of 7 and missile range of 10. It's fucking longer than colossus. | ||

Which is fine, no need for large sweeping nerfs, do it incremental until you get a sweet spot. | ||

This will encourage less massing of these units, leading to more variety in unit composition. I'm all for making haywire missiles not autocastable, though. I would actually switch the supply on tanks and warhounds. With 2 supply tanks, it would be more incentive to make them a main part of the army, and the opposite for 3 supply warhounds. It would reward good micro, but if you wanted to just a-move, you could still do it, just need more supply depots | ||
