The changes seem reasonable, even though I am quite sure there are a ton of changes to come. Not sure what to think about blizz not removing carriers, as they just don't really have a role. They can be employed in late-late game pvp, which is very gimmicky even then, and in pvz they get totally smashed by fungal and corruptors, not to mention that the new tempest will completely outshine the carrier in fighting lategame pvz broodlord armies, so basically the tempest is just an better version of the carrier in its role. I am hoping to see some changes in the beloved carrier : 3 | ||

He only had 3 tempests but they made a huge difference. Zealot archon didnt outright lose to a 9 collossus protoss. Lategame PvP revoling around gateway units and not mass colossus could be so good, it would open up so much room for warpgate-based harassment... | ||

That's quite the buff you are asking for. I'd be happy with 35/55. | ||

If we locate a better design for the warhound, it will return to the beta; until then, please play the game and give your feedback without the warhound in mind. " which means it might come back. but then maybe have a armory requiermet or cost 200-200 or take up 3-4 suply. Nice though that the carrier is back. such a vital unit in the late game against zerg. I personally think that the Tempest should have a Air splash dmg instead of 30+massive. it still cost 300-300 which is alot... make it 30 dmg to ground and 30+ splash against air and it would become a very usefull unit. | ||

Their old old damage was 35/70, which would be fierce. On September 15 2012 07:08 PauseBreak wrote: What do you mean? Charge Lots, Stalkers, Archons, Immortals and Colossus are still in the game? Short-ranged units require a lot of positioning and control to be effective, because without it, most of them will be unable to fight in any given engagement. That's Zealots and Archons. Stalkers are the antithesis of an 'A-move' unit. They're very weak fighters for their cost, but can make up for it with mobility (i.e. micro). Immortals/Colossi are kinda boring. No disagreement there. They benefit significantly from a bit of target-firing and repositioning during battle, but... not very microable. | ||

It's an iconic unit, like a Zealot, DT, Seige Tank, Hydra or Marine. | ||

I approve of these changes. I hope Terran gets an interesting and dynamic replacement for the warhound and that the carrier is also redesigned. Right now they're not cost or time efficient tech options except vs mass infestors since they can't be fungaled very easily. | ||

Still glad to have Carriers back though <3 | ||
