Really good video, thank you.

I think it's also very important to point out that these changes would not affect the lower leagues, as anything micro intensive really just doesn't exist down there (and if it's tried it's at the expense of macro).

Wow I want this in sc2 so badly, why does blizzard not hold on to awesome things like this... Thanks Nony for the great video!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Every word you said was 100% correct.
There is simply no reason to not do this in Hots beta and test it out

I hope old bw micro gets implemented for the carrier. Since the carrier never received any changes at all in WoL its the least the could do

This is very awesome, and I hope implemented in some way to SC2, but it isn't going to be the cure all to the carrier, even if balanced perfectly. A major difference between SC2 and BW in terms of the Carrier was the units dedicated to fight against them (vT in BW, and vZ in SC2, where the Carrier is used most).
Corruptor vs Goliath.
The corruptor is a fellow air unit, so the primary benefit of the move away carrier micro is lost, being able to abuse cliffs and terrain to attack the Goliath's without being hit back by outranging them, whereas Corruptors ignore this and can carry on moving. So even if the opportunity was there (no doubt it would help) corruptors would just be able to keep chasing, unlike Goliaths.

This isn't even talking about the problem of infestors

I think Blizzard is hesitating to implement the "old" carrier because it would overlap a little bit with role of the tempest.


Tempest wasn't around in wol though so thats a poor excuess. Tempest might not be needed if the carrier gets its old feel back, and im ok with that.

I actually agree with you... the carrier is a much cooler unit but blizzard might not want to scratch the tempest..
Then again they did actually remove the warhound recently so there might be hope!

So insightful, we can only hope that blizzard listens and tries it out. It looks really fun and nice the way BW carriers worked.

I would love to see this in HotS. Seems like it would be really fun to play with and wont change how carriers are used right now if people choose to simply A - move.

This is great! Is there any thing like this that breaks down reaver micro? As SC2 is my first RTS I have heard about reavers and how they added so much to the dynamics of protoss, but honestly I have no idea how they where used in SC/BW.

Maybe I would be higher than C- as Protoss if I knew how to fucking use Carriers in bw. Where was this video 3 years ago, Tyler!

this should have been down 2.5 years ago in WoL beta! Great example of why Carriers are so shitty in sc2, you just can't micro them...

There's a bunch of differences between BW and SC2 Carrier micro details that you listed out, and I'm wondering in what order would you personally like to have "returned" to its former state?

Here are the ones I can recall:

1. Target switching in leash zone
2. Able to self select / target interceptors
3. Continuous deployment of interceptors while moving

Also, the movement pattern of the interceptors seem quite different between BW and SC2, which would affect the "death rate" and "dps rate" of interceptors I imagine.
