I commend you for an excellent write up (though some of the data could have been presented in a clearer way), and I would like to see these changes in action. I would at the very least like to see them tested. | ||

ItWhoSpeaks really 'gets it', understands the game at a high level, analysis is spot on on all three write-ups. Good work man. Much luck getting any or all of this to sink in at Blizz HQ. | ||

A simple small change like this, is what could make things interesting, because right now, the time for Vikings to decelerate, stop, and transform, is hurting them a lot. All in all, I'm really impressed by your threads, you've realy put a lot of thought into them and the community reflects it, especially with the test map! I really hope some of your ideas come into play, there are some good and some less good choices imo but well thought out ideas are always appreciated. I really like the snipe change too, it keeps snipe being a cool one shot spell for smaller units, but nerfs what needed nerfing without changing any other aspect of the ghost. | ||

Why would it be scary? Infested Terrans are way more powerful and dont take up as much place to spawn. Turrets right now are pretty bad. And I would scale them with Vehicle Upgrades since its less a flying unit then a vehicle. Other than that: Awesome post! I dont agree too much on the tank thing but its very thoughtout and pretty scary how good all your suggestions/reviews are. keep going! | ||

I think some of the ideas here are interesting, though. I would really like to see a slower mech style more common in lategame TvP; I think if it existed it might even help to bring out the strengths of bio play in the same scenario. | ||

Turrets are scary because they last for 3 minutes being able to much down double would be damn scary they would need duration and damage decrease to work. | ||

I hope Blizzard listens. SC2 needs... MOVING SHOT!!! Cant believe they took it out. LIke you glide in, fire your missiles/attacks off while gliding back. That made wraith micro so beautiful to watch. And to the OP. Excellent as usual! Seriously, the game would be SO much more interesting with those changes. One more thing to add to the raven is how HSMs work. They are far too binary (either lots of explosions including the death of the ravens) or nothing. They should implement something like a damage over time, or deal damage after a timer HSM spell where both gives some sort of control to the opposing player to mitigate damage. Direct damage dealing abilities (especially AOE) should be avoided at all costs due to the binary nature of them. | ||

I also find it faintly amusing (but entirely predictable) that there's a chorus of "LET HIM DESIGN THE GAME BLIZZARD" ongoing. You realize that in the grand scheme of things, these changes are incredibly minor iterations based off the designs already implemented in the game? Blizzard already did the hard work - the OP is just making a few extremely minor changes based off his own ideas, though his hit rate is a little higher than most. About the only vaguely original idea here is the idea of vikings being able to dive bomb things which while cool isn't really game changing so long as vikings only do 12 damage a second or so for the supply and minerals they cost. | ||
