What? That never was the problem. You could simply micro around Corruptors due to Corruptors moving slower than Mutas. Corruptor DPS vs Phoenix is terrible anyway. The strength of Mutas has always been their speed and harass potential. By having them accompanied by Corruptors takes that strength away. Nobody was using 1 phoenix to kill 50 mutas in a real game. I actually like the Phoenix change because it might actually make them be somewhat useful late game rather than flying paperweights. | ||

Phoenixes are incredibly good against mutalisks. They beat mutas for cost even in a straight up a-move fight, and when microed properly each phoenix can kill many times its own cost in mutas. Yes, if the zerg invests about five times as much into mutalisks than you do into phoenixes then he'll win anyway, if you only use the phoenixes you spent 20% as much on. But say Zerg goes for, I dunno, 20 mutalisks, counting the cost of the spire that's 2200/2200. You can afford three stargates and 12 phoenixes for about that much, which gives you rapid phoenix production and will shred 20 mutalisks without any trouble at all. In WoL that would then leave you with three stargates sitting around doing nothing, but this is HotS where you can then transition into tempests (or maybe even carriers if their new microability makes them viable, but I doubt that) or make a bunch of oracles and void rays, assuming their recent changes make them viable. | ||

Because the skill-less will always complain since they turn everything into crap but don't realise it was their own fault  . | ||

If anything, WoL Zerg is one of the most boring races ever, and the changes are badly needed. | ||

Who needs Burrow Charge when you can send in your 150-health Vipers and Abduct your 35-damage Ultras into your opponent's deathball? | ||

This way, overlord are doing damage buffers and you are pretty sure your vipers do not act like suicide machines I would almost pay money to see your face droop after you test this out. | ||
