I like to think there's one rogue programmer working at Blizzard who masked new ammo launch code as code for the new collapsible rocks. | ||

They will probably do that in LotV ;P I actually kinda like the possible relationship between the Carrier and the Tempest. With the Tempest, you get a long-range (range 15) siege flier that is easier to use but has lower DPS. With the Carrier, you get a sorta long-range (Interceptor release range 8, leash range 14) siege flier that is harder to use but has higher DPS. A skilled player can possibly make Carriers do wonders, but at the cost of babysitting the Carriers to make maximum use of their leash-range target-switching. Meanwhile, a Tempest doesn't require as much babysitting as long as it's positioned correctly, but at the cost of some DPS. I wonder how all theorycrafting will turn out in the live game, however. | ||

+1 tempest hate is baffling to me. The unit is cool. | ||

I don't think there's a need for instant full interceptor launch. First because it looks more like a bug than anything else. Second because it makes an upgrade relevant. Anyway, I love it. thanks Blizz <3 | ||

 Interceptors still return if you attack, stop, and move. You can't instantly launch like BW, though with gravitic launcher it's not necessary, tbh. | ||

Can anybody confirm whether they did? I love the carrier change that was carried out by blizzard, to allow more micro. However, "deploying interceptors with stop command" is in my eyes nothing less than a bug or at the very least, extremely confusing and counter intuitive; if it was possible to have them out at all times, why not simply have them always out? It makes no sense to add a bug-exploit that doesn't even do much, after the quick-lauch upgrade. | ||

There were numerous more differences than just the micro why carriers were good against terran in bw, and most of those reasons are absent in sc2. It does give me hope at least that perhaps DB and kim might be willing to make some other necessary changes though, not that much hope though. | ||
