Awesome, really nice to see they implemented it!
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

This is actually huge! <3 Tyler.

Now just decrease the fucking buildtime by 10-20 secs, disallow fungal to work on interceptors and we're set for the carrier :>

I never thought it would actually be implemented.. This is amazing!

Thanks so much for making that video, NonY! You might have singlehandedly changed how the protoss match-ups will play out in HotS. Considering this, even though it existed before, let's call it Tyler-micro when ever it happens, as a way to credit the change to him (much like what artosis pylon derived from) :D

It's funny that Blizzard didn't document it because they don't want to admit they took a lesson from BW.

Or they just forgot? Or they just changed it and wanted us to find out on our own?

There's almost always undocumented changes in Blizzard patches, it has nothing to do with BW.

This is really fantastic! I don't understand why they kept us in the dark about it. It's easily one of the most requested changes by Protoss players.... that's really odd.

Neat. Glad they put this in. Can't wait to learn how to use it effectively. Now if they'd just reduce the damn build time a bit...

Is there any confirmation on whether interceptors stay out of the carrier now when the unit continues moving similar to BW? I understand the graviton catapult makes that less useful in sc2 but it'd still be nice to have.

Wait, if the unit you attack first dies while you're in leash range, does the interceptors return to the carrier or do they auto-target something else?

(Assuming that you didn't have time to issue another attack command, e.g. you killed a marine instantaneously.)

Its going to be hard as hell to hit a interceptor with projectile fungal. All they have to do is micro switch targets and it will miss.

Well, that's really cool.

But that doesn't mean I've forgotten about how god damn long it takes to build one. Oh no, I have not forgotten.

Now remove the boring tempest and replace it with something cool? 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.


There's also the fact that Intercepters can be shot by GtA, while Tempests can't. And Intercepters cost money to build.
So you know, cats are interesting. They are kind of like girls. If they come up and talk to you, it's great. But if you try to talk to them, it doesn't always go so well. - Shigeru Miyamoto
