EPTThe mutalisk buff is interesting too. I think something along those lines could definitely help them to stay relevant in their role as a harass unit without making them overpowered.

They add very little to the Mech composition, especially to how it plays, without the anti-air capability. Especially now that they nerfed focus fire with them. Even though you are a relatively high level player Blade5555 and I respect your opinion, I still haven't heard a good argument as to why (high level at least) Zerg's won't be able to just use multiple Overseers to harass. As in, keeping an Overseer outside of the bases that you would harass, and using them to sweep for mines shortly before you poke into that base with your Mutas. Is it because of the risk of a Terran player simply planting Widow Mines outside of their base - just randomly on the map? (Because you can't keep an Overseer with your Muta pack at all times without drastically slowing them down?) I agree with you but because of widowmine, they must buff muta up the butt to compensate for one unit. All these buff to mutas could really skewer the zvp match up just trying to keep mine in the game. Although taking the anti air out of mine terran mech will be impossible. Right now terran mech can fight toss ground to ground decently well, atleast in last patch. The only problem was toss air transition that completely wrecks it. Same goes to zerg viper BL w/e ball. | ||

It is one of the most unsatisfying things to watch in SC2 More importanly you should hope they undo the nerfs they gave it in WOL's beta. those nerfs combined with how expensive grooved spines are( Really hydralisk should have 6 range default and no range upgrade at all but thats beside the point) Ruined the Unit. | ||

I miss the green spitting hydralisks of old! New patch looks interesting, but I'm still unsure how mutas fare against widow mines. This coming from someone who does not have the beta. | ||

And I really hope Oracle get use, but if it can't hit the board once is out, considering the huge gas requirement, is gonna be useless as Void Rays in WoL right now. In PvZ, the new muta make a must the stargate play from the P, or a 10 min all-in. Blink is not gonna be enough aganist the new mutas, so any non-sg macro play is almost a lose vs muta. That blind bo win sucks. | ||

also the upgrade nerf makes it even harder to switch to air in the late game, i thought blizzard wanted mech to be viable in all matchups and the generally stronger late game combo. | ||

The only reliable way to beat them before if you went mech was BC with Yamato, but now that the bonus against massive is so big I don't know if that is even feasible anymore. Protoss super air army may be impossible for Terran to stop. I think the new Thor attack should get some Bonus damage to massive or should be better overall to compensate. Right Toss air is probably not really beatable Vikings really don't cut it alone and the rest of Terran anti-air is a total joke against this. | ||
