EPTAnd at this point Tempests should just say "+50 damage vs. Broodlords." Talk about a niche unit. Yikes. It also makes Carriers and BCs completely useless vs P now. IMO they should just make Tempests do AoE damage and adjust the damage/range/speed accordingly. This will make it so it still counters mass Broodlords (which is the problem, nobody has issues vs 1 or 2 Broodlords alone), but make Broodlords, BCs, and Carriers still viable units.

Absolutely unplayable. Any change to mutas doesn't matter for tvz except the widow mine change. | ||

The Tempest was an AOE anti-mutalisk unit before it got changed to a long range siege anti-massive type of unit. | ||

BC's, yeah, I totally agree. Carriers, no, that's not true. Right now Void Ray>Tempest>Carrier>Void Ray. | ||

Stalker already only do 6.9 dps to mutas this will be now further reduced to 5.9 dps due to the healing. | ||

They could just make it so they don't start this higher regen unless they have been out of combat for a while. That being said, I'm not too convinced this is the best idea. As other posters have said, mutalisks will still never be used in ZvT unless widow mines are made to not attack air. | ||

You'll love the speed hydra version.... especially when you go Stargate. This is very different then 3 base roach. Hydra are too expensive and you need to get 2 upgrades for them. Also hydra have good dps but low HP and armor. Maybe there will be a timing for pure stargate play but smart players will just switch into a hybrid stargate/robotics or stargate/templars | ||

And never had more Stalkers than Mutas. If that was the case, you were probably losing in WoL vs Mutas though :D | ||

It creates a greater incentive for mutalisks vs protoss, and at the same time creates more incentive to go phoenixes, which absolutely destroy mutas now. The +1 range encourages more people to use the micro, because it is now doable without the extra range upgrade. Plus the new passive healing doesn't change how fast mutas get eaten alive by phoenixes. And while most other toss options don't do well against mutas, this means that there are more times when toss will want to go for air units in the matchup, which is good news in my opinion, especially with the fungal change to a projectile. Now the whole air tech path is no longer instantly countered when infestors come out. It again plays to the strengths of people with good multitask and micro, who can keep an eye on their phoenixes all the time. And finally, active units like the mutalisk and the phoenix are just more interesting units, and make the matchup much more fun to watch and play than turtle into colossus, or turtle into broodlord/infestor. | ||

Air Units could just clear them from every choke with no risk. | ||

Air Units could just clear them from every choke with no risk. First of all one needs to detection (which against we don't see that often with mutas). Secondly terrans could consider combining them with turrets. Right now their role also overlaps too much with turrets i think. But anyway remove anti air and make them 1 food and everybody is happy. | ||
