Void Rays? Oracles are the damn problem! Defend with zealot/stalker early game, and then mass oracle! I've seen this so many times. And mech will die to 1) immortals 2) void rays and 3) oracles! + Vikings are friggin useless against oracles too. Protoss air has become too op imo. terran reaper change i like. | ||

Just looking at their other units and looking for synergies will do the trick. They dont really work well together. Games "WAY back" dont matter anymore since they removed the bonus damage from the Reaper ... | ||

Have an icon pop up like stim that'll blink as it wears off AND/OR have the beam glow a different hue, e.g. darker hue. Right now its so subtle, its hard to tell the beam got bigger from the overlap from more than one beam or if prismatic alignment was used. | ||

Though I guess most people will move the Voids with attack move, that way it is easier to run away from them. | ||

Guess they forgot the extended range on those things, which makes running away kinda hard. Activate the beam and move towards the opponent, no way they get out of range without losing half of their army unless they are super fast units. I had Zergs try it with Corruptors. Each Voidray basically gets on Corrupter before they leave the range. Though I guess most people will move the Voids with attack move, that way it is easier to run away from them. extended range should really be removed. there's no reason for it now that Void charge can be triggered on command rather than reliant on charging up via sustained attack on a single target. | ||

Reaper change is logical. Ehh, void ray supply was already too much but oh well. | ||

I wish they would turn them back into the heavy micro variant, they are no fun anymore with their charge on a button. I like units that overkill alot, especially liked the Voidray with its special variant of Overkill, it gives you a reason to control them better. I like the extended range also as it makes it more interesting to micro against Voidrays and they aren't hard countered by Vikings that way. They wouldn't really work with Range 6 only, because of the way they attack. | ||

Void Ray supply increase seems stupid, simply because VRs aren't just too good lategame, they're also too good mid game. Just nerf their damage. Burrow change might crease interesting plays, or it might just give Zergs an unneeded boost to their ability to outmacro Protoss and Terrans safely. We'll see. More importantly, where are the lategame buffs to mech? Where are the changes to Protoss to decrease reliance on a big dumb deathball? | ||

Overall I like the change a lot it will make burrow much more useful and the option to delay lair tech much more 'doable'. | ||

That's why it's hard to micro against them... | ||

Earlier burrow just means you have to add turret at the front if you sense the zerg player is planning on being aggressive. It is similar to TvP, where you throw down a turret at 6mins mark. Burrow definitely changes the entire early stage of the game completely, but I am sure it will only encourage more aggressive play rather than turtle death-ball play. | ||

a good player will pay attention and even bait out the ability, wait for the charge to die then proceed to attack. dafuq are they thinking, they're babying the micro for noobies. | ||
