I guess when you have masses of ranged units the thing to do is to shiftclick attack through every one of the enemy's units on your way to the battle and if your opponent didn't do the same thing you'll win? jeez if everyone starts doing this it will be like whoever engages first wins | ||

hmmm, I'm not sure what to think about this one, the game is taking away overkill prevention micro (keep in mind this ONLY occurs in units whose projectiles do not take time to reach a target), but you can sort of use this tendancy as a micro trick in itself...we will see | ||

Meh, I don't see it as a HUGE deal but it's not something I like. Is the zergling vs probe problem still in the game? (I don't play zerg - but the one where if you told 6 lings to attack a probe in a mineral path, they would spread out and attack different ones)? | ||

One siege tank shot obliterates marines, and chargelots are on your MM in a sec. It's hard to support 2-3 Facs early before Toss gets up immortals/Colossus, and if you go heavy tank, Colossus will rape you. You need that gas for Medivacs/Vikings and Ghosts. Gas comes much slower in SCII than in SCI. Anyways, take that as you will from 55-31 Plat player. I actually find my Terran matchups the hardest since I have no fucking clue what I should do. Sometimes I 2 Fac if I don't see the opponent is going Banshee. Then it turns into SCI with mass siege tank lines and drops...which isn't exactly my strong point (Siege Lines) since I'm an Age/RA95 player :p Once the game gets to that point drops are nullified by Vikings and Thors and Turrets which are a lot better in SCII than in SCI. What I've found if you can't kill off the Terran early/mid game it's going to be a long ass game 45Min-1Hr and end up in BC battles. I think I might try some sneaky ghost nuke play and hellion harass.... But how do stalkers get sight of tanks on a cliff? Turrets > Observers. You say Chargelots > Marines, but are Chargelots > Helions? I see tank strats being extremely effective in SC2, just no one seems to do them right. I don't know of any hybrid bio/mech strats for SCI yet people seem to think they can mass M&M and still make tanks. | ||

Terran: Marine, Reaper, Ghost, Tank, Thor, Viking (ground attack), Auto-Turret Protoss: Immortal Zerg: None It seems that of those, only the Tank, Thor, and Immortal actually do enough damage for this to be of huge consequence, and even then, it's not necessarily worth using in all situations. Good to know about, but I don't think it will have an overly large impact on micro, especially since I haven't seen any of those units in large enough numbers that splitting damage manually would be especially hard. | ||

Waypoint targeting key units in a wave will be very very good with this system tho, because lack of overkill will stop wasted shots. Exellent find! | ||
