But I think thats because maradeurs are way more cost effective compared to other terran units. Blizzard should've think of that. I've tried new psi storm, it literally sucks. Terran just stims and ran away barely damaged. That skill supposed to counter multiple cheap small units so that opponet didn't mass them. It would force terran to use high level units  | ||

With all of their switching of bonus damage to base damage I think they are trying to soften some of the hard counters. Not sure about storm thou. | ||

Blizzard has so far shown a remarkable ability to respond to feedback and trends fairly quickly. Rest assured, if Protoss is losing too much after this patch, then they will buff Protoss; if HTs aren't used enough, then they will buff HTs; if Roaches aren't used enough, then they will buff Roaches. If anyone can't handle this, then they really shouldn't be in the Beta in the first place. | ||

At least increase the total damage to compensate for area reduction. Also if structures were not classified as "armored" they would be more durable. Seems like buildings are way too fragile from the way armies can simply run into expansions and snipe the cc/hatchery/nexus before running back out. | ||

My suggestion is to keep storm the same, but make the animation smaller. Right now, the storming animation covers a much larger area than it damages and I think that's why people think it's so good. With a smaller area, people don't need to pull back their entire army, they just pull back 4 units. Problem solved. | ||

Saying psi storms are overpowered when people deliberately ball up their units is like saying mutas are overpowered when you build nothing but zealots. During a battle when all the units are in a big firing line, storms hits like 4 guys. Now that there are high HP units such as roaches and marauders, I don't see what's the problem in 20 dps for 4 seconds on 4 measly units at the cost of a whopping 150 gas. Let's look at sc1. Storms do 114 damage at a larger radius, and the average unit has less HP. Storms are fair because in competitive play, people don't clump up all their units, or at least try not to. The same thing applies in sc2. My suggestion is to keep storm the same, but make the animation smaller. Right now, the storming animation covers a much larger area than it damages and I think that's why people think it's so good. With a smaller area, people don't need to pull back their entire army, they just pull back 4 units. Problem solved. Please enlighten me on how to not clump all the units? The collision size is so much smaller amongst units accompanied by the fact that most units used are ranged in SC2. Hydras could dodge storm much easier in SC1 and were much cheaper. It's nigh impossible not to attack in a ball, they almost automatically do it, even if you just tell them to run to the enemy. | ||

SC1 units could potentially clump like SC2 units do, they just don't because the pathing AI makes them scatter or pause a bit. Also the magic box probably had something to do with it. Blizzard really needs to implement some sort of hold-formation+move command and, on a completely unrelated note, bring back F2-F4 screen position hotkeys. | ||

Units definitely couldn't clump as close in SC1. | ||

Units clump up more due to less collision size, and the removal of the magic box means that units will automatically try to clump up no matter how they are ordered to move. | ||

It's nigh impossible not to attack in a ball, they almost automatically do it, even if you just tell them to run to the enemy. use multiple control groups? just attack in a couple staggered clumps rather than one giant ball and see what happens, I see top players doing it all the time and it works wonders on both collosi and storm. when you do this your units will naturally make a very nice arc when attacking, which is much harder to storm than the giant ball that you get if you 1a your units in. if you arc correctly, those 150 gas templar can hit... maybe 4 marauders with storm. | ||
