useless video. if you micro your muta its easier to kill thor since thor deal less damage than they did before. you think people will stack muta against thor now ? probably not. this is a buff only if you play against noob, but against pro this is a nerf. thor are even more useless now at pro level. | ||

-_-' Plus splash damage as many people have probably said can scale hideously well depending on clustered the other units are. You were only fighting like 1/5th of the health of all those mutas so its like uber exaggerated. I rather see 30 Thors vs the equivalent amount of Infestors. | ||

in a game with good people, you wont amass 30 thors, or 90 mutas. you wont see mutas running straight into a group of thros and just taking it in the face. etc etc EDIT - also, thors hardcounter to mutas? no... they are far to slow and depend on splash damage. gg. | ||

Alright, let's do some math. Thor 400HP 1 armor 10 range 32 dmg per volley 3 sec cooldown Mutalisk 120HP 0 armor 3 range 9 dmg per hit 1.5246 sec cooldown To take down a Mutalisk, a Thor needs 4 shots, that's a total of a 9 second delay between the shots; so 9 seconds to kill a Mutalisk. In 9 seconds, a Mutalisk will shoot 5.9, can't really round up because it wouldn't make sense, but I will anyways, just for you. So one Mutalisk gets 6 shots. 3 Mutalisks would land 18. 6*3*8 = 144dmg. 8 and not 9 because Thor has one armor (assuming equal upgrades). So by the time the Thor has killed one Muta, he still has 256HP left. Now in the next 9 seconds given to the Thor to kill the second Muta, they will have inflicted 6*2*8 = 96dmg. By the time the Thor has killed two Mutas, he'll have 160HP left. The Thor will have 112 HP left after killing all three. I didn't take regen into consideration, but frankly, it wouldn't make a difference. I also didn't even mention the range, which implies that Mutas will be taking a shot before getting into range, and that first shot might actually spread AoE because of the units clumping together. Also, I failed to take into account the shooting animation time, I don't think it would tip this scenario in the mutas' favor, but frankly I can't be bothered to find out. 1 thor is also less expensive than 3 mutas. What have we found out today? Mindless speculation and theorycraft is useless. Go try out these pointless scenarios in game if you're actually going to spit nonsense. | ||

Thor Movement Speed: 1.875 Muta Movement Speed: 3.75 Mutas are twice the Speed of Thors. For Reference: Standard Ground Speed: 2.25 Standard Air Speed: 2.75 | ||

Having said that it is still necessary to adjust the stats of the units to make them perform more like they are supposed to in Blizzards eyes. Adding splash damage to Thors seems like a good idea, because it is a HUGE unit. NOT building a ton of Mutas when you know your opponent has a lot of Thors is like not building more Vikings when the Zerg has Hydras. Just deal with it, adjust your strategy and stop whining ... and most important: scout your enemy! | ||
