That doesn't seem all that useful Archons never had a very large splash radius, and especially not in the full damage zone. I'd actually be pretty surprised if a 0.4 radius for secondary splash even hit a neighboring Zergling in SC2. | ||

I think storm needs a buff, maybe so that it does bonus damage to armored and whatever type hydras are. Blizzard could also make starcraft like AOE3 with the whole %bonus damage vs specific unit types sort of thing. Like instead of armor types... certain units could just do more damage against certain other units. It's hard to explain. If you've played AOE3 you'll know what I'm talking about. | ||

It is because you have misunderstood how it works. The radius mentioned is not the radius from the PF, it is the radius from where its shots lands. | ||

Don't get me wrong. I'm a Protoss player, so that's why I'm hoping for a PF nerf. But in my opinion, HSM should remain as strong as it is now. | ||

from Wikipedia A software bug is the common term used to describe an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in unintended ways. The planetary fortress is obviously a bug, but the hunter seeker missile might not be. We would have to know if they are just overriding the 50% damage area by changing a single number instead of taking the long way around. I would venture a guess that the PF damage and the HSM are good bugs though. No one is complaining about either being imbalanced, so I hope blizzard updates what they say about the abilities and not the actual damage in game. | ||

The dual cannons will hit around the 'target' making the surrounding area take more damage then the centre. At least on one axis... The center target would still take the most damage because it's getting ripped apart by shockwaves from all sides. The damage from an explosive isn't the fireworks, it's the boom. | ||

<CEffectDamage id="PlanetaryFortress" parent="DU_WEAP"> <EditorCategories value="Race:Terran"/> <Kind value="Splash"/> <Amount value="40"/> <Death value="Fire"/> <SearchFilters value="Ground;Self,Player,Ally,Missile,Stasis,Dead,Hidden,Invulnerable"/> <AreaArray Radius="0.5" Fraction="1.5"/> <AreaArray Radius="0.8" Fraction="0.75"/> <AreaArray Radius="1.25" Fraction="0.375"/> <ExcludeArray Value="Outer"/> <ExcludeArray Value="Target"/> </CEffectDamage> Its doing 1.5x damage to all targets within the 0.5 radius when it should just be 1x, splash attacks also don't hit the actual target its attacking and they just get damaged by the splash itself. The Archon's splash radius is significantly smaller compared to SC1, the max radius was 25% smaller than the siege tank when in SC2 its closer to 35% smaller. | ||

Yeah it would make the game far easier to balance but the problem is that there would be fewer hard counters. Everything would be rather soft. This means that the winning player would be the one who won the first battle.. considering that the high ground miss chance has been removed. It's better than what it is currently where immortals do lots of damage to small units and buildings though. | ||
