they needed moving attack, not attacking while moving.
No, what they need (and what Hellion/Muta/others need) is animation canceling. I think we need to stop referring to what they need as any combination of the words "moving attack" because it clearly has Blizzard very confused.

If you want Blizzard to put obscure controls into SC2, you're going to be waiting a long time. Move and shoot means move and shoot. Not move, patrol, attack, move, patrol, etc.
Animation cancelling isn't an obscure control. God, this is incredibly lame.
I still remember the first time I saw a pro do the moving shot and spent a bunch of time in micro maps trying to copy it So sad to see this travesty.
Not really liking the Thor AA change...it just got even more specialized for Banshee/Muta. Not that they were useful in TvT before, but it's like Blizz wants a BC fest.

Take a step back, think about the changes taken as a whole, and give the patch some play time before making all these snap judgments.
This patch should makes thinks interesting, that much is for sure. I can't wait to see what some of the very top players do with some of these changes. :D
How the hell can you NOT look at Phoenix moving shot in isolation.

The new Corruptor ability looks like the most useless ability I've ever seen in any game. And the Phoenix is just ridiculous. Now it's no use to build another air unit vs P ever again.
