This is the case with a lot of things in this game. it's actually pretty simple. don't chase after the phoenix, if he has to move towards you, then you can shoot it before he micros away. the move-shot thing is only really good when the mutas chase the phoenix, and also helps against ovis/lifted units, though it really just makes it easier to use instead of more effective. | ||

Do none of you actually micro your units according to health? If your muta leading the pack takes a couple shots while chasing what do you do?! Why, you move him to the back of the pack, he can't be focused down due to the way this mechanic works. Ever think about more than one control group? Split your muta's into two groups and apply basic tactics with terms such as "Flank". It's honestly not that big of an issue unless he somehow has equal or more phoenixes and ground units then your muta's and ground units, in which case you're doing it wrong as a zerg player as you should tech switch out of muta's at that point! | ||

I lost my first placement match because my hotkeys were off, and my Menu Bar was conveniently unclickable. Never happened before the patch (before the reset) >.> I had one game where no hotkeys worked at first. Alt-tabbed out and back in and everything worked again. Didn't coincide with a patch though. | ||

There's pretty much no difference between what the guy in the video does, and what would happen if you just attack-moved...except you can't focus fire at all, so it's actually worse. The proper way to Phoenix micro is to run the Phoenix around just out of range of the Mutas, so that the Phoenix can attack them without being attacked themselves. THIS way, the Phoenix are quite deadly. Really, the fact that Phoenix can now destroy Mutas is really not a problem in my book, since it's specifically designed to counter them. Now, if we hear that the Phoenix is way too powerful against Corruptors, then I'll be worried... You're a Protoss player aren't you? In SC1, corsairs are regarded as anti-muta and anti-scourge units, but with decent micro the Zerg player can win a battle vs Corsairs. Phoenix vs muta however, is impossible to win for the muta side unless he flanks and has a lot more mutas. Phoenixes are very effective at killing mutas but they also are faster AND have longer range than mutas. This screams OP. Don't you see? This effectively makes mutas completely useless in ZvP | ||

I really doubt this is going to make them very useful against any armored air. | ||

Even if you spread out against corsairs, that only prolonged their eventual death. Same thing here: Even if you split up, it will only prolong their death. However, because Phoenixes don't do splash, you can flank them without sacrificing an entire group of Mutas. On May 07 2010 06:51 Cheezy wrote: You're a Protoss player aren't you?

The patch "enUS\Mods\Core.SC2Mod\enUS.SC2Data\LocalizedData\GameHotkeys.txt" could not be applied. (Invalid source file size: expected 13615, actual 13620.) If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.

Thors unable to be mc'd (til late game and they get the upgrade), overall dps increase in a mixed army of marauders and hellions. Yes, they used to 1 shot hydras, but now if they are missing anymore than 20 hp it is a damage increase. Mech has always been viable in ran mirror.... and now probably moreso as the thor is far more effective vs marauders now (always took 2 shots to kill them, now those 2 shots come faster). Versus toss I'd say mech is less viable. No cannon means immortals will be better vs them. | ||
