But blizz intention seems clear with these changes - if the ability is good and ppl is surely gonna use them, make them research them (why is that I can't figure out. I'd like to see roachs naturaly move burrowed). Make terran's t3 more easy to get, like cheaper BCs and ravens skills (not sure if the BC buff is gonna make any difference) and they're trying to bring ultras back. I just hope they don't nerf too much the broodlord in order to make the ultra usefull over it.
Actually the more I think about it the more having the Thor 250MM cannon as an upgrade makes sense. Pre-patch in TvZ if a Terran went heavy Thors to counter heavy Hydras, the Zerg could NP only half of the Thors and immediately 250 MM cannon down the other Thors, effectively having the bulk of T's army disappear 6 seconds. With this change a T can use Thors to counter Hydras without having to be nearly as worried about getting on NPed and having the NP one 250MM another Thor, tank etc. to oblivion.

Has anyone tried hellions yet. Now that you have to move up to your enemies to get splash, micro should matter more.
|
With all these splash damage changes, has anyone checked to see if the Plantary Fortress damage has been fixed yet or if it still does 150% damage in splash?

SQUISHTRALISKS! Why not? They say exploding AOE centered on them isn't going to hit any other units nearby, so sounds like a good unit to put up front while you batter it down. Except you're going to have to fight the terran army first and then kill it while it gets repaired. Every suggestion so far has been a tier 3 one. Pretty much sounds like if you miss a small timing window to take it out before it's done upgrading you're screwed in destroying that expo. Banelings, Baneling Drop, Burrowed Roaches (easier to get optimal amount of Roaches in range), Mutas... It's not like Toss has it much easier >.> Zealots are slow until Charge, Stalkers are pretty good, Sentries are lol, High Templar suck, Dark Templar tech is too costly, Immortals are great, but expensive, Colossi is lol vs buildings... Really, the Immortal is the only thing that Toss has above Zerg against PFs, and even then, Banelings are much cheaper and more powerful >.> I dunno...Two commonly used toss units counter it easily. Colossus with range upgrade and voidrays.
Well, you said the problem was having to beat the Terran's army to have the time to get rid of it. How is that different to Protoss? Its not like sending Void Rays or Collossi out alone isn't suicide if there's Vikings around or anything.
|
anyone know if they fixed the replay bug ??????
|
Well I guess it was only time until the protoss designed a full speed hovercraft that is really a spacecraft. It makes as much sense as my sentence above YEAH. FYI viking>phoenix.

hahahahaha I'm totally making pheonixes every time (against Zerg).

It was fixed in the previous patch already.

They don't deal splash damage on units you or your allies own.

FINALLY:
Phoenix -Can now attack while moving.
EDIT: Ok I watched the video clip of the new phoenix attack...I'm not sure how I feel about the new mechanic having the phoenixs turn around and shoot backwards while still moving forwards. Graphically it looks fine but how it will play out is the real question...

But why just the phoenix? Come on blizz we want more units that can move and attack. Srsly, just give it to viking/corruptor too. :[ Good patch though.
