It's well known that All air units had moving attack type micro in BW. In SC2 only phoenix and void ray can do it. You're telling SC2 way is more obvious and intuitive? Sure. | ||

Alternatingly moving and a-moving in front of and behind your units at least required some skill and especially a good sense of timing for some units. Muta micro even was one of the hardest things to be good at in BW. Doing nothing but right clicking is slightly easier, I dare to say. | ||

As for Pheonixes having this, I think it's a good idea because Protoss simply had no air to air answer against the mutalisk (I'm a zerg player). Yes the micro is simple, but what micro in SC2 isn't simple? Terran was given Thor splash to deal with Mutas so I'm glad Protoss has the Pheonix to deal with mutas. | ||

They cost the same, Protoss needs a specific tech building to get it, they come out slowly, and do not harrass workers or influence a big fight the way mutas can. Pheonix have the gravity ray. Although I have not had my hands on the controls of SC2 even once, it seems obvious that disabling a ground unit and allowing your other Pheonix to pound on it is a pretty big deal. (And does allow you to kill workers, though perhaps not as nimbly.) | ||

It is not a bug, however I wouldn't be surprised if the next patch notes would remove it, claiming that a bug allowing phonixes to shoot while moving was fixed. | ||

The SC2 method makes sense. It is made obvious that the unit can do this, which units can do it is well known, and how to do it is also equally obvious. That you don't have to press 4 buttons to do it is pretty much like having MBS and rally mining. SC2 is more effective at having the user control the game than SC1 is. And it requires no timing, no practice and no skill to be good at.. It's not all about requiring more APM, it's also about being able to multitask while performing that micro. Bad player in SC1 would get raped by 2 lings which got into their base while they were busy muta microing effectivelly.Bad player would not be able to properly macro while muta microing effectivelly. Making it require 1 click instead of 4 clicks means that attention required to properly micro a unit is THAT much smaller making the game easier. | ||

I also made some queens to try to fend it off but he just flew by sniping down OL's barely taking many hits since he didn't have to stay still to attack. Mutas also will be completely screwed. | ||

He goes 2 gate and gets some zealots so I can't rush then he just masses phoenix and runs around sniping all my overlords/drones causing me to make spores and try to tech to hyrdas. I initially got roaches because I seen all the zealots. Losing all the overlords and making the spores set me back so bad that eventually he just walks in with a huge ground army. I guess the only way to play ZvP from now on is to rush spore colonies and hydras completely disregarding roaches and hoping your lings hold him off if he attacks before your hydras are up. I also made some queens to try to fend it off but he just flew by sniping down OL's barely taking many hits since he didn't have to stay still to attack. Mutas also will be completely screwed. Wow, one game and you now know exactly how every ZvP evar is going to shape up? Impressive. | ||
