Consider that Phoenixes have a much faster movement speed, and only 1 more range. Then, show me a video of you perfectly microing Phoenixes to not get hit.

It's more difficult than you think ^_^

I know, I'm just fortifying it to make sure we don't lose you :D And plus, I sort of actually want to see the video XD

man i wish this was how blizzard patched phoenixs to be instead of how they are now. they basically micro themselves now

suddenly they're not nearly my favorite unit any more.

Tank micro is awesoooooome.

Hellion micro seems way too powerful for it's ease of execution.

eh it only works against what, zerglings and zealots? and it'll take forever to kill zealots with hellions so basically zerglings... marines & hydras you're going to get shot as you retreat so...

Mutalisks would be imbalanced if they stacked because there is no limit on how many units you can have in 1 control group.

Actually there is a limit. It's 255 units to a hotkey, but the only way that would ever happen is if you mass lings. So..

my god, props and /salute to you because you are amazing

/sign this and hope blizzard puts these changes in the game asap (at least for ground units if they won't do it for air units due to stacking issues)

edit: I just had to emphasize how badly I want those changes to be put into the game for ground units. Dear God blizzard if you do this I will worship you.

I'm actually extremely optimistic about SC2 now and hopefully blizzard realizes how much better they could make the game - people with connections let blizzard know how important this is because I am almost certain that they DON'T have a CLUE.

they aren't omni-potent game creators, we need to give them this feedback to help them make the perfect game

wow the game would be soooo much more fun if units worked like this. The tank is great. The hellion may be a little OP, maybe he should have to stop very briefly.

I'm worried though - does anyone think blizz wouldn't implement this because it would really show the disadvantages of not having LAN latency games?

Here is to hoping that the game gets this kind of micro added. Come on blizzard, this is what the game needs! This kind of micro is not only good for esports/skill ceiling, but it is a lot of fun!

I don't understand why they just can't code in a limit on how many air units you can select in 1 group. Seems like a better idea than just saying "nah" to a very crucial concept to game play.

In terms of balance does anyone think that viking micro would solve the problem of broodlords and mass void rays?

You now don't have to mass vikings/marines in order to beat void rays, you can beat like 20 of them with just 3 if you focus all your attention on it, so you can quickly bring them out and if you work really hard at it your still in the game, instead of just instant GG.

Also because of the vikings range, mutas/hydras/corruptors will have to work a lot harder in order to defend broodlords.

Not saying blizzard should implement it, but more just out of curiousity.

I made a post on the Battle Net Beta suggestion forums, because this is honestly amazing OP. Well done. I made sure not to take the credit, and made sure to say it wasn't m who made this.

http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=24702406880&postId=246999554143&sid=5000#0

Lets try to get some attention from blizzard everyone, and post in support of it!
