Their micro would dominate everyone! Don't be so quick to state imbalance. Even muta stacking was balanced eventually. There's plenty of ways to balance without taking out something so interesting from the game. The easiest way would be to leave it to the mapmakers to make maps that will balance it. As previously stated, we should aim for lots of imbalance that eventually equalize each other instead of everything being balanced and game being boring. If I were at blizzard I would see all these bugs and exploits and keep them in the game since they are very interesting and require lots of micro. | ||

Except you not only have to do the targeted clicking, you have to retreat them back and forth, and you are capped at 11 mutas. Stimmed marines with medics will melt the mutas. The Void Rays you have no cap, you don't have to worry about moving them, just queue the attack from one to another. Focus fire isn't some incredible micro trick man. | ||

Alternatively, if you have alot of stimmed marines make sure to run them away from the voidrays so theres no chance to que up, then run in, snipe a voidray and run away | ||

I believe they're talking about broodwar, where you would group your 11 mutalisk with an overlord/burrowed zergling/larva. What happens is that as long as you keep moving around, your mutas will stack. It makes it harder for your opponent to target and kill your mutas. | ||

Although it was harder, it was also a lot stronger of a benefit to micro than these void ray tricks are and it ended up working out very well. | ||

i don't see how it'd be "stronger" per se. less vulnerable mayhap. but certainly not increasing dps by a factor of >3 | ||

Furthermore, splitting your forces splits your damage output as well, whereas the void rays are going to stay grouped together. With the Fleet Beacon upgrade those suckers are fast too. | ||

btw, this reminds me of the old reaver dropship trick. basically if you drop a reaver, it will fire instantly. so the trick is to pick up and drop in quick succession. this way you can fire all 5 or 10 scarabs within 1 or 2 seconds. blizz eventually patched that though >.< | ||

Also, the only way it works as described in the OP is if you have the number of VR's needed to one shot a unit. So, going against marines, you need 9 unupgraded VR's. Against Stalkers, you need 32. If you are only 1 short, it drastically changes the amount of damage that they deal and how quickly as they now have to wait for their attack period before the next shot (unless you right click spam on different units). | ||
