I could see charged fazing (grats on the name btw) being horribly broken, but uncharged fazing just makes Void Rays a viable early option. This. It working with charged is realllly broken, and less strategic, but the old mechanic was awesome.

Edit: And therefore fazing works when charged now. Seriously Blizzard needs to stop "fixing" stupid crap that doesn't need fixing | ||

Especially considering the dev team said they were going to fix this and then we get to see people abusing it. Please don't make bad assumptions to attack another player. He obviously charged them on the rocks between the bases and kept the charge by attacking his own zealots. And are you really surprised that FOUR fully charged voidrays annihilated only un-upgraded marines that were trapped by forcefields and were attacking the zealots anyway. Use the unit tester to replicate the situation and you'll realise that rays do ridiculous amounts of damage even when attack moved, as they're supposed to. And I like Lz, but even ignoring the first game, he lost the second in an unequivocally fair match, so claiming that this glitch caused him to be eliminated is a gross exaggeration. | ||

Well, it's really good to see blizz is aware of this. I'm really sad if they haven't been able to fix this when retail comes, because losing to this is just beyond ridiculous. I've played 2k games of sc2 and while sometimes stuff feels imbalanced, it's different. This is obvious bug and not just overpowered. | ||

That would be so awesome. Sounds simple enough. A bit offtopic to question but if you had critical mass of VRs that are enough to oneshot every unit opponent has, I believe you could before fight rallypoint them to kill all opposing units. So let's assume he has relatively low hp units like mass marines, I believe in theory you could kill 50 marines in 1sec with like 6 VRs if you just queued targetswitches before battle  No cooldown should be abused easily with any sort of scripts. | ||

I think when the game goes out, and most god protoss players will abuse the VR, and make it so that the terran never can scout wheter the protoss goes starport or gateways, the terran player will have do something like FE + mass marines early game with 2-3 bunkers, and get an early stim + combat shield. But the mass marine strat is very easily scouted, and the terran has a very little timing window before the protoss gets storm which pretty much owns mass marines. Probably the only thing the terran can do then is get some cloaked ghosts and EMP the HT before attacking when its late game, or just transistion into a mech force. | ||

Mauraders have become almost useless in this MU as zealots+VR just owns a 50-50 composition of marine/mauruders. If you do the 1/1/1 build it seems that you dont have enough AA unless you get an initial viking out instead of the typical raven or banshee. And really against good protoss players it should be impossible to tell whether they are going 4gate allin/ 2gate/starport, or 3gate/robo, as they can hide the gates, or they could even start building 2 gates, then cancel them after the terran has scanned them, and bulding a startport immediately after.

I don't think this is that over powered. the only advantage a protoss has is in the early game where he only has to focus on a few voidrays. you can't expect a protoss to be fazing in the middle of a big battle where it's more important to position units and cast spells. voidrays are easily countered by vikings, and hydralisks can deal with voidrays even with fazing cost efficiently at a realistic ratio. protoss is the race with the weakest air units, not that it's pure ground force is much stronger than terran's. Taking out all the micro element in SC2 will make the game easier for the newer players, but too boring at the professional level. | ||

I think i was clicking between the untis too fast...anyways, not as broken as i thought it would be. The targets have to be within a certain arc for it to be effective. If they're both in front of the VR, it will never stop shooting. | ||
