I actually tried void ray one game last night and I could no longer do this. I was using it against two queens and there seems to be a delay before you can fire again. | ||

The game should be able to stand on the foundation of it's intended design and not these quirky bugs. Yeah, just think about how bad Brood War would have been if you were able to clump Mutalisks together, and harass like that. People keep saying to "wait for the game to develop, and people will start to discover micro tricks and stuff to make the game better! Starcraft took 10 years to develop, after all!" And then when micro tricks are finally discovered in SC2, apparently Blizzard takes them out? Thats just great. | ||

They even patched it in so that fazing works with second stage and third stage charged up voidrays. Pretty much, this means that they like this kinda bug since it actually requires skill and attention to pull off. | ||

Because it wasn't just a "neat little trick" that let you squeeze out a little bit more DPS, it was insanely OP/IMBA/WTF. The trick straight up allows the VR to hard-counter its intended counters. Fact. There is no way Blizzard would ever let something like that stick around. Yes, it took some skill to pull off, but that is absolutely not a good enough excuse when doing it completely breaks the game. Anyone who argues that it wasn't imba really is either just completely biased or doesn't know what they are talking about. Period. It is not even comparable to muta-stacking in terms of overall affect on gameplay. So please stop whining that it should be left in because you are nostalgic over BW. | ||

I'm mostly convinced at this point that even emergent properties of the game are considered "outside, third party" factors and can't be allowed. I really didn't see any fazing play used to a significant effect in phase 2. I'm wondering why people still scream IMBA at the top of their lungs about it though. | ||

Even if it was imbalanced, is there any good reason to completely remove it and dumb the game down, rather than embrace and balance it? | ||

yes really...the reason for this is the fact that its amazingly hard to pull off in fact its actually easier for the defender! (easier for T/P than Z..but Z can just get another 2 queens out quick to hold off til hydras and theyre good) | ||
