They have more range and can shoot / move at the same time.

If they are controlled well, they are extremely cost effective vs. mass muta.

Because cost for cost if you have your phoenix spread out enough that you don't get glaive worms bouncing between all your units, phoenix rip mutalisks apart.

the problem with that is.. once u done, you end up with dozens of phoenix who are useless against a tech switch from zerg, so they are not viable in large numbers and that's why they are never gonna be the counter to mass mass mutas, cause no toss would go mass phoenix to counter it.

in a real game, it's not time-effective to micro phoenixes in that way against mass mutas. it only works for small numbers and when nothing else is going on

Give me a game where that has happened. You would need a bot to 'rip' through mutas with pheonixes

I think because it does in small numbers. Phoenix absolutely destroys mutas in small numbers. Once the mutas hit a critical mass , it doesnt though. I don't think a lot of people argues that phoenixes loses to mass mutas.


Did you see the chat blow up with angry caplock "HELLO PHOENIX" when they said toss doesn't have a good AA.

I agree with you no top level people say that. But the people i talk to and play with (non pros) say that me when I QQ about the mass muta that kill me.

Not normally one to complain about the number of protoss on SotG, but when it comes to a protoss being objective about a unit as conceptually powerful as the replicator, it's hard not to shake your head a bit.


Obviously you don't play Protoss nor care about Protoss if you can't see what is wrong with the Replifail


Let everyone on this forum clap for your reading comprehension and critical thinking, you fucking idiot. The entire point of my post was that the replicator is a flawed unit. You just dissed me while AGREEING with my position. Yay for you.

As a terran player, I certainly find the carrier much more interesting than the tempest. Buff the carrier instead of replacing it. Try changing the phoenix a little?

You can only make one of the Thor units in HOTS.

So I heard shredders do 20 DPS/second.

That is a measure of acceleration.

Build them early and they one shot everything later in the game

I'm not saying that the Shredder doesn't look too powerful in the current alpha stages, but it only has a 6 second time.

So it would be very difficult to prevent ling runbys unless timed very well.
