Np, shoot 7-8 seeker missile and BAM they cant dodge them at all, so they all die. You can also harass lightly defended expands with mass turrets, and they stay up forever and cost no money, in late game if you can trade energy for money its very good. Only thing you need to watch out is to not get chain fungaled on your clump of ravens, wich few emps can take care of. Seriously, a good amount of ravens will completly shut down broodlords attacks, he may be able to turtle with his broods, but he wont be able to be too aggressive or he will lose them. Mix those ravens with some nuke harass/pushing, emps, and good turtling, and late game terran is still strong as hell vs zerg. I even think that in the next year we will see a raven nerf at some point, once ppl figure out how to use them, similar to the infestors. basically. they die easy. they're slow. they're squishy. and realistically anything you use a raven for probably is going to involve sacrificing the raven for, or at least an acceptance that the raven very well might die (or probably will). Seeker missile? probably going to cost you your raven. PDD, MIGHT cost you your raven. Turret? Might or WILL cost you your raven depending on what you're doing with it. they buffed the speed on seeker missile, and that's awesome...but having an awesome ability on a unit no one wants to use because it's dies to literally anything that can shoot up if your opponent isn't asleep at their keyboard, doesn't change that no one wants to use it. glass cannons just aren't fun, especially when that cannon cannot move to save it's life, and costs you a lot of fucking gas. | ||

I imagined that and almost fell of my chair laughing :D I think that a tank, marine, medivac, raven combo would work wonders in tvz late game though, as long as you cut down on medivac/tank numbers. Since you can get ridicoulous numbers of marines. Viable uses could be to split your ravens up to harras with maybe 2-3 and a drop while keeping the main force ready for mass HSM. I think you would just have to accept the fact that ravens are disposable, but the potential damage they can do, would make them and effective trading tool for brood lords in my opinion. | ||

He's extremely intelligent and makes his points very clearly. Please bring him back often. and hilarious to top it off. i loved the deadpan delivery of the "no i just went back in time so ill second it" line. but seriously, one of the best SotGs. I love tyler, i love artosis, i love day9, but this was some awesome chemistry. tyler can be a little too chill, artosis a little too serious, and day9 trying a little too hard. and not to forget the fact that every race was actually represented by people who add to the conversation well. great show despite how scrappy it was thrown together. | ||
