This is kinda ridiculous. Ultras are the only melee range splash right? I guess I can see how they made this error. | ||

As previously pointed out if Blizzard deems the PF overpowered they will nerf it. They could reduce the damage it deals and/or nerf/remove the AoE. They could also chose to cap the number of scvs that could repair a target. There are a lot of options available to them. What they WON'T do is make another unit even more ridiculous and claim to have fixed the problem. | ||

Without it terran would have to use valuable supply for bunkers and tanks to defend expansions until they could send an army to reinforce. Except marauders can walk through spines and cannons and PF's can kill entire armies with only repair. Good example. | ||

Archon AoE is a fixed radius, and any units in the short "beam" also take damage. This has been tested and proved. The ONLY unit who has a dynamic AoE radius is the ultra and that's the root of this problem. Are you just making stuff up at this point? | ||

1. Blizzard decided not to test the new Ultralisk attack against repaired Planetary Fortresses even once. 2. Blizzard decided to test it, but right after they tested it and saw what happened, Will Smith broke into the room through the wall dressed up like his character from Men In Black, and while everyone at Blizzard was awestruck saying, "Wow, it's Will Smith!" he put on his sunglasses and wiped their memories and told them that the change worked as intended because MiB was a documentary and Will Smith wants to buff Zerg. | ||

I'm pretty sure it's all Will Smith's fault. | ||

 I like the bug, but I'm sure even when it's patched up ultra's won't be "zomg nerfed to shit wtfbbq." Welcome change in the meantime to make up for all of the reaper harass and 5 rax rauder builds  On September 23 2010 02:54 Nakas wrote: It may look a bit funny, but balance-wise this is a step in the right direction. Give it time and I'm sure players will learn to adjust to avoid the splash. + Show Spoiler + lol I see what you did there | ||

Had perfectly spread units then he would send an ultra to hit a thor. and my rauders who are definately out of the normal ultra splash dmg range were getting hit. He saying that you could've tested the same scenario before the patch and the result would've been the same, which is exactly the case. The only thing new is that they use the splash attack against buildings, while they didn't before the patch. | ||

But back on topic, a hot fix is prolly coming soon. Blizz said that the AoE vs building is meant for the smaller buildings, meaning that this is really a bug (however awesome). Personally, I kinda want the old ram animation, cuz they made it anyways, but with AoE. Is it so hard to add a damage radius? It's funny how by working on a small balance problem leads to something huge :o This is now Imbalisk. The guy talking about Archon splash radii may be saying that the splash zone is never at the center of the target unit, which is sorta true saying that its splash depends on unit size, but not exactly a problem. | ||

Feel bad for anyone in a tourney that has to go against a zerg opponent that gets any ultras out. | ||
