Do you see Terran building 15 missile turrets at their mineral line because the Zerg is going Muta? Does Toss build 15 photon cannons when Zerg is going Muta? No, because it is completely ineffective and non-viable. What if I have two bases? Or three? How many spores should I have per base in your opinion? Let's say 5 spore spores per base on two bases: ((75+50) * 5) * 2) = 1250 minerals. Scouting a Stargate that's building Phoenix should force me to spend in excess of 1200 minerals? Is that what you would call a viable counter? Oh, but you wanted to stack Queens as well, let's assume that the bases are connected with creep and we have a total of 5 queens: (150 * 5) = 750 minerals. So we're at 2k minerals just to counter your 4-5 Phoenixes? No, that math isn't all-encompassing, you'd surely have at least 3 Queens even if the P wasn't building air. This doesn't change the fact that Z defending against Phoenixes without FG is an extremely volatile obstacle. I'll repeat myself: Go test it if you're so confident. | ||

Bronzelevel theorycrafting balance talk. ---> Welcome to the Bnet forums .... I dont get it. He says that he's losing to mass phoenix and zealots. I want to see why so I can help him?

Sorry, I didn't know the patch removed hydralisks AND corrupters also. My bad. | ||

When I read it I assumed maybe it meant that attacking units will target harvesters instead of ignoring them unless they attack. Maybe somebody on the test realm could clarify though? | ||

Ye, the same. Although if SCV-A repairs idle SCV-B, SCV-A has a higher priority. | ||

That's sacrified economy for units that can't attack ground units and opportunity cost time in minerals and build time for units that AREN'T gateway units. Does that sound like an OPPORTUNITY???? LOL. you sir, need to play more sc2 and think more strategically of this RTS game. in RTS games it is always about using the minimal army/harassing units to disturb the opponent's economy. | ||

The whole point of making Mutas is to prevent the Protoss from pushing with Collossi since Collossi is very powerful versus Zerg. You don't have to mass only Muta, just make enough to force the Protoss to switch tech and enough to harass and scout with. And why would anybody build mutas vs collossi when corruptors are much better? while phoenix deal extra damage vs muta and cannot be hit due to muta range, but corruptors are heavily armored and can fight vs. phoenix and are better vs collossi? | ||

Yes. And recognising that they have split part of their army to harrass, maybe that's a good time to attack? Greater force usually > weaker force? Thats strategy right? | ||

Ive seen marineking when doing an SCV all in, have the SCVs repair each other. Do they assume a mining worker's priority? If they do, marine all in's just got buffed cus they can tank with the SCVs, then set them to repair and the lings will change target. Then attack with SCVs and run with marines, rinse, repeat. | ||

These protoss buffs seem tailored to mostly only affect high level play. I predict strong protoss players will be able to win tournaments now - while win percentages won't change in the noob leagues. | ||
