Massive units are not affected by concussive shells. If you think they are, you are wrong. It's SPORE crawlers that are being changed, not SPINE. Please read carefully. | ||

edit: yes, of course, now you can feedback thors. i didn't realize that it used to be like this. i remember reading a dustin browder interview (sorry no link) where he said he wants to increase the number of tactical decisions a player has to make. i think this change does that. now a pvt player has to choose whether to storm bio or feedback thor/medivac. only time will tell if this increases balance and makes games more exciting. | ||

Really i can see were Thors were really strong in TvP, but really Blizz needs to do something with XvP because its literally-> X makes Tanker unit with Air to Air(Marauder/Viking, Roach/Corrupter) vs Toss who makes Collosi Blink Stalker | ||

ZvZ is the worst MU in the game right now, its disgusting how games can end instantly based on 1 ability. | ||

Quoting this for people that think having a viable counter to thors(that cost 750 gas to tech to and are fragile as hell) means bio is the only option. | ||

If there were enough marines supporting, voids were terribly inefficient as well. Colossus with stalkers and chargelots could effectively kill any ground army we had.

Strike cannon kills the colossi almost instantly, stimmed marines eat stalkers, and blue flame hellions kill zealots before they can do much of any damage. | ||

Except that colossus have way bigger range than strike cannon? And marines+hellions die to colossus before they can touch the stalkers... | ||
