This isn't really something that can be negligently discarded. One BL can basically shut down an entire expansion as other races rely a lot on static defense later on in the game (for their 4th and even 3rd).

Even if it dies eventually to an air unit, it would still be a decent trade.

Doesn't a Broodlord out range all static defense anyway? So the defense can only hit the broodlings, which are not the problem here. They are out of range even if they could see it.

I guess I fail to see how this is significant, surely the other player would have some kind of air unit or observer by the 17-20 minute range it takes to get Broodlords out.

Carriers are the stronger unit in all situations apart from this highly circumstantial situation. It is your opinion that this should be patched, it is my opinion that this is fine and does not need patching.

Really? Carriers are better than brood lords?

Really?

They're faster, more HP, more DPS, can attack ground and air, similar cost (50 minerals more for carrier), longer range after interceptors are released out. Carriers are pretty damn good!

Its just no one uses carriers. Not to mention obviously Carriers > BLs because BLs can't hit carriers. lawl.

I don't want to get into a "which is better debate". But one of the hugest advantages of the broodlord is that the broodlings pin down the army that the Brood Lords are attacking. Kinda like built-in forcefields, pretty sweet Shit can just run underneath carriers.

Issue has already been addressed in 1.4 patch notes quite some time ago.

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1213111662

Fixed an issue where Broodlords on the high ground would not be revealed when attacking enemy units on the low ground.

Not really some time ago. It's in italics so it's new.
