I've got three words for you.

Too much energy.


Make more than 1 raven?

5 ravens with PDD can survive ANYTHING long enough for marines to come save them


There r bunch of thing that PDD does save against, hydras for example
So.. this Earth, nice planet you might say- WRONG!!

That would require 225 energy...
A raven has 200.


Build more than one raven? One lays down PDD as the other one comes in for the seeker missle.


All this for 1 seeker missile?

seriously? do you even know how seeker missile works?
It's 100 damage in 0.6 raidus, 50 damage in 1.2 radius and 25 damage in 2 radius.
200-400 for ravens + 150-150 for hsm upgrade just to throw that stupid missile which can be avoided?

HSM isn't strong enough to be used with 1 raven let alone 2. When have you seen HSM winning some game? cmon people, we can talk about game and balance but think about things before you write something.

And it's not that no one has tried using HSM in these last year and a half. They were used ALOT in beta before range nerf 9->6 and splash damage change.

TvZ infestor repellant? u wanna spend 125 energy to kill off a single infestor? really not viable, maybe at lower levels where they have them all clumped up but its to easy to spread.

i think TvZ we could just use them as a means to control the zerg army/location. and maybe aim for large groups of banelings/muta

+1 I still dont think it will ever get used. Blizz should try replacing with some other such as irridiate.

The Raven is clearly a support unit - every spell in its arsenal is best used for support as you engage in a bigger battle, for zoning as both armies jostle for the best possible position to engage.

Think of it as a defensive nuke -> it's forcing army movement, allowing you to get into a better position yourself + distracting your opponent and putting an additional burden of micro and attention on him.

If getting a H-S missile off is all you're trying to do while your army waits around doing nothing - yeah, the effort and expense will probably not be worth it.


edit: it's obviously still very situational and won't make the Raven the new core unit of the Terran army, if that's what you guys were expecting. >_>

I think it will be used, I used it in masters league to great effect before they made PDD not stop broodlord attack and ravens become less effective vs zerg, but now they might come back again

I don't know that this is the buff it needs. You can still do so much more with reactored starports than with tech labs. Terran does get a gas glut later on in the game that they aren't really dealing with right now. This is Blizzards answer to that gas surplus in late late game but it's still not clear if it will be enough to be used.
I wonder where all those socks go...

It's a nice start to making the Raven a more viable unit to use in game but it's still not enough. The biggest problem I have with using Ravens is their short sighted range. Casting an ability will risk getting the Raven killed, or severely injured at the very least if it is focused fired. The risk lies in how much you lose if you get the Raven sniped after a one time use.

PDD doesnt not stop Marine, Void ray, Sentry, infested marine and ghost attacks.

Oh Feedback, Emp, Fungal and NP rape a range 6 ranven too.

thats a hell of alot of things that can kill them under cover of PDD.
(Pro tip Sentry can 1 shot the PDD itself so all other range will work too)

I still feel that the seeker missile is such a gimmick, and unless you've got a ton of gas it's just not worth it. Theorycrafting is good and all, but in reality actually spending so much gas on a raven + upgrade and then having to control it, it's just not worth it.

Late game TvT it can be good, but at any other point in the game it's just too much of a risk compared to reward.
If wishes were horses we'd be eating steak right now.
