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. | ||

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. >_> | ||

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) | ||

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. | ||
