This seems to be like a good change. It provides yet another solution to infestor brood in ZvT. Now terran has ghosts which can emp/snipe every infestor, and they also have ravens which will kill every infestor if zerg clumps to fungal vikings (adding another micro element).

as far as infestors go if you research NP you would have to be pretty dumb/somehow miraculously be researching infestor upgrades but not have as many infestors as they have ravens to not mind control a 6 range unit from 9 range. just sayin. if i have the opportunity to counter someone massing ravens i would actually go infestors and SM/turret their army while keeping them there with fungal growth. i figured it out when there was a TvX mass raven build going around. my timings on it aren't the cleanest but full raven upgrades take about as long to build as fielding carriers

They need to make seeker missle a viable option vs mass muta, otherwise it has no place outside TvT really.

Increase range, and increase speed again.

The missile itself still sucks though. Spider mine, it ain't. It will collectively do less damage than a fungal, or a storm. Way too much effort to get something that will probably kill 2 infestors in a hit if lucky. The splash sucks.

Nice thread, though I don't think we need like a thread for every balance change, the way you wrote it up was defo worth reading.

This WILL no doubt have huge effects on some of the supreme late game TvT plays with mass air which has been more commonly used lately. Though I think the BFH nerf might actually change the air play too, considering it's generally easier to transition into air from mech than from bio.

This is all in theory though, who the hell knows ^^

Also- I can already see it. I try to go seeker an infestor, it neurals my raven and throws the missle at the army thats right under it. game over

Pimpest play material right there.


Speaking of pimpest plays, I saw Destiny neural two HTs about a week ago or so. He then proceeded to drop a storm on top of some fungaled units, then feedback about 4 other full energy HTs in the area. His opponent just typed in chat "0_0". I about peed my pants myself.

I've got three words for you.

Too much energy.

Let me counter that with two words:


Two Ravens.

That would require 225 energy...
A raven has 200.
Yes, you'd obviously require a second Raven to cover the first.


And then it becomes a 400 gas investment not including research, etc.

As long as the actual missile costs 125 energy, it will remain worthless.

Since it is very easy to avoid, its rare that HSM is even as effective as a storm/fungal/EMP, which all cost 75 energy.

I just thought about Ravens for a second in TvT and if TvT goes back to Marine/Tank and Mech will be scaled back i doubt we'll even see it in TvT all that much. The Raven dies way too fast to Marines.

Yeah that is one of the biggest limitations I've experienced using the seeker missile. Often your target is not at the front-line of the battle.

Make more than 1 raven?

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


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)

forgot storm and i think hydra


Hydras are stopped, but they burn pdd energy really fast.

lol the people saying getting multiple ravens have yet to play terran and don't realize how much of a burden it is to get a raven.

I kind of agree that the energy cost is a little high. If it were reduced to 100, a full energy raven can pop two into a raging battle, which could actually be quite effective.

Wow, that is pretty sick. This spell went from a positional spell that forces enemies to runaway to a spell that actually deals damage.
Pretty significant, can't wait to see late game terran the coolest of the three.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

Wait, so a single Raven needs to be maxed on energy in order to survive shooting an HSM? That's ridiculous. Just make it 7 range.

If it had 9 range yeah sure, why not.
I used SM in 2 of my ~400 terran games.
1) Suicided 2 ravens to get rid of 10 mutas.
2) Bombed a terran that was going heavy marauder.

125 energy and probably losing the raven for 100 damage that is not guaranteed? No thank you, let me spend 100/200 + upgrades on something useful.

Not buying it, Terran has plenty of mineral heavy units of all types that can survive and even thrive until late game.

PDD is 100 energy, there's no way for a raven to cast both.
