Something is missing in this patch , wich should have been added in previous patches already.

It is ..
[image loading]

Basicly this important upgrade for the Voidray got removed while the Void Ray had very different damage and charge multiplicators , aswell as added to that the spore crawler root time , the fact that they didnt built infestors against mass voids and generaly bad engagements etc it was consindered overpowered for the Void Ray .

However nowdays is the Void Ray extremly useless and i´d like my loved upgrade back.


ps : no argueing about bringing Amulet back it was straight up overpowered.



I think it was good they removed it. It wasn't for people in the higher echelons, but the lower tier players who just built mass void ray...there was like nothing you could do against it back then. No Micro in the world could save the Zerg....It was straight up OP

Sorry, "OP against bad players" is not a very good argument. The ability of the Nexus to constantly produce Probes and the ability of Warp Gates to constantly produce units is OP against bad players. There's no sense to balancing the game around the abilities of anyone but the highest level of players; the matchmaking system will adjust ranks for the rest of us until we have our 50% chance to win.

Doesn't hurt that zergs have figured out since then that infestors are kinda good.

Sorry, but who cares about bronze league players that can't deal w/ mass void rays? 90% of the SC2 community below diamond cannot stop a properly executed 6 pool or cannon rush; should blizzard require a cybercore for cannons?

Speed upgraded void rays were awesome mainly because it made them somewhat viable as a late game harassment option that could leave the ball of death and pick at workers before running away from pretty much any enemy air unit except for the mutalisk.

The toss race could use any help of harassment they can get, I welcome it back.

Back then there were also those crazy maps all of which I've forgotten the names of,where the distance by air was something like half the rush distance by ground, and there were a million destructible rocks everywhere.

do you know that this upgrade required 150 / 150 and a Fleet Bacon to produce it from ? do you know that Terrans played extremly back then ?

this is first time im reading that nosense , back then the balance patches were made diffferent and had in mind the 2v2 aspect however now slowely with the patches it seems it is aimed for high level play aswell aimed for 1v1.
There is allot needed to change , and the EMP change wont nearly be enough to give Protosses a fair chance of winning.
There are to many targets , and i smile everytime they try to defend and thinking they are smart.

I do remember seeing a VR build by Mana (i think?) vs. Morrow back when the speed upgrade was in the game, and he just kept the void count up the entire game because once he got the speed upgrade he could zip all over the place to kill workers, etc.

But it definitely did not get researched at the standard all in timing of around 6 minutes...

Sounds like a mutalisk, what's the problem?

There was a point during the game where zergs couldnt handle the normal stargate openings from protoss which is pretty easy to hold or when they were going roach hydra in alot of games and 1a into a protoss deathball. I just think blizzard removed it to fast instead of letting it play out

No that is why they nerfed the VoidRay charged damage.

The speed I think was because of Zerg players. I do think it could come back. Zerg have learned to use infestors

It was because of 2v2, actually.

That's what they said, anyway.

Yeah tbh void ray speed removal was a very weird decision. I understood nerfing the void ray damage because of the void+gate pre-charge push that raped terrans and even zerg sometimes. But REMOVING an end-game upgrade that takes an extra building to make? It never made sense to me.

If you think about how awful void rays are right now (they are never made late-game except to counter broodlords by surprise) it might be a pretty balanced upgrade IMO. You might be able to see pros spread their voids outside of fungal, etc.

I really think these are good changes. If anything it will allow Protoss to do effective Fast 1 1 timing pushes that won't get shut down by 3 emps
If it's in the game, it's in the game.

nobody played voidray speed upgrade when it got removed, funny how people argue it was op when no one was using it, imho voidrays are one of the useless unit in the game. it design just doesn't make sense

it no coincidence that the standard response to stargate play of protoss is for zerg to build just mass drones, because there is only a very limited potential of damage beeing dealt if you get like 3 queens early on and good creep spread.

yeah, voidrays really should get a buff. uncharged theyre horrible and take forever to get to lvl3 charge. I also noticed they START with 0 armor. WTF?? (same with phoenix) And air armor ups cost 150/150 instead of 100/100 for some reason :/ I don't understand. at all.
