It is .. ![[image loading]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/252/unleddf.png/) 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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

There is allot needed to change , and the EMP change wont nearly be enough to give Protosses a fair chance of winning. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
