It's not as if Corruptors won't continue to own them. | ||

i think there's no doubt majority of (higher level) sc2 players would like to see tempest(air thor, just as useless) not introduced along with shredder(anti-micro) and colossus removed. i'm curious of what team browder will do. | ||

One downside is that higher level players have found this frustrating in certain situations, especially when trying to get the jump on zerg opponents, but our general philosophy is that we’re not afraid of making the game more difficult to master at the highest levels. My favorite line in the article. Teehee  | ||

Corruptors counter Colossus and can be morphed into Brood Lords. correction: all zerg ground units suck vs colossi, broodlords come too late, mutas are not strong enough in battle, thus zerg players build corruptors because its the only thing that doesn't get steamrolled by a colossus deathball, do note however, that if you get just 2 corruptors (300 mins/200gas/4supply) per enemy colossus (300mins/200gas/6supply) you will get steamrolled or it will be a close battle depending upon the scale (the more units on both sides the more beneficial for corruptors), thus to be able to fight the colossus (aswell as the mandatory support), the zerg needs to spend roughly equal money on the so-called "counter" than the protoss do on the thing being "countered". this does not fit my definition of a counter. besides, you prove the point by listing all uses for corruptors: being good vs phoenix being decent vs colossus morphing into broodlords and note, the final one is not a boon to the corruptor, its simply: "to be able to get the thing you actually want you need to get a useless pupal-form first, tough luck." and if a unit can only fill 2 niche-roles then its a bad unit or bad design of the raceas a whole, period. in short: corruptors are not a counter to colossus, but its the best zerg got, so they build it, and then everyone starts thinking its the counter just cause zergs use it alot vs colossus. | ||

Suggestion: make mutalisks cost 200/100 instead of 100/100! | ||

- Buff Stalker by making the Stalker's attack to light equal to their current attack vs. armour. That means Stalkers will only have 1 attack stat from now. - Give pheonix a special charge like in the beta where they can deal splash damage. - Give phoenix immunity to Mutas's splash damage. So a smaller phoenix pack can counter a larger muta pack. Regarding the Protoss carrier: - Blizz need to stop the hate and should try going all out to buff the carrier before trying to remove it! I hate how David Kim is saying "oh we could buff it but we don't think it will solve the problem". Well I think that is BS! Why can't they just implement the major buffs for carrier and have it in Public Test Roomto see if the carrier will improve! If not then proceed differently. I really hate how David Kim can be so dismissive of the most obvious suggestions while pretending to care about the community's opinion. - Also, how much influence does Kim has in the game design anyway? I am quite sick and tired of his endless half hearted answers while major balance problem remain - HOTS cannot be relied on to balance everything since HOTS is a different game. Blizzard should stick to their word and keep WOL alive through patches and improvements and allow players the chance to play 2 balance games separately (HOTS and WOL) | ||

As far as pheonix.. Please no splash YUKKY less micro. Like we need less micro. Just make them fire like marines or +1 range and watch the awesome kiting begin. | ||

What bothers me is that during CONSTANT muta-morphing, zergs bank up thousands of minerals which allows them to expand at a sick rate which is very hard to do anything about. Suggestion: make mutalisks cost 200/100 instead of 100/100! That's pretty dumb. One of the more exciting interactions in this game is the muta/ stim marine battles, cat and mouse, why ruin it with a muta nerf for a Protoss weakness. Best way to address a weakness is to address the weakness w/o hurting other matchups let alone unrelated matchups like ZvT. | ||

So then everyone says, bring back the reaver. Except that is still a problem because you can't hold your reavers inside a warpprism, since vikings will just shoot it down with their ridiculous range. Just wish the viking and the collosus never made it into this game, such boring units. | ||
