We know how much the carrier means to everyone and think that this is a great opportunity to give the carrier another chance before making a final decision on the unit’s future. it might not be a final decision, so we need to use it in HotS beta and give them reason to keep it!

How do people feel the removal of the warhound will affect the usage of carriers in HOTS (if it has an effect at all)?
|
The Carrier is back. Check the brand new patch !
|
Yippe, the carrier is back.
|
I think that the carrier will be more viable when mixed with the new HOTS units, even if it does still need some tweaking in regards to build time/cost/micro-ability.
Hopefully the new oracle ability will prevent interceptors from getting fungaled.
I'm afraid about mass corruptors still being cost effective vs skytoss though-- with both carriers and tempests being massive they will take bonus dmg (& corruption bonus) but maybe tempests can snipe them down or something.

Mass corruptors should always be effective against skytoss. Corupptors are a sole air to air unit, while skytoss has units that shoot air and ground. The sole purpose air superiority unit has to be better than the catch all unit like the carrier in the head up engagement.

I still think they should give the range upgrade to the carrier. -_-
But it's back. Woot!

is this thread still alive? I think MoW's reputation is pretty much tarnished after this.

I'm not even taking about balance though, just that it's boring as both a player and spectator to see any 1 unit that can be massed reactively that easily takes out a composition that the other player has slowly but steadily accumulated. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that the corruptor is a fairly boring unit either.

Huh?

I have this troll feeling Blizzard is going to remove the carrier again before the beta ends.
|
Well for now the carrier is back in the game!

Remove its current upgrade imo. Carrier needs to work like the carrier in Bw imo

The war isn't over yet.. but while we're ahead, it's time to get more ahead!! Hopefully we'll see more carrier use in the beta so blizzard will finally be convinced about its importance to the protoss arsenal.

Blizz just restored my faith in esports
