Have you ever seen Goody play TvP back when he Meched? He had so much trouble with Carriers he would dot the map with missile turrets in preparation for Carriers or Colossus. | ||

Its just an iconic unit that everyone wants to see come back, more or less because it was pretty cool to see in action and they feel it represents the protoss race well (like battlecruisers for terran, or hydras for zerg). Its true that generally they didn't work (one instance against mech doesn't really cut it), but I think the idea is that people want to find a way to *make* it work. Heart of the swarm beta is probably the best time to test those ideas out. | ||

That's a very easy, yet short-shorted comparison to make when you consider the perspective that you have complete foresight into how those units' buffs resolved. You can't possibly claim to know how the Carrier would turn out, nor is it fair to place the onus upon everyone else you would argue. It's not black and white. Stop trying to make it out to be.

Heart of the swarm beta is probably the best time to test those ideas out. If mech makes a comeback in HotS it'll actually be a mainstay in lategame PvT, and unlike it's Tempest counterpart it can both fight and kick the shit out of vikings. It's the marines that give Carriers problems. PvZ lategame they're extremely viable but the current metagame allows Zerg to ramp to a sick economy, which means they might produce upwards of 20-30 corruptors simultaneously whom then snap the carriers in half. If the Tempest were to replace the Carrier in WoL it would be destroyed two times harder with it's sub-optimal DPS. PvP lategame is evolving and may one day reach a point where Carriers become the apex lategame go-to unit after the Colossus. | ||

Only reason to have tempest is cause blizzard doesn't know how to fix carrier and are trying to give depth to protoss air. This is the answer not the tempest. | ||

Terran had goliaths. It was a battle of positioning and maneuvre who would win. There would also be switch ups in unitcompositions. You could kills the goliaths and overpower the terran. Or you could snipe tanks and roll over the goliaths with a rounds off dragoons. Terran could snipe your observers and swoop in with a suprise wraithswitch. A round of templar could storm the goliaths. Upgraded marines and valkyries were the best interceptorkillers lol. Zerg could counter with scourge if there was not enough corsair cover. Plague, swarm in combo with hydra. Why am I talking about broodwar? I didn't see such interesting dynamics in WoL. The hardcountersystem doesn't leave much room for multiple possible counters that are somewhat interesting. edit awesome video sarcasmmonster. It explains a lot. | ||

Instead of derailing the thread, it would be better to focus our efforts on spreading awareness for this video so that people, namely Blizzard, know exactly what buffs the carrier needs to be completely viable. Reddit, bnet forums, State of the Game - gogogo! Since they made the effort to keep the carrier in HotS, the next logical step is to implement these proposed changes. Blizzard listened to us once; let's make that happen again. CARRIER HWAITING! | ||

They had such a great unit with great micro and great decision making and they just turned it into something far less interesting. This really deserves a thread on its own especially that the carrier is now back in HoTS. | ||
