They are 1.5x as expensive, and cannot beat Vikings in large, equal numbers w/o either Corruption or Fungal, which requires additional APM (a scarce asset in a late-game engagement) Wrong. Corruptors > Vikings | ||

Protoss haven't been nerfed since the WG change. I really don't understand where this justification comes from. | ||

You know Corruptors are 150/100 minerals/gas right? They are no where near as good as vikings it is only with fungal mixed in that they can fight them. | ||

Also a better idea than what Blizzard is proposing. Honestly, the +25 damage to Psionic is meaningless. I know it's meant to be like a compensation in the way that Siege Tank damage works vs armored but there honestly are so few situations where Sniping something Psionic is better than simply EMPing it that the +damage to psionic is just pointless. | ||

I like the dynamic of gold bases when they are placed in vulnerable positions and when a player invests in taking one it changes up the pace of the game. Snipe change is pretty massive but I just want to see more Ultra/Broodlord tech switches and I want the Terran to actually change up their composition in response. As a primarily Zerg fan even I started to bang my head on my keyboard every time a PvZ turned into a muta base race and I just want it out of the game as quick as possible The problem with wanting terrans (and protoss as well) to completely change their unit compositions when a zerg does it is a bit silly when its a known fact that zerg can switch between techs so much easier than the other races. Thats like me as terran saying "I want to have the ability to keep a zerg on equal bases" because I somehow consider that to be a more balanced game and simply choose to ignore the racial benefit I get from mules. Luckily for protoss blink stalkers are pretty effective at countering both ultralisks and BLs, and they can use chrono or warp-ins to quickly get out any counter units they need. Terran however is now stuck with the marine as their best option for a unit that can counter both lategame units, and while we all know marines are really good they are also very vulnerable to many things a lategame zerg can throw at you. I do think that ghosts alone countering all T3 is a bit much, but turning them useless against anything but casters leaves the terrans with very little options. There should be a more reasonable middle ground solution to be found here. | ||

hehe both are right. upgrades play a huge role which unit is stronger. But the viking is stronger if it has a good position, while the corrupters a click i stronger. So at the end both units deliver great battles against each other x3. | ||

No competent zerg is going to mass corruptors just to counter vikings, corruptors still beat vikings but mutas are more effective. They make corruptors, morph some to broods, have infestors and spam fungal, corruption. in that case fungal along with corruptor support own vikings, hard. | ||

I really like that they're bringing back APM, I just wish they would turn minutes back into real minutes. | ||

Care to back that up at all? Don't worry, I'll back up my statements with fact so that you don't have to  Each viking does 20 damage per hit, while each corruptor does 14 damage per hit. This means that you need around 1.12 vikings for each corruptors. Considering that vikings cost 150/75 to the corruptor's 150/100, and that build times are around the same as long as you have two reactored starports, that sounds pretty much in favor of the viking there.. | ||
