Now though instead of sniping the broodlords and auto winning you just switch target to the infestors guarding them and SNIPE THE INFESTOR. Now the broodlords have no protection and one viking can beat 50 broodlords (just might take a while) Seriously anyone qqing about this change is just upset that they can't mass one unit to win. Oh no. Scanning is so hard. | ||

Low range in the first meaning, means that a lot of ravens die in the encounter. | ||

vikings attempting to kill upgraded broodlords with queens healing them... not gonna happen i'm afraid. snipe was silly before, but it was necessary because zerg has braindead spammy lategame units that completely obliterate you unless you have a hard counter. i can't wait to see what happens though. two possibilities: 1) terran is now just as awful in lategame TvZ as they are in TvP... therefore blizzard can do something to address both problems 2) terran players figure out a new way to play that is more effective than braindead ghost spam | ||

No more timing attacks or uses for things like marines, or general smaller units. Really sad to see the unit beaten down every patch to the point where it fills such a niche role while constantly shifting the meta-game through "fixes" rather than just letting it play out. it's better than having it be a swiss army knife mega unit. i like the change. it makes the unit what it was intended to be. | ||

Can't wait O_O I do however feel that 30 (+20 psionic) would be a bit better though... | ||

Whuch korean Terrans do you see integrating Ravens? I watch like.... all the Korean games available publicly and have never seen this kind of play outside of humiliation tactics. | ||

That is singularly the most retarded statement EVER. Snipe is still as it was against infestors.

EDIT: I agree with the the person below me. Shakuras Plateau is the only map where a Terran can actually get away with massing ghosts because of how easy it is to split the map. | ||

In late game Shakuras Plateau, you're either going to see 3 Ghosts for EMP on Infestors, or 20 Ghosts to crush Broodlord / Ultralisk armies. It's rarely in between. While I think Ghosts are a little too good at countering late game Zerg, I don't think Zergs were trying all the options yet to punish Terrans that play for this late game style. Ghosts are still slow and vulnerable. What this change does is eliminate the 20+ Ghost-using-Snipe option. In my eyes, you shouldn't see more than 5 Ghosts on the field in TvZ now for key EMPs and nukes. Their Snipe damage is simply too low now. Maybe that's what Blizzard wanted, but I think there is a better medium where massing Ghosts for Snipe is still viable and good, but not as good. Maybe 25 + 25 psionic is that point? I don't think so, but we'll see. You know what's the problem here ? Shakuras fucking plateau. Not snipe. Mass ghost games are shakuras plateau games like 9 times to 10. | ||

On smaller maps, you can almost over prepare with vikings + ghost cause you're not as concerned about ultralisks with smaller chokes. They def need to look back into HSM and make more adjustments. The range makes them feel like scourge...sacrificial kamikaze's. | ||

The pheonix range upgrade seems sort of irrelevent to me considering that it would require a fleet beacon and considering that it seems like top protoss' have gotten really good at PvZ lately according to what everyone is saying. I do not like the snipe change purely because ghost was needed to make the tech switches less brutal. I could potentially see a ultra to broodlord or broodlord to ultra techswitch (which takes far less time for zerg to mass up then for terran) becoming a bit of a problem. I still think that teching down is the perfect solution to MVP's ghost turtle build and I actually havnt seen anyone else even try that build. | ||
