Has anyone looked into ghost mech? I know it's been talked about and tossed around but I have never actually seen a pro try to use it. It sounds good to me but is there something I'm missing that prevents that strat from being viable? Now with ghosts nerf is this strat just completely wishful thinking? Look up avilo stream he is experimenting with ghost mech as well, but he always, always, always dies to Broodlord/Infestor/Corruptor - lately hes been using some Ravens probably to better use if I recall correctly.. | ||

Why does Blizzard continue to play the fool upon the whole PvT late game thing and please don't tell me there is no issue there as well. Maybe cause they have screwed up majorly and know it's unfixable, but it's definetely a problem that needs some kind of solution, more of the TvZ ghost issue. I mean the ghost may have a bigger role that the one they intended but that's not such a bad thing, at least not accordingly to the current state of the game / metagame. Still they address it immediately but the won't even mention the TvP issue. I gues that cant admit that they have fucked up majorly with the design of Toss :/ We will never see any changes in TvP late game because there is nothing they can do about it without re-design Protoss. They will never do that in WoL and they will probably don't do it in HotS either because they can't, or they are just to proud of the warpgate mechanism and the arsenal of Protoss. | ||

Instead of giving Protoss an option vs mutalisks, they remove the mutalisk option all-together. Yeah, that 10 minute fleet beacon timing will make mutalisks impossible every game forever. Really? Requiring an upgrade on the fleet beacon for it means that Protoss will still rarely go for it, and when they do, it'll be a late response to mutas, never a pro-active thing. +range on the phoenix doesn't help harass at all really. At most you'd get a couple extra overlords by just barely edging out spore crawlers. It doesn't modify graviton lift at all. | ||

The problem is that Ghosts now take dozens of snipes to kill Ultras and Broodlords. You ever see blink stalkers blink once they're fungal'd? Or storms from fungal'd HT's? Or Vikings change form? Answer is no because fungal completing prevents the use of special abilities throughout the duration of the spell. | ||

A zerg going mutalisks, when confronted with the appropriate response to mutalisks, should have more than one option that is optimal. Right now they have one, which is double down on mutalisks. | ||

Snipe change, is another thing I'm not too sure off (as a zerg player). +25 vs psyonic seems very weird and way to "niche", but I like that there is something done about the "snipe is good vs (nearly) everything that zerg has". Mules the same on gold and blue minerals is great, and I don't think it will change too much, but hopefully lead to a comeback of gold minerals in tournaments. | ||

By morph single overseer I take it you failed to notice GHOSTS CAN SNIPE OVERSEERS AND VIKINGS HAVE STUPID RANGE. You make it sound like zerg has it easy. You obviously have never watched or played in high level games. Overseers do not live long when ghosts are around... or worse... ghosts and vikings. Zerg usually has to morph like 5 if the terran is doing his job just to prevent autoloss. The point is yes the zerg can do some things to win... but the terran also has plenty of tools to use and now just has to rely on something other than MASS SNIPE LULZ. This is called balance. When you can't win with just one unit and the enemy has to use multiple units to counter your counters and vice versa. And if you talk about approaching broodlords then you have never approached a tank line knowing you will lose half your forces just getting to it... before you can do damage. (that is hyperbole but I figured that was how you structure your arguments) Oh and great patch. Not keen on the phoenix but I am zerg. Love the MULE balance. And snipe. | ||

You can stop talking now. He went to the effort of answering your question, for you to dismiss it by giving a one-liner about army positioning? The premise of your argument was that Ravens aren't viable because no famous players use them. A famous player used them. Your argument is illogical. If you want to change your premise, go ahead and do that. But don't dismiss someone proving your whole argument false. | ||
