Also, they never tried out giving Carrier BW mechanics (which is somewhat possible in the editor, I posted the instructions in the carrier thread before). | ||

Also, they never tried out giving Carrier BW mechanics (which is somewhat possible in the editor, I posted the instructions in the carrier thread before). and most people who play dota only play a few characters. competitive dota usually has a smaller subset of heros that are used in the current metagame and therefore many characters are considered irrelevant for periods. compare that to sc2, you have to KNOW what every unit does and what counters it etc to play competitively. not to mention, what is good for dota isn't what is good for SC2. They are completely different games, its a little like saying "harry potter games have 20 different spells, why can't HT's have 20 too?" | ||

Edit. David Kim's Ew. As Terran you can play harass based strategy or Protoss style (aka Death ball) Shoot. I don't particulary like Protoss play now and I'd hate to see Terran turn into deathball rather than true mech play of controlling space, creeping forward, creating great siege lines. | ||

One thing, though. I have no idea what Kennigit was talking about with neural parasite. Has anyone ever heard of this complaint before? Are corruptors the only allowed counter to Mothership in some people's eyes? ZvP has a lot of issues on both sides but this was the one specific brought up? I just find it really odd. | ||

I don't watch many pro games, but I never seen it happen. I could be wrong, but I think Kennegit was just trying to help illustrate the ZvP "problem" where the game hinges on one moment...will the Vortex work or not. However, Kennegit brought up Neural Parasiting a Mothership, and D-Browds was focusing on that instead of the Mothership Vortex. | ||

Just because protoss is a move based, you don't have to make every other race a move based too, you just have to fix protoss. Basically it comes down to the the ol' chair with a shorter leg argument, it is better to cut down the other 3, or to make the shorter one longer, by attaching a piece of wood to it? This way the oly thing they are going to achieve is homogenizing the races even more. As an example the tempest : just a guardian with double range. Boring. And goes against the concept even himself stated, to make units which achieve a similar role, but differently. | ||

No, we'd prefer making a small mistake, then getting punished, but still have a chance. Currently, it's One Good Vortex = Protoss Wins; Missing Vortexes = Zerg Wins. | ||

What I mean is it's different. It's literally both players have deathballs, if zerg lets vortex get half or more of his bl's he loses, if zerg neurals the mothership and wastes the vortexes he wins. This is stupid and incredibly boring to watch and play. I hope this is fixed as it's just boring to play and watch and makes zvp imo one of if not the most boring mu in the game. | ||

I don't think he ever explicitly said that he want's the terran deathball to function as a-movish that the protoss army tends to become, just that he wants to give terrans a way to play a more passive game instead of the current hyper-aggressive bioplay. If you consider that tanks tend to be the backbone of mech, as well as the inclusion of widow mines, I think we terrans are on the right track for now. | ||
