wish someone would have asked why carrier is pretty much the only unit that have been complained about since release yet they never even tried to patch it.

I've seen more Carriers then Battle Cruisers sense I think SC2 hit beta... and they want to remove the Carrier because its useless? I've atleast seen people win. Even in TvT, the only match up you really see the BC, its just kinda wiped out unless you rush it earlier verse a guy with only marines....

Bah, I wasn't a fan of the questions asked or how they were asked, they didn't really seem to get the actual opinions of the community out there.

But even more so I'm incredibly discouraged with how Blizzard is approaching things. Seems awful to me, I've heard Browder speak before and he has too much of a "what I envision" rather than what the community wants. I mean, he didn't even know BW well. Ugh...

And NP on mothership is definitely a huge issue. If you get it off successfully usually the game will instantly win for the Zerg.

There's been a helluva lot more Battlecrusiers than Carriers. They're pretty legit in TvP as well with Ghost support.

Disappointing there was no follow up to Dustin Browder's comment about carriers. He generalizes the entire debate. Ignoring the arguments many brought up, and the general reasons they want to remove the carrier are based off incorrect facts. I'm not sure which community he listens to, cause they chime the same argument in unison. Made me sad and cynical again of Blizzard.

David Kim interview was pretty interesting. I'm glad it was much longer.

Here we have an example of hearing what you want to hear. People want to find faults in people to justify their prejudices.


IT can be good but the issue is that you'll still lose all your BL to archons, then toss just sacks his archons. Now what? You have no energy on your infestors - they're taking up supply, and if toss remaxes on something you're boned. You have to be careful with teh energy, and it's not like Toss throws their entire army into the toilet. It's meant to get the Zerg army coupled with Toss archons, and some blink stalkers. That's it. Which is also why banes, which are fickle due to storm and colossi being in play, are also not used. You going to throw in banes to do splash dmg to archons? It' snot like the banes get to hit every unit in the toilet - archons only work because they're so good vs the air. Also, vortex is used to phase out certain units from a battle as well, not just for the toilet.

I think overall, Blizz is a little too optimistic about WOL. It's a great game, but it does have many flaws.

From the sounds of it in the interview, they are building HOTS around/over these flaws rather than doing the gutsy move and fixing them on the spot.

Just listen the interview with Dustin. Not as impressive as the 2011 one.

On the other hand, i enjoyed a LOT the interview with Grubby. Kinda sad to see that indeed Sc2 is a bit coinflippy even at higher levels u.u

Carriers are the ultimate units PvZ so u know. kinda ignorant, really sad ppl have to go to the game developpers and tell them their units are actually used in the gsl, wonder when they watch it, since they do so much...

I think they're actually replacing the Archon Toilet with something stronger against Zerg. Stasis Field against air units. If all air units are negated than the Protoss can just a-move and kill all the ground units (as the current zerg ground units aren't as strong). Once Stasis Field wears off, the air units will then be easy to deal with (not sure how big the radius/range on Stasis Field is on the HotS Mothership though). Though, we'll see how it goes.

Also this is good game on how Zero dealt with an attempt at an Archon Toilet (he split up his BL and put them under a group of spines).
+ Show Spoiler +



Of course in sudden engagements where you just notice the Protoss army moving out, it will be sort of a coinflip to see who wins (whether the Vortex will miss or you can NP before Vortex hits).

I know that in HotS, Hydralisk / Viper / Swarm Host (at least from that Battle Report) seem to be really effective late game. They said they wanted the older unit compositions to still work but it seems the new Mothership ability is actually stronger than the Archon Toilet (again, I don't know the range of Stasis Field but being able to Stasis all air units to divide the army seem really strong).

The best part of the David Kim interview is at 24:00, when he talks about why they introduce two 1-A units to Terran and two not-1-A units to Protoss. Smart thing they did there. I was intensively criticizing the warhound and battlehellion, and I didn't see their intention is kinda legit in some way.

As much as the 22 range tempest sound cool and all but it just an A-move unit nothing special about it. The carrier on the other hand has potential, if they actually fix the way carrier are suppose to function and with carrier you can actually micro them, which mean is more fun to used.CARRIER>>>TEMPEST
