It does twice as much damage as it did in brood war, and was arguably the best late game unit there. The weakness of the carrier is that units clump up much more in SC2, so the interceptors just melt under clumped anti air units. The other reason that it's bad is of course that it's so slow, and the fact that you can't really kite with it like you could in BW. It's just not true. You can't just blindly say that it has the best dps in the game and then ignore the fact that it doesn't. An interceptor does 10 (5x2) damage (ignoring armor and upgrades) per attack every 3 seconds, so 3.3* dps. A fully stocked carrier has 8 interceptors, so 26.6* dps. This is not immensely high. Thors and Battlecruisers do more dps to ground units, Battlecruisers do the same dps to air units, Void Rays do the same dps once charged if the unit is armored and more if it's also massive, Immortals and Ultralisks do more dps to armored ground units. If you take it per supply, then stimmed marines do well over twice the dps, while Zerglings do over three times the dps. If you take it per resource spent, then Adrenal Glands zerglings do over eight times the dps. They do not have the best dps in the game based on anything. The absolute best you can do is for a single unit vs air, and even then it's only equal to the battlecruiser. | ||
