If it's not in the patch notes then it's a bug that will be fixed. To the people saying Phoenix are micro intensive, lol. I wouldn't expect any Protoss player below Top8 Masters to know what "micro intensive" means.


No kidding. The most hilarious part about this thread is listening to Protosses scramble for examples of how their race is on the same level of difficulty as the other two.

Well, look at it this way:
If they only had non moving shooting phoenixes as their units, AND you could even warp them from warpgates, they......actually wouldn't win many games.

I'm Terran, btw, l0l.

Whiny terrans are good like that.

This is an old bug from the single player, which I sure will be an easy fix.

Would make sense.. But might be a bug.

With micro you can still get them to fire while moving, can you not? Not necessarily a bad change, to demand micro, for a game like starcraft

This completely.

You can now shoot wile moving, but only with micro. I think many micro fans are a fan of this, although maybe not protoss players in general, since it is still a nerf.

That said, I think that maybe the range upgrade should get removed, and phoenix should get 5 range now just to balance things? or would protoss rather have 4+6 still?


On a rather unrelated note: Probably not many people knew this, but scouts had ridiculously good ability to shoot while moving (including backwards) in SC1 when microed — pretty sure the best in the game. People are aware of mutalisk micro vs scourge, but with scouts it's like 3x faster and easier. It made it fun for me to get scouts vs zerg when I'd play PvZ, since while prohibitively expensive, scourges couldn't deal with them, so they were excellent harass (since you can't have hydras everywhere)

Without move and shoot on phoenix, mutas hard counter phoenix. With move and shoot but small range, unless a top pro player is controlling the phoenix: mutas hard counter phoenix. Only non-pros get the range upgrade, which allows lower level players to actually counter mutas with phoenix.

And are you really demanding micro for a fast moving, low HP glass-cannon that has to use an ability on each ground unit it attacks? Phoenix are one of the most, if not the most, micro intensive units in the game.



Uhh.

Ok, I agree with the other guy who said to try play marine & Marauder vs banelings infestor. Then you know what micro intensive means. truly, 1 second you look away, you look back and you only see banelings


You know, infestors don't move at 3.75 speed... nor banelings

Neither do they shoot while moving. You literally just have to right click phoenixes away from stuff and they do the rest themselves.

Nonono! You forget that phoenixes are the fastest air unit in the game, and that's problematic, because once you escape the danger zone you quickly end up in another danger zone and you have to move them again!

Well, technically, banelings shoot while moving ;D
But god I just imagined an infestor auto casting free fungals while moving... Well actually it wasn't that much better than your regular infestor.

It seems to be an issue in customs, there is multiple replays with issues (that most people CANT watch because 1.5 is not live on their region) and a Youtube video that backs up the theroy. Ladder games might be fine ,or vice versa.

So? So what?

Phoenixs are super quick. Yes MM can stim, but on creep its tough. Really tough having to split vs banelings and infestors because if infestors can fungal a big clump, then a few banelings will finish that.

But I dont want to turn this into a TvP thread. I'll let other experienced terran players tell you.....if you dont think so, try playing MM vs bling infestors without tanks. If marines and marauders shoot while moving, of course I can just stim and move back
Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

You know Mutas shit all over Phoenixes once the numbers get big enough, right? With or without the upgrade. So to take out moving shot would make them even more useless than before. Blink stalkers and storm are still the preferred method for dealing with mutas for a reason. Phoenixes just aren't good.


moving shot? Phoenixes don't have moving shot.
