I spent hundreds of games playing monobattles with the Raven to micro, multi-cast and mess around with raven hotkeys. In the end, I still am god awful with Ravens even as a Rank 1 master terran. Hopefully this will make them at least, marginally easier to use. With that said, I think the biggest change that must be made is: Allow Ravens to cast while being fungaled wait WHAT? they can't cast while fungaled? wtf | ||

Raven needs a speed buff, and now that zergs are building more queens, creep spread is a little bit too fast. agree about creep spread. I've pushed out at 9-10 mins before only to find a creep highway thats already just below my natural ramp..... although this meant that the zerg had let other things go by the wayside, 4 queens pooping out tumors takes A LOT of scans to deal with lol. Raven change might also encourage earlier ravens to deal with creep spread. | ||

The creep mechanic was born with the idea that it would need a nerf when players will get good enough at it. | ||

It will, on maps like Cloud Kingdom terran will actually be able to land a well timed fourth base before creep gets there, example being DRG vs MKP where MKP couldn't land his fourth as DRG already had creep there. Not a huge difference, but it's still something. | ||

Oh yea, not to mention they can burrow, many can be built at once, and they are good against all unit compositions in the game. | ||

 But I guess 2.5 years to start reworking creep is still better than nothing | ||

Thor Strike Cannons. They gave a pretty detailed and well reasoned explanation for both the initial change and rollback too. I think multiple queens is not a problem. The point of multiple queens (and queen range) was to give Zerg earlier defense and indirectly a way to prevent hellions from completely shutting down creep spread. The indirect buff is that hellions don't deny creep spread and Zerg has a bunch of Queens to spread creep with. The original problem has been solved (early defense against Stalker kiting, hellions, ect) so now they're toning down creep tumors. This seems much better than reverting queen range and literally resetting the state of Zerg to a few months ago (well I guess they'd still have the overlord buff). | ||

Seeker missile cost or cast range appear to be secondary factors Yep, you have really understood the problem with the raven..... NOT! All the used damaging abilities have a casting range of 9. That means every spell except HSM. Now take a wild guess, why HSM is NOT used as much? | ||
