Increasing the speed / acceleration for the Oracle still promotes early game all ins, but the revelation range is awesome. | ||

Completely removing that tech path need is like saying I wish I could deal with templars efficiently as terran without every having to make a ghost academy. I know, I know...but Robo play is so boring! Though, really, if Oracles can be good enough at spotting/tagging armies and be easier to keep alive for detection, it's a real possibility. Stargate + storm, no Colossus needed...it could happen!!!! On September 26 2013 04:19 awesomoecalypse wrote: My favorite suggestion on the DT change was to tie it to researching charge. That is, charge not only improves base Zealot speed, but also buffs base DT speed. That way they're slightly better in the lategame, without being any stronger early on. oooo I like this!

Yeah, but not nearly as much as making them cost 50 less gas. Plus, these changes make them more viable overall, for more reasons than just being cheaper. | ||

Is there anything they can do for that unit that wouldn't promote some form of all in? I mean, if they buff the banshee, its promotes all ins. If they buff the zealot, also promotes all in. Marines too. | ||

I'd think that Observers and Warp Prisms are way too useful to completely neglect Robo tech, even if other units are able to replace the role of the boring old Colossus. | ||

Be a boss? Exactly right. Completely covering every mineral line in defense is a significant investment, and there's no rule saying you can only attack directly into a mineral line. If your Oracle forces a lot of static defense, and then you pick off small numbers of light units around the map throughout the game, and finally in the lategame use it for Revelations to help with positioning, then the unit is still a worthwhile investment, even if it didn't outright end the game by wiping out a whole mineral line early on. | ||

Mines to 1.50 radius and it'll be perfect. Ps : I don't see why blizzard takes forever to release test maps. I already made my own (following their change )in like 10 seconds using the editor. | ||

It's a really bad unit spectator wise, from Widow Mines you at least get a explosion from a Oracle you simply get death. The DT change could have been better used imo. Edit: Still wondering how the Terran mid/late game will fair with these changes. (TvP) | ||

Otherwise, whatever goes, goes. Just need to adjust to it accordingly and accept change. | ||

And all you trolls can sit here and say stop crying, ur a noob, etc... but we all know its true. I was hoping to read some good news that blizzard finally realizes how OP terran is with mules, medivacs, mines, SCANS, and just making marine mauarder and owning everything and everyone. It's ridiculous and boring. P.S. I just had to copy this from Bnet forums, I find it hilarious :D | ||

I just hope the change to the widow mine does not completely remove it from the game, like what happened to the Hellbat. Other changes should be good. | ||

They need to stop designing units (oracles, banshees, hellions) that are too fragile for even small scale encounters but have insane dps against workers. They could try an hp boost combined with a dps nerf. | ||
