One more supply on a Raven matters a lot when you need only one against Banshees? It matters if you want to mass them, it almost doesn't matter at all if you only need that one. That is one Marine less. | ||

Did PDD get reduced from 180 to 20, but durable materials still apply to make it 80 seconds? | ||

It's actually that funny. | ||

Well, to be fair a lot of spellcasters including the Raven would be much fairer in the lategame if they had just 3 instead of 2supply. Like HTs or that might have solved the Infestor problem of WoL without rendering the unit bad in the midgame. There is something stupid to having units that cost like 200 or 300 resources and then they cost the same supply as something that is 100/0 or 75/25. That's the main reason why certain compositions are just so much better than others in maxed scenarios, they are just double as costly (and "double" as strong) which forces everybody to start massing such high cost/low supply units eventually. (spellcasters aren't the only ones - e,g, banelings - , but some of the most prevalent) Whether that would be the best way to deal with mass Ravens I'm not sure as such stuff messes up builds and takes away from the swarmy mass army feeling of the game, but in principle I think it isn't wrong that this is a core weakness of the game. | ||

Whole new Swarm Host too. This might pose a problem for Zerg against Protoss air and Terran Mech if Locusts don't auto cast when burrowed. | ||

And I don't think it is a problem if it doesn't autocast. With 60second cooldown, I think you really want to control when you use that and you don't want to accidently have the locusts spawn and then you get attacked with empty swarm host around. | ||

I think it might, based on the new DPS and ability of flying locusts, it may be hard for Terran camping mech players to kill all locusts prior to them doing dmg. In the past, it was less of an issue due to siege tanks. Pure speculation on my part, nothing more, but I am very optimistic at this point. | ||

Play tank defense too long and flying locusts come and wreck your shit. They force both zerg and terran to be less passive. Raven nerf is a plus here as it makes terran passive game even harder. | ||

The PDD nerf should fix that. Previously the mech player could camp behind an effectively permanent PDD emplacement, but now with the 20 second timer Z should be able to bait out PDDs, retreat, and re-engage later when the PDDs are expired and the ravens' energy is diminished. That and the locust flight upgrade, as others mentioned. | ||
