No game plan, no baits, no diversions, just get out on the map with marines and 4 tankivacs and take an abusive position. Indeed, for example TY vs aLive earlier this week in proleague. No game plan, no baits, no diversions. /sarcasm What a load of crap. | ||

Siege Tank damage increased from 35 (50 vs. armored) to 40 (60 vs. armored) We wanted to locate numbers that would specifically buff the Siege Tank heavily vs. certain units and not others. Then why not just do just that..? Brood War tanks did extra damage to Ultralisks and Protoss Shields. They were designed in such a way so they would be equally strong against everything on the ground. I don't mean to invoke SC1 for no reason. But that's what I assume Dayvie means when he talk about tanks "fulfilling their fantasy" by being stronger against Marauders - that they shouldn't be countered by any rock-paper-scissors kind of unit. If that's the goal, then across-the-board buffs to splash is a crude way of going about it. Against many unit compositions, Siege Tanks are already very strong. (But tbh I think flying siege tanks are cool and there's no real reason they have to be changed) | ||

Well that is obviously because the strongest stuff in LoTV is most of the new stuff  (tankivacs, adepts, libs, ravagers, lurkers, early reapers in TvZ, pylon cannon...) | ||

Yes and I believe this would be the right move and a good middleground between removing or keeping the siege pick up. Would be nice to see some more showmatches do get a better picture of this potential changes. | ||

make drilling claws affect unsiege time for tanks. That way in mid-late game if you want to dodge biles or something, you can unsiege quickly and pick up (yes it will be difficult to pull off). Keep sieging up time the same. | ||

If those people would play terran they'd know how cancerous tvt is to play. Strategy, positioning etc doesn't matter at all it's just 2 players boosting their tankivacs around and the first one who drops them in an abusive position wins. This is really an insult to the name RTS and it should be removed immediately. | ||

The concept was highly criticized at first but I think enough time has passed that players have learned to adapt to it and furthermore, utilize the strategy to its most optimal level. Just look at aLive vs TY during yesterday's afreeca vs KT match. That match was so invigorating and exciting. I think keeping tankivacs will make for much more action packed games in the long run. Maybe try remove boost from medivac when something is hanging under it | ||
