I remember I often saw thor against ultra in late game TvZ during HotS when the terran mech was very popular. Thors vs Ultras is efficient for Terran, but Terran wants to be efficient, so it's quite even. | ||

Many games in SPL and GSL almost ended when the Immortals survived... and in lots a games it felt like "He won because the Immo didn't really die" I hope the gas reduction in Cyclone help to open agressive against Protoss a little more... I mean, I can go now Concusive Marauder again and get a Cyclone against MotherCore early... and then keep it alive against Oracle while bumping any other thing. Let's see what happens... but I still fell they should have lowered the Mins also a little. | ||

When Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors is trying to add a new move to his game he doesn't get it perfectly right the instant he thinks of it. He works on it in practice where he fails a 100 times before he can incorporate it into his game and blow by Kyrie Irving of Cleveland like he is a human pylon. So let's give Blizzard the room to fail in the middle of their creatives processes. | ||

A series of terrible ideas that almost went live is not the same as ABC person practicing XYZ tactic (I have no idea who or what game you are refering to btw, (Wtf is a human pylon? Does he warp in zealots in your main?) so forgive me if my interpretation of your analogy is incorrect ) and that it wasn't as awful as it could had been is in any way comparable in scale, shape or form. lol, lighten up dawg. creative processes require room in the middle of them for experimentation and failure before you happen upon an amazing success. so give Blizzard that room. was Brood War rattled off by Fitch in a month just after meeting with management about it? no, there were many mistakes along the way; its part of the process. Software development is a craft ; it is not a factory assembly line. Please note my signature. now that Blizzard is opening up a little bit and showing us part of their development process lets not rip them to shreds in the middle of the creative parts. if Blizzard listened to the hyper-critical know-it-alls in this forum all the staff that made Brood War awesome in 1998 would've been fired in 1997. A lynch mob would've been screaming for Rob Pardo's head with petitions and surveys and threats of boycott because the Academy cost 200 minerals. | ||

How is that different than 7-8 Lurkers out DPSing anything the Protoss has, aside from Immortals? Zerg is the wastful, mass unit race, which can tech switch really, really fast. Protoss has to have a more efficient unit to one-up the Zerg, otherwise Protoss is dead. And that is why nerfing Immortals while keeping Lurkers the same is a very bad idea. | ||

I never liked that unit, even when I played random in WoL and rolled protoss. I think it is fundamentally flawed, being a unit that gives a high reward for low effort. Not a good successor to the reaver, which is high reward for high effort (as I think it should be). The disruptor is a much better successor to the reaver than the colossus IMO. | ||

The disruptor is a much better successor to the reaver than the colossus IMO. I don't agree, I like colossi because I don't have enough apm to correctly handle all protoss army spells in a couple of seconds after engaging the ennemy army, and having the opportunity to replace disruptor by colossi will give me sustained AoE while allowing me to micro the rest of my army. I don't see them as overlapping units. I totally understand the point of view of blizzard who wants to help non-pro players with this little buff. | ||
