They're changing High-Capacity Fuel Tanks though--it's probably still useless, but it's hard to be completely sure. | ||

I don't think lowering supply does anything here, it would only matter in low supply but a maxed out toss while be having more tempests and actually catching them will be really hard. They only have 3/5 of the hp they used to have though. I'd like to see how the speed really affects tempests vs. marines/hydras/vikings/corruptor, but i doubt it'll make enough of a difference to counteract being that much squishier. | ||

Honestly I think what evrey Terran really wants the cyclone to be is the Goliath 2.0 that's the unit fantasy it would be nice if we could get that and have it balanced, not so good that it outshine bio as a footman unit, but does offer Terran some level of flexibility and anti air that they can mix into there mech army. Right now the cyclone is in a weird spot of being a very useful unit in the early game for fending of allins or doing an Allin yourself but outside of that it does not really do much or see much use. In a lot of ways it's a lot like the reaper, now I'm fine with the way the reaper is, it has a well defined place and role for terran, but I don't think the cyclone is in as good a spot and mech feels lacking without a Goliath like unit in a way that bio does not with out mid or late game utility from reapers. | ||

I don't think lowering supply does anything here, it would only matter in low supply but a maxed out toss while be having more tempests and actually catching them will be really hard. Tempests just aren't used much in any situation except to counter range libs and ultra emergency brood lord counter, and even then the minimum possible number. They needed to be buffed a) to see more use and b) offset the kind of ridiculous carrier nerfs. Graviton catapult removal is a huge deal in nerfing sky toss, carriers no longer have siege/poke potential so tempest needs to step up to fulfill that role better than it did so far. Personally I would have preferred a faster attack animation rather than the crazy speed boost, but maybe now the new skytoss comp will be tempest/voidray/colossus instead of carrier/archon/templar. Seems interesting. | ||

I dont see how any of this addresses late game Tvp. Unless im missing something feedback still shits on BC? Terran is dead presently when Toss rounds out their massive splash with tempests to shut down the liberators. Having less hitpoints is irrelevant if the range is the same and they are now faster? You cant get to them with your army without getting nuked.. you give ravens a redundant ability with ghosts to nuke shields..im not really following. Nerfing cyclone basically removes the proxy all in which im ok with but this is going to be an even more epic shitshow than we had pre stalker nerf. I guess Maru will come up w some proxy all inns that dont involve cyclones lol. And why are u changing disrupters?? At least now u have the potential to micro units into them to set them off..u want them to be even easier to spam now?? How bout we look at the main problem ??? Not a word about chrono????! | ||
