Most of the end tier capital units are used in mirror matchups. Tempests to snipe colossus. Battle-cruisers to snipe tanks. Broodlords to be dumb and dumb. Carriers are garbage though. For a variety of reasons they are, by far, the worst unit in the game.

ZvT can actually see ultras after a while of ling-bling-muta. However a lot of games in our leagues don't really get that far because you only need it in specific spots and it requires crisp macro and timings.

It is widely acknowledged that Terran has the highest burden of micro of the three races.

yeah people talk about the Protoss Micro but it's really easy to just make a quick blink stalker defence force and make a huge 200 supply deathball and a-move the enemy base

there was a guy who used to do troll sc2 games and he won a game with nothing but ravens

he would also like take 5 bases right away and do other poo poo no one would really expect it was amazing to see the kind of poo poo he could get away with

ravens arenused a lot in tvt now. if a guy goes mech u basically need 2 make ravens and u seeker the freakin tanks. also if the go bio.. u seeker the freakin marines and kill 99999 marines in a single volley. somehow due to some hosed up patches ravrens are now a core tvt unit and are also OP. can u fuckin believe that. we live in a world where ravens are literally OP. fml. the pdd is OP. seeker is OP. free autoturrets are OP. LOL hosed up

amassing ravens is really expensive, and their only defense is the seeker missile which takes up like all their energy. if you dont have them guarded by a company of vulcans and stuff it could be a massive loss. risk/reward

besides it's not like they're loving swarm hosts that summon a constant stream of little fuckers that tear anything on the ground apart and are pretty much the backbone of zerg armies these days. thank god they're getting changed in legacy

ya like tvt mech devolves into a huge pack of tanks and then a huge ball of ravens+vikings swarmoing around oer the tanks like a big cloud of fuckery. then smoene gets bored, unsieges, and seekers fly everywhere and a random person types GG 3 seconds later

If you think constant macro, multiple medivac drop harass, and splitting versus banelings is boring... well sc2 might not be the game for you.

stuff changed

no more herc (good because the herc was insaaaane)
they're trying to slow down combat by lowering attack speeds but keeping damage the same which sounds like they just want stutter stepping all the time
thor lost the auto-repair
they're making a new protoss unit that sounds cool, it can pop out clones that are invincible and blink to them
immortal barrier is now 100hp and you don't have to research it. compare it to 10 hits from anything over 10 damage in hots. it's gonna make them sick against smaller units but worse against bigger stuff
roaches now have free burrow movement
the infestor antiair skill is on vipers now

yep. talk about stuff not being final. hasn't even been like a month since those videos and they took out the HERC and thor self-repair, and are talking about other new units.

they also want a terran unit that sort of has a TF2 engineer role of building structures quickly on the field and poo poo which sounds like it could be cool but, yeah, tentative as hell. may not even make it past the drawing board

insytead of "slowing down combat" they shold simply remove COLOSSUS from the game. POS units suck balls. replace them with REAVER
