So I was messing around with my roommate with the beta, and we realized that the duration of vortex is the exact same as the time it takes to call down a nuke. We've been playing around online now, trying to suck in an opponent's units and then nuke them right as they come out, but haven't been successful yet haha.
Thoughts?
I like how spells between races in 2v2s can be combined to have such an effect. Are there any other combos like this out there? Like Vortex + Banelings?
Sounds like a plan :). If you pull it off, post the replay! :D
EDIT: this comment directed to the OP :p
I have no beta.Quote:

there's a couple vids in the video section of people pulling this off. it's quite fun to watch :)
Hey wouldn't that be sweet? If you vortex'd an army of enemy units, then let your ally run like 40 banelings in there? Since all units are invincible the moment vortex ends, BAM!
yeah is possible!

Was that not what I was suggesting?Quote:

Oh, sorry, I misread you. Is mass psi-storm viable here?Quote:

Yeah, that was great! loved it guys- NICE WORK!Quote:

The mothership can cloak allied units too? I did not know that.
Regarding Vortex, there are a couple things I'm curious about:
1. If the Nuke arrives before Vortex ends, does it get sucked in as well? Or are the units inside saved?
2. Can Interceptors get caught in a Vortex and what happens if the Carrier moves away? What if the Carrier gets caught and not the Interceptors?
Nuke falls as usual,and cuz units dissapear they are saved,And if carrier get sucked interceptors return to the carrierQuote:
