Patch 11 Notes

[TheRabidDeer]

Your micro in that video was subpar (not surprising, given the newness of the change, and not telling of your skill, but relevant to our interests). Most of the time you only had one Phoenix attacking the enemy.

The Phoenix has both range and speed over the Mutalisk. This is gonna be Hellion vs. Zerglings here. Shooting fish in a barrel.

Thats the other thing, the phoenix automatically spread so if you continually do it that way its the best you can hope for. The air physics force them to spread resulting in just a couple attacking if you dont want to take damage.

You all talk about playing professionally, is what I'm saying.

I don't think anyone is technically talking about playing professionally, but instead, professional play. What I mean is, I am concerned about how these patch changes affect professional play even though I am not even close to a professional player. The reason being, I like many others on this forum greatly enjoy starcraft for its professional world in addition to its other good qualities.

In fact, I think I ended up spending almost as much time watching professional scbw replays and shoutcasts as I did playing the multiplayer. So professional play can still be important even if you're not a professional.

I don't think you could logically tell someone not to invest time or concern with the NBA just because they aren't professional basketball players.

I don't see a problem with the example you provided, the unit's main role in the game is to counter mutalisks ( fast speed , bonus vs light), so yeah it bether be godly in that one role. Just like helions vs zerglings
Pheonix still sucks against all other air units, that can atack it back!

And it's realy not that easy to efectively control phoeniexes vs mutalisk in large scenarious, as some people portrait it. It's realy demanding and micro intensive. If you don't have perfect micro and higm apm, you can forget anything anything more than 1-2 ration.

Yep. Happens to me every game. Expect a patch addendum very soon.

I've been waiting since Patch 9 for a fix to my problems. Hasn't happened yet.

[Noctis]

All you have to do is oopen the task manager or hit the Start/windows key and right-click on SC2 and close it. itll bring up not-responding - end now.


I know why this happened!!!


The game couldn't handle the Archon and Phoenix buff.

Yeah, because Phoenixes are basically only good vs. Mutas in whole Zerg army... They should be hard counters to Mutas. I really don't see problem with this, even tough I am an Zerg player.

[Blazur]

Haven't tried this yet, but I read some reports that using ALT-F4 to close the game prevents it from crashing.

[SlickR]

I like all the changes.

Now we start talking.. This is probably the best patch from Blizzard yet.

[Todie]

too bad it didnt fix the widspread replay-viewing issue.

... its been fixed by amateurs by now; that implies its a really simple fix. personally i dont want to mess with my registry so im still stuck without reps.

[Blazur]

I think the Phoenix attack-move mechanic has great potential, but they need to balance is with caution. In the hands of skilled players this will completely dominate the air. There needs to be some drawback to its use, possible in the form of deceleration.

Still wish it had the overload ability though, that sounded interesting =[
