Wtf when did they let void rays shoot while moving?


 

they decreased the dmg done by them a bit BUT.. the continual shooting while moving is huge esp if you teched up and trained faster VR. 

 

  • hit gatherers
  • switch to the base when they pull away
  • run out when they bring in air defense.
  • repeat = much down time on resource gathering.

LOL at the nubb T player who brought in his banshee and hellions vs my VRs..


Yea they don't shoot while moving but they are allowed to be "pulled" a little bit if the other player micros the target away. They have to move some distance in order to break the beam I think.

Re: grrrr zerg

For equal supply few units are as good as a VR but for equal cost most things beat a VR.

Re: grrrr zerg

so i guess playing better = better defense vs zerg.  when i pay attention to building placement and ramp blocking vs zerg, i survive the initial surge.  i guess i just needed to play more to get the feel for the game.  I never played SC1 much..

 

last nite, i was playing vs random.  i scouted at 9/10 and see that its a zerg player.  i hide my probe on the edge of his area and drop a pylon.  get 2 zealots at his ramp, and he doesn't put zerglings out there.

 

my forge comes down, i drop 2 cannons just north of the pylon (just south of his hatchery).  then i bring in 3 zealots in attemp to "rush".  now i have my gateway rally point up his ramp.  my zealots are faced w/ a queen and 12+ zerglings.  then i proceed to "run away" to my 2 cannons.  all my zealots survive and all his units are fried to a golden photon crisp.  by this time i get more zealots from my area and they start to wreck  everything.  he surrenders.  ahh sweet victory.
