just wait until terrans learn how to spread their tanks (they don't know how yet)

They did in Broodwar, back when strategic positioning mattered. Now it's all LOL BIG UNIT BALL GO ATAK

[Sinitron]

that's sort of what i'm saying though, in brood war you HAD to split tanks to maximize damage because otherwise they would all unload on the same target

[rtil]

well now you have to split tanks or zergs will blind all of them in battle rendering them useless

except they still do the reduced damage due to smartfire which was made to help clusters of tanks

so tanks are effectively neutered even more by a shitty anti-micro gimmick unit

[rtil]

vipers encourage smarter terran play, tanks do enough damage . tvp is another problem entirely

[Sinitron]

vipers don't encourage anything, they're a gimmicky anti-micro cheese unit

[rtil]

maybe the pulling spell is anti-micro but blinding cloud actually forces you to micro rather than not. units that you don't micro out of the cloud will become useless. it's like calling banelings an anti-micro unit.

[Sinitron]

it's not a maybe

anti-micro = takes control away

fungal/pull are examples of this

it's going to get nerfed to shit like neural did

[Crabarms]

Or maybe there will be a reason to build vikings.

[rtil]

you don't even need vikings, vipers are extremely fragile and you're lucky to get away with half of them still alive in a major battle

I bet spreading creep in his base was satisfying.
