The problem is that there is no counter to scourge in high numbers right now ... so aside from maybe putting up a storm wall and having them fly through it ... you'll land the scourge on the units every time



And if you turn down the damage and rely on the AOE damage to make them split, I think they'll be relatively useless.  Also, it kindof goes against the idea of starcraft already to suicide units like scourge and banelings ... you shouldnt be able to pay to kill enemy units like that.  Banelings are forgivable because they have big downsides



BUT MAYBE IF YOU FILL AN OVERLORD WITH 4 BANELINGS AND CRASH IT INTO A CARRIER IT'D BLOW UP :D

Why not? it's like fungal raping current sky toss except that sky toss army can't even attack.

Tempest attack range is higher than cast range of blinding cloud so unless you want to suicide 4-5 vipers for a chance at that blanket cloud its not really worth it. Damage output of lategame toss army is way too high for any lategame zerg arm to deal with. Storm will still rape hydras and infestors because they will obviously be clumped, and colo are mixed in with archons as well to deal with hydras.

Am I the only one who thinks the 60s vision from the oracle is complete bullshit? Observer in combination with tempests is already really strong ... but you can kill the observer. Revelation you can't do anything about ... just eat the damage like a chump....

This reminds me of the old-as-fuck counter-argument to fungal ... where if you can't counter the spell then why does it exist?








... not to mention the radius is wider than Oracle's E-penis

O. It's still best chance to beat skytoss, no? Like 5 broods(to screw up templars and kill buildings), 30+ corruptors, rest infestors and vipers(it takes ~5 shots from tempest to kill 1). I guess hydra instead of corruptors would fail cuz storm.

Well they don't have anything else, and since majority of protoss army will be blind they should do great. It takes about 5 shots from tempest to kill a viper and infested terrans help corruptors. Someone should try it on unit tester.

Zerg can go viper hydra and be aggressive before Storm/skytoss gets out of control.
