This thing is in charge of Malaysia. |
I suppose I should explain how the unit works. It fires a laser that is locked on to a target and does a little damage twice a second or so and slowly charges up. Once it reaches level 3 charge, the laser goes supernova and starts fucking shit up. I went up against a bunch of Vikings (terran anti-air Void ray counter) and absolutely murdered his entire fleet while losing maybe two of my own. The problem with these units is that scaled infinitely with more of them since flying units don't have collision and there projectiles had instant travel time. Vikings shoot rockets at the rate of about one every one and a half seconds. That means that if all your vikings shoot one unit, it will get insanely overkilled and you essentially waste damage. Not so with the Void ray, they just melt one unit and quickly switch to the next.
Thanks to this unit, we got closer to 70% win ratio and made a lot of enemies. I can't count how many times I was bitched out while burning a base because I'm using an effective strategy.
As an aside, fuck marines, overpowered piece of shit marine *grumblegrumble*.
Yea VRs have been OP for a while now, but you still need a decent mix to make em work really well.
ReplyDeleteI wish my computer could run this game..
ReplyDeleteYeah, they are too overpower, need to change strategy...

ReplyDeletePlaying at bronze league, so noob speaking but for some reason feels like over 80% of my games are agaist same race I play with, even when I change it. Got so frustrated with that game because of this.

ReplyDeleteI got Starcraft 2 about 2 weeks ago and to be honest I haven''t used the Protos class yet, I used Terran at first but now use Zerg very effectively. I will be sure to try this out thanks!

ReplyDeleteVoid Ray rushing is the best you can do in sc2
ReplyDeleteThe problem with marines is that the straight counters for them are either tier-III units (Colossi) or they're difficult to micro (Infestors/Banelings).
