    In my humble amateur mind, I think the voidray first is something Hero has been doing a lot the last couple of months. I believe it is to try and counter Serral, who has an amazing ability to be able to scout what his opponent is doing better than any other player, and then always be ready to smash whatever the opponent is doing.
    Game 1 here, DRG is basically playing blind the whole game. 6 adepts shows up, does not have enough lings, builds 24 lings, no followup, basically could have been at least 6 drones instead. All game, trap is on the edge of the creep, poking, DRG has no idea if a +1/blink timing is coming, or whatever it is, as he is blind. He is always overreacting a bit to late and never getting the droneadvantage that we usually see zerg being able to get.

    So I've been thinking about Ultralisks lately, and how they're kind of bad as the game goes on in most cases. What if they came with one more base armour, but Chitinous Plating instead of just giving +2 more armour, instead it reduced bonus and spell damage by, I dunno, 25/33/50%? Would that be too OP? At least Ghosts and Siege Tanks wouldn't annihilate them instantly that way, though technically it would make them a bit weaker to stuff like Marines. What do you think, Lowko?

    • @hivetech4903
      @hivetech4903 26 днів тому

      Typically Ultras only ever make it to +2 carapace, but always want to engage with Plating, so usually have 6 armor. Having one more base armor, +2 but no bonus from Plating means they would engage with 5 armor, getting wrecked by Mauraders. Terran wouldn't need Ghosts. Siege tanks don't annihilate Ultras anyway... not sure what you mean... but they would counter them harder with this change because tanks don't do spell damage. All Protoss units would also fare much better, so this would be a massive Ultra nerf.
