| @Bondbrain - Just out of curiosity, have you tried using stasis wards yourself? If so, what have other people tried in order to counter you? If not, maybe it would be a good idea to try it against a strong player and see what they do. I am not saying your ideas are wrong - this is just a good way to... |

| I think nerfing stasis would be fine, it's still a relatively new game mechanic and honestly I wasn't thinking too much about balance when I first implemented it. My personal opinion would be to limit the total number by having it cost a lot more energy (like maybe 75% of the oracle's max energy), s... |

| Other than Tanklings/rines combo there's really no viable melee build at least i have not seen a guy win a match with zealots or reavers or even cracks for that matter for a long time. (Devil Dogs are not melee since they got range in their attack and are a counter to melee units. I'll have to disa... |

| Hi Bondbrain, welcome to the forums! Regarding stasis, I would suggest trying to trigger or destroy the wards with 1-2 units before sending a large group of units into them. Another option would be to use the diamondback's shockwave ability to destroy many wards at once from long range. Regarding me... |

| Interesting idea, couple thoughts: 1. Indirect nerf to marines (and partially to elites/heroes), since people will be getting stronger mercs earlier. 2. Early snowball may be harder to stop (a big part of choosing a counter relies on those 500 minerals you get at 10 minutes). It will definitely incr... |

| Everyone probably already knows my stance on medi, but here it is: I think it's the best designed unit in MA. Pure support unit, adds a lot of variety to engagements and imo is already relatively easy to snipe. It is used very often, but I would say that's because there is no alternative (which is w... |

| Supposedly, you can change the dess stim hotkey from somewhere within the hotkey settings. However, be warned that this will probably break a lot of other hotkeys (for some reason, this happens frequently in custom maps). The stim for marines/snipers not being triggered at once is a bug, and I belie... |

He also complained to Blizzard about everything, including our donation s... |

| I would like to propose a nerf to DT Void Prison vs heroes. This is something I've wanted for years, because it contradicts the role of DT. In my eyes, DT is more of a utility/support hero - intended to freeze the majority of an army to allow your own army a couple of free shots. However, an uninten... |

| As the creator/coder of the Lurker, I feel like I should clarify a few things: 1. The main idea with lurker is that it is not meant to be effective as an a-move unit. It has enough range to hit the enemy while it is under your army, but you get max value by being aggressive/sneaky with it - try atta... |

| After observing their usage more closely, especially in the recent 3-hr scrim, I have been convinced that merc rine scaling is fine; however, it is too spammable, especially in the super lategame. Make merc marines cost 100 minerals, but scale by 10 minerals after each pod dropped. That gives an ear... |

I find that I use them most often offensively during SD - for example, trying to take mid or ending the game when I have a lead. Additionally, I find that if someone is using them fully defensively to su... |
