| SD 10-minute countdown is triggered by only 2 teams remaining present in the game. This unfortunately does not apply to afk people that stay on the "Defeat!" screen even though their CC's are destroyed. If a destroyed team does not leave the game, the SD timer will never kick off, thus SD ... |

| Agree! Immortals are still the only viable non-air counter to VoidRays. Mutas are the air-based counter and do quite well 1:1, but unless you have an Odin, all other ground-based mercs are GG if someone goes VRs. If you have an Odin and the VR player gets a Phoenix, then you're still likely countere... |

probably little more hp per ups, but don't make it scales like elite
Perhaps this is the most simple solution? Just take off the insane scaling that merc-marines have? |

| I think better way to make SD faster is to make tower and middle income more. Say past 2 hour mark it's 1000minerals a minute in mid and 500 minerals each tower. I like the idea, but perhaps we can step it up incrementally? I.e. every 10 minutes the income increases by $100 per location held? This ... |

| Just to outline, here is what the cost structure looks like. Basis here is that you're dropping 5 pods per use: Use 1 (100, 110, 120, 130, 140) - Total cost = $600 -Cost on merc drops today = $750/drop ($150*5) so first drop is cheaper Use 2 (150, 160, 170, 180, 190) - Total cost = $850 Use 3 (200, ... |

| Fata, you're comparing apples to oranges. Does Air have counters and soft-counters? Yes, and as an individual unit, the VR's soft-counters are not as effective against them as Spec's soft-counters are against it (IMO). Those counters/soft-counters you outlined ARE effective against the rest of the A... |

| Attack speed and movement speed would help balance them out. If those prove too tricky, I'd go with Micro's suggestion of range reduction. That would force them to move closer and take lots of damage moving in. |

| Here are two more ideas: - Put a timer on each stasis ward, similar to the PDD. The exact timer could be longer, but this will prevent players from stacking their entire base with them. - Cap the number of stasis wards that you can create. After you hit that specific number, creating a new ward wil... |

| Stasis allows turtles to unfortunately turtle better. I've not seen any effective use of stasis outside of a turtle-move (i.e. nothing outside of a base) and it does nothing but prolong a game IMO. While it is countered easily, when combined with base-D, PF, tanks, full turtled-armies, and AU towers... |

| If you give nix a single lift and make it not movable, it'll be destroyed quickly. The other army will focus it down quickly and then you're done. The changes to Nix are rough already. It's usable, but only after level 5, and even then you need to put some health upgrades on it to make it worth whil... |
