Hello there dear forum readers,
new patch upcoming: starcraft2 . com / en-us / news / 23159844
Great. Overall I support the patch ideas. Especially reducing some of the ranges EVERYWHERE (to balance it) - tempest , and there fore liberator a bit.
To jump in right here, this is what I am missing for the Liberator Range Nerf:
- A disruptor range nerf. I already posted 2 topics about its range and outranging tanks - and we are talking about pros playing the game aren’t we. Liberators are the natural counter to disruptors (in the supportive matter, mixed army). I feel and expected with the Liberator nerf, the Disruptor really would come with a slight range nerf, too. So please reconsider that.
I am a all 3 races player trying to stay quite neutral.

It doesn’t need a range nerf and it has a range of 13.5 because of the splash radius.
Siege tanks have a range of 13.

Didn’t I mention that? Also knows as outranging… That’s exactly why I made the post. You need Liberators vs Disruptors. Otherwise a pro can outmanage the terran defensive lines. I already made 2 big topics about it - as mentioned - so when I did those how does one think I don’t know what you just posted: I gave actually a live video and screenshot - showing exactly how to do it as protoss, hitting the terran with the splash…
It’s also the other way around.

Didn’t deny it. Both are strong, and the liberator being nerfed… should come with some endgame balance on the other side besides of the mentioned ones.

disruptor has no range. its movement speed and duration of nova. so what do you want? decrease duration or speed?

Of course that’s what it means, range simply equals speed*duration, what ever term you wanna use. Similiar to writing terran here meaning the Race in Sc2 and not Humans on the earth planet on our Real Life System. lol
The details can be anything… I just opened the general topic, how you deliver the damage in a specific range has unlimited ways to be modified/adjusted
okay, then reduce duration. i want buff for disruptors

The Disruptor’s projectile has to deal with terrain, so in most cases the Disruptors cannot actually out-range Tanks.
Furthermore, the Disruptor’s ability works differently from other targeted abilities. Most targeted abilities will not fire until the caster enters range to attack the targeted point, thus whichever point you click is the point where the spell will go off.
The Disruptor’s projectile fires immediately after the click regardless of the Disruptor’s current position. This means that unless the Disruptor is in the exact location it needs to be to reach the targeted point, the projectile will be wasted without reaching that point.
These attributes make it so difficult for Disruptors to outrange Tanks in practice that they usually cannot pull it off.

It’s truee indeed. It’s a difference to use it in a unit tester, than in a live game really.
Anyways, then why do we need “more” range on it than tanks, simply make it the same for gods sake. And give it a small buff elsewhere like ignoring terrain (but the same ground level (meaning it can’t “jump” up) I mean it goes through units, why not through obstacles.
Again gosu players can use these Disruptors quite abusively.
I want to see less “range” however its done. The speed is quite deadly already, so either that or the duration. WIth the “make up” for less “obstacle-block”
Sounds more like tit-for-tat QQ to me.

How would that ever sound like it, its a long time feedback if you read anything here and not based on tit for your khak.
Thanks for the powerful argumentations very constructive.
I don’t buy your “not biased” crap sorry.
Probably because Terran is already pretty bloody strong in TvP. There are literal dozens of viable allins that most Terrans use in the MU to end the game before Disruptors are a major variable, let alone a decent siege line.
So when you’re asking for a Terran favored MU to get buffs because a unit which absolutely screws Protoss over after it’s range upgrade is researched because that research is getting nerfed, it comes across as bias or whinging.
