    My fan theory: Terran upgrades aren't 'researched' and the units don't find new equipment while roaming the map. The upgrade is just the staff officers routing the task orders allowing their use. When the commander signs it off, magical new ammunition/armor/totally-legal-performance-enhancing-drugs appear!

      @@Sirwastealot Exactly. Engineering Bay has to confirm receipt and inventory all their shields. Environmental needs to sign off on an assessment that additional depleted uranium in ammunition won't harm the local critters. Finance chief must confirm that you're not using minerals earmarked for sustainment to procure new shields. Medical is required to have a certain amount of supplies on hand to fix all the marines who OD on their new drugs. Obviously the level 1 upgrades have been delegated to the Operations Chief; that's why they're quick. The level 3 ones need flag officer approval and probably a few sets of Powerpoint charts. All the wonderful things that happen inside a command center. 😉

    If spellcasters had only one spell they'd be the definition of one-tricking. They'd be countering one thing and have zero use otherwise. Vipers pull in Thors, so then you just mass Marines and they become totally worthless.

    • @LanceFehr
      @LanceFehr 2 года назад +1

      Yeah, 3+ spells definitely makes them a more diverse unit. Most of them are quite expensive too. You still want spellcasters to be a worthwhile investment. If they had less spells they'd become a lot less useful individually and more supply heavy in general. Simple isn't always a good thing.

  • @fabianschultz
    @fabianschultz 2 года назад

    Well, terran and zerg only have 2 real spellcasters at. I think because of that it’s ok. Protoss is more or less based on abilities. Colossus, archon and tempest being the only units without ability (well, maybe carrier depending on how you look at it). But even there you have only like 10 abilities to look out for and they all are pretty basic. I mean there‘s LoL e-sport as were you have like 30 or 40 different active abilities in a match out of over 500 which are in the game afaik.
    I think sc2 is pretty manageable once you see it a few times

    @SalvaBarbus 2 года назад

    To add to your comment of "the spellcasters have too many spells", some of these spells don't even come up at all during certain match-ups. Hell, let's take the ravens as an example, because it feels like they don't come up at all ever in TvZ or TvP (or, at least, from what I've been watching). Thus, keeping up with which spellcaster has what spell can get even more complicated.

    Considering that most spell casters can't actually attack they need to have at least 2 spells to be justifies Imho with 3 spells being solid if all the spells are somewhat niche. Now spell casters with an attack like the Ghost or Queen, I can see only having 1 spell solid on them. P.S don't tell the Protoss that their casters can attack as neither the High Templar nor Sentry are particularly viable as an attacking unit, unlike the Queen or Ghost.

    i like the ideal of two spells per spellcaster it would def make it more followable would they just get rid of some spells on the current ones so like no missile on ravens or no fungal on infestors or create another unit to use them on and maybe add a second ability to them because i feel if u dont add a second one the unit would kinda just not be worth building lots of fun theory crafting with that

    Didn't matter in the end, but I still think that was a huge mistake not just charging forward after wiping Maru's 3 tanks - Cure absolutely could have either charged up the ramp and gone after the production, or just unseige his tanks and move in to force the Orbital to lift off.

    Disagree about the casters having 1-2 spells. They are spellcasters w/ heavy gas cost, I think normal units having 1 ability makes sense. Also by having 3 we get really neat meta strategies that take a long time to figure out. Often only 2 spells of a caster are worthwhile against a given race so having 3 is really more like having 2 vs some race combinations.
