    They decided to give the cyclone the same mechanic as carriers (extended leash range for kiting) but also made the unit fast and you can't do anything to reduce its damage (while you can kill interceptors). I do wonder why this unit is such a mess to balance...

    Shows why marauder was a shit idea in sc 2. I wish he was removed. Wtf is a walking bio tank. Terran bio was all about squishy cheap units.... marauder just ruined the idea in sc2. Same as roach.... everyone now has an early tanky unit. Tho it was a protoss speciality... everyone lost its real identity in sc 2 in my opinion.

    i don't play starcraft 2 but from what i'm seeing from many casts and comparing the unit to other RTS units (it often reminds me of command and conquer bike+buggyrush or missile IFVs) the cyclone feels like a weird light/medium tank you pick before you go into heavy mech with siege tanks and or thors it also feels like being the mechvariant/alternative to marine+marauder but seems to lack some resilience is it just me or anyone else feel like SC2 terran feeling like the bastardchild of GDI and NOD ... hhmmmm or more like allies and NOD?

  • @LUX711

    The story of terran race as a whole = marines are best unit in game pound-for-pound💯 As a result, ALL other Terran units get nerfed more & more every patch 😂🤣while Zerg & Toss get minor buffs every patch and Terran gets absolutely no buffs

  • @Sir_Tomoyuki
    @Sir_Tomoyuki 10 годин тому

    I'm kind of surprised Gumiho wasn't mentioned, because as Artosis and Tasteless point out, the Cyclone is the Gumiho unit. Like, when you think Cyclone, you think Gumiho! Also, love his mech against Protoss in 2018 where he used that 2nd iteration of Cyclone to beat two Protoss (Classic and Dear). Rather, he used mech to beat them in Neon Violet Square, but yeah.

  • @Lanzetsu
    @Lanzetsu 10 годин тому

    I love the Cyclone, to me the unit right now works as an Anti Cheese unit for Stargate or weird Proxies (instead of going for fast Viking/Widow Mine) and works well with Hellions or even alone as a Mech centered army for scout/harass but not really well on big engagements (depending the enemy composition tho). It also works as the Sniper of the Mech army vs some massive units

    I really don't like Cyclones. For me this unit looks like it is conflicting with a lot of things. First of all, if they wanted good AA to terran, they should have just bring back Goliath. If they want kiting unit, there already was Diamondback from WOL. They already had those two beautiful units and could give us both, but instead they just made an abomination by putting existing AA turret on Helion wheels. Even now Cyclone is struggling to find it's place. Swan in co-op has both Cyclones and Goliath and they just don't get along well. Just imagine how good will look like terran tech army consisting of Helitrons, Goliathes, landed Vikings and Thors. Full mecka.

  • @nightmareTomek
    @nightmareTomek 11 годин тому

    I disagree completely. I don't think some mobas or the game being too hard or some scandals were the downfall of SC2, and kinda tired when people spread this opinion. It's the gameplay and balance and design choices that drove players away. When I look at Broodwar on Artosis' channel, each match is entirely different, something new is happening all the time. It also feels way more strategic despite having way less units. SC2 feels like maps don't matter because the deathball can close the distance all at once through one pathway anyway, so there's no point in choosing one pathway over the other. The game has too many escape mechanisms, units can poke, do damage and retreat in time with enough micro, so there's no reason to actually have fights, it's really just poking and retreating the whole game long. It has too much emphasis on backstabbing into mineral lines instead of fighting over map areas. So only fast units are built, too. Making mistakes is a lot more punishing due to how quickly everything moves and dies, you look away at the wrong moment and your mineral line is gone. And due to how explosive the economy is, it feels like Need for Speed on 16x speed. And too many chores. All in all it's too hard to do anything before being maxed, by the time you cross the map the opponent has 2x as much, and if you mess up macro or these chores you're horribly behind economically. These things in combination just cause every game to be exactly the same, since around Heart of the Swarm released. And people are bored. When their wishes were completely ignored during Legacy of the Void beta a lot of players just dropped the game. I did, too. The game is garbage, it's not designed to be fun. I wish, now that Blizzard is owned by Microsoft, that they start some action on Starcraft again. They could make SC3 with the SC2 engine, just rebuild the races from the ground up with having these pitfalls im mind.

    Honestly if you've seen the new queen vs cyclone openings you'd probably dislike the changes instantly. Yes it's "back and forth micro" but it's not fun to watch or play.

  • @disieh

    4.7.1 cyclones are my favourite as well. They made TvT so fun. Strong way to deter drops, BCs and rushes plus they were tanky enough to do the proper mass cyclone meming. I'd say the current cyclone is bit like viking, strong against its intended targets but bursts into flames way too easy. I guess balance council succeeded in one aspect, it combos well with hellions and banshees so there's a midgame composition that works decently on some maps.

      Why? SC2 terran had inaccessible, strong anti-air options. - Vikings: You'll have to spend more on doing Air upgrades, even though air is not your main build - Thor: Too expensive and slow to be effective despite being powerful, air units would simply avoid them through high mobility - Cyclone: Requires lock-on gimmick, which most casual players don't bother - Goliath: Versatile and fairly priced, with a mediocre ground attack and a strong anti-air attack. It's just right.
