now raven bomb run is kinda unrealistic. it drops bomb and gets much slower... shouldn't it get faster after loosing weight and after half nosedive?
I know there are some things not totally realistic, but that there is gravity :-)
Why not add longer horizontal flight after bomb drop after it goes into climbflight again... and that climbflight would be slower.

I'm not concerned about the realism, but it feels clunky and weird. I'm still in the "nerf ravens" camp, but this particular nerf doesn't really add to the gameplay imo and complicates bombing runs in a weird way. Especially since diving ravens slowing down means they're likely to be in more concentrated clumpes over their target, which is extra bad when dealing with AoE AA.

aoe aa is not the only issue.. anything is now practically aa.. so almost any aoe units and even things like llt can get shots off on raven.. some are devastating.. im doubting a raven can bomb some targets atall any-more.. Faraday, newton, sumo, might be un-bomb-able ,, and some damage units; felon, scallop, boy, panther.. might kill ravens with relative impunity

If this is permanently implemented we need to disable diving against structures (if it isn't already disabled). The only reason for diving is to hit mobiles and pass through shields, although if the shields are placed right then it may still help to dive structures.
Also I'm curious whether newtons pulling a raven down will slow it since of this patch, is it strictly altitude based or does it toggle modes? Although it's probably affected by the newton too much for that to be noticable in that case.

even if newton does pull raven into a slower mode.. it will like you say.. be moving faster because of newton then it normally would.. but on repel it may not move fast enough to resist a newtons push and may not be able to bomb a newton at all

Raven already doesn't dive for statics. This includes units who are too dumb to utilize their free costless movement ability power technique.

The whole Shadow nerf is a case of "Instead of adjusting numbers, why dont we add an unnecessary stupid gimmick that only creates more problems".

Goog could readjust the weights of Phoenix and Shadow, or he could adjust the rearm time, or just adjust the costs/damage/HP. But nope, lets give it some dumb special behaviour instead.
