[quote]Your proposed change would make it have to be a mine, aka, make it less versatile, and it would probably still end up being a rarely used unit.[/quote]

Having to be a mine allows it to be a good mine. Currently it's a really bad mine on top of a really unstable sixty second one-trick cheese-pony.

There are also some underspecified details in my proposal. For example, *what* kind of mine? I think that those leeways should allow it to be made versatile enough to be used more often. For the scouting role, for example, the mine could have decent LOS.

Of course, there are units in ZK that are potentially good but still not used often - like Imp in cloak 1v1.

[quote]Gunships are really vulnerable starts in 1v1 and the first 60 seconds of blastwing magic is necessary to compete with them. All your stuff costs a fortune and you need to set back your opponents econ enough to stay on an even footing.[/quote]

The magic you talk of is dispelled by one correctly placed Picket -- but only if the opponent places it preemptively. This is essentially pregame RPS. I find that pregame RPS is a bad way to build factory balance.

I think that the current blastwing does not have enough damage against mobiles to be a real option to harm invading pieces of AA, so you are reduced to trying to swarm them with Gnat+Locust.

Being able to trip them with a mine!Blastwing could possibly provide this defensive option and thus make Gunships starts easier to stabilize in a different way.

I
am
a
bit
frankly
terrified
of
something
that
is
quite
directly
a
flying
puppy.
But
this
could
also
be
interesting.
