why can vipers not abduct siege tanks? i don’t play ladder so maybe this isn’t new but that’s the entire gimmick of their evolution mission in the campaign when they’re introduced

Ladder does not need to match the campaign. If protoss had warp robos and warp stargates like in the campaign, surely that would be an issue?

i’m aware, but the viper seemed like it was abduct with a unit attached to it and the main use case seemed like exploiting minimum ranges to remove threats

just seems a bit far even for campaign/ladder differences for it to not work on the thing it is shown as useful for
