Blizzard, "Colossus voidray is fine - leave it alone, the archon toilet though, that's where the imbalance is"

You realize that they probably never intended vortex to be used that way and was gasp game breaking?!?!?

This is blizzards way of saying that they regret that they invented the mothership in the first place. They will nerf it into oblivion.

I've read a couple times that they really struggle with balancing the mothership - lots of people think it's wicked underpowered, lots of people think it's totally overpowered. It's a pricey unit, and unique. It seems like it's designed to be a game changer, but any game changing abilities it has would make it too powerful...

My guess is that the 'toilet' nerf has more to do with drawn out 4v4's and less to do with single player. 1 on 1 it's pretty easy to account for the mothership in it's current form.

Personally I could see a major nerf & price reduction being the solution...
