BlizzForge Replay: Raven

The Terran Raven is often overlooked and mistaken to the equivalent of a Science Vessel from the original SC. While many comparisons can be drawn between the two, the Raven stands out in it's offensive capabilities. At the cost of 100 min/ 200 gas you have yourself a flying detector capable of placing mini turrets that do about the same damage as a marine but are much more resilient. Add 150 min/ 150 gas, researching the seeker missile ability, and you have yourself a flying detector that can call mini NUKES from the sky. Add another 150min/ 150 gas researching the seeker missile upgrade and you have yourself a flying, nuking detector that when seen, the enemy force will scramble the hell away from your raven. Oh whats that you see? A group of stacked mutas? Poof... what mutas? O.o. Oh I see you have a booming economy with that nice mineral line going there. Poof...what mineral line? o.O. The raven has one too many uses. A good five Ravens and a ghost with emp can wipe out pretty much any Protoss force. Zerg just have to run in circles until the seeker runs out of fuel, Terran are screwed either way, Marines cant run fast enough, and their mechanical units cannot withstand more than one seeker. All in all I can see the Raven being SEVERELY nerfed in future patches.
