[quote]I'm not sure it'll be easy to balance it in a way that stops it from dominating early and being useless late. The comparison made here by USrankDrascalicus applies to the late game where it is indeed fairly pointless.[/quote]

I don't see a particular *need* for Sparrow to be good in the late game, as long as it fulfills its purpose for the game as a whole.

A
similar
idea
applies
to
some
other
common
balance
comments.
Phoenix
and
Raptor
are
not
particularly
strong
units
in
a
lot
of
situations,
but
they
do
fulfill
a
purpose
(
early
game
raider/skirmisher
control
and
late-game
air
control
respectively)
.
[spoiler]There
is
a
case
for
buffing
Raptor
anyway
though.
In
my
experience
with
proper
control
it
is
not
as
bad
a
late-game
unit
as
the
forum
might
have
you
believe
-
but
you
can
still
often
get
by
with
the
same
cost
in
Swifts,
and
outside
of
a
static
late
game
Raptor
gets
absolutely
pantsed
by
Swift.

Similar comments might arguably also apply to Limpet, Ripper and Mistral.

The other common reason why an apparently underpowered unit might not be buffed is that the game might frequently become degenerate if the unit in question was more cost-effective. The poster-child for this concept is Moderator. It may also apply to Racketeer, Dominatrix and Nimbus.
