I feel like blizzard added in a bunch of A units that seem very one dimensional at first. Ilike the warhound, 1a2a3a

the oracle is just 1a

I feel like a lot of the units that they added in are pretty boring

The contrast would be the new hellions, those units have lots of versatility and different unit pairings that could added to the game.

Thinking about the tanks becoming obsolete feels so odd to me, but it seems like thats were the game is heading.


have you watched streams yet? tempests are kiting units not 1a units.

With 22 range?

You need to kite?


I'm picturing David Kim in an interview saying "we felt like the Colossus was too hard to use for lower league players, requiring too much positioning and even a supporting army for it. So we gave the tempest 22 range, now you can park it in a random corner of the map and it's going to shoot everything without you having to do anything at all".

Looks like wol with extra bullshit.

Will not buy, or just for single player...

Going to buy for single player just because I wanna see how they fuck up the ending to the franchise.

If you don't like the game you shouldn't buy. That will get a message across.

Buying and bitching over and over on TL won't.

sounds like HOTS has potential and will be a positive step in "emulating" some of the better aspects of Brood War

hopefully they dont fuck it up and listen to good feedback

Hmmm I wont go back to SC2 unless I hear only positive reviews and seeing Blizz heading to the right direction. Currently, its just the same old stuff, just rehashed. Nothing good enough to pull me back in.

Not sure why everyone has such a problem with 1 a units, I mean I understand the fundamental problem behind it if you arguing for a skill based game..... but most of the units in the game are 1 A units, its nothing new. You will micro a warhound exactly like non-blink stalkers, hydras, roaches, colossus.... and if you arguing for a a non micro'd scenerio 1a, you could say that zealots, lings, mutas, banshees, and every other unit without an ability is "1a"

The whole argument of 1a being bad is flawed for me, especially since its one of terrans only units without a special ability to make it more effective, yet both other races have several non ability "1a" units.

disclaimer: Im not arguing that stim is hard to do or anything, or that you wont use movement/surround micro on said "1a". I am just saying that its no different than most units in the game right now and if you are arguing it shouldnt exist, then there are a few units in the game that shouldnt exist also.

Yes, clearly anything not from Brood War is bad.

With that logic, I think they should replace Phoenixes with Scouts. Clearly since BW units > SC2 units, everyone will be in favor of this obvious "upgrade".

The unit itself is actually kind of cute and nifty in a nifty little way, if that makes any sense to you. Pretty fun to use, and it's like having a semi maphack o.o

Observers...
Anyway I like hots so far from what I've seen but I didn't get in. Why didn't they just give grandmasters and highmasters beta keys and forget about everyone else ?

I can see it being fun to use, but it doesn't look like fun to play against :[ I could be wrong.
