I mentioned the muta-bomb on the previous page, so yeah, that's that. About the worker harassment issue, I think that it is not much of an issue IMO. The problem why gamers in Starcraft are able to so slow to react to HT/Reaver drops is not because they need to move them twice. It's because these drops tend to occur while you're not paying attention, like when you're engaged in a battle or something. So even if the shuttle is spotted on the minimap, if you're focusing on the battle, then the storm/reaver drop will still occur, and workers will still die. And on instances where they do react early, the protoss counter-reacts by dropping reavers on the path to the expo, hence killing workers while they are moving over. I don't really see the worker saving issue a big problem. ZvZ becoming roach vs roach I think will be something like how ZvZs always end up with lings vs lings or muta/scourge vs muta/scourge. As much as I would like to see SC2 ZvZs involving much more units, and possibly even hive tech, it is because of the restrictions that Artosis and Tasteless mentioned that it'll probably never even make it to muta tech. I don't really see how Blizzard can solve this though. Lastly, on that unlimited (?) unit selection, I think that it'll allow better unit micro during battle, but I heard Tasteless saying that it was really messy. This, we'll have to see more BRs with 200 vs 200 supply battles to see how the unlimited (?) unit selection will take place. | ||

Workers will be easier to pull, but perhaps the way the new harrassing units are used will create an entirely different dynamic. Muta balls will be dangerous, but perhaps even more dangerous units out on the field will change the way mutas are used. I don't think Blizzard wants to create Starcraft 1.5 after all. I'm hoping for an entirely different game in which strategies bear little resemblance to SC. Yeah i don't get this attitude. Why would we want the same mechanics. A whole new game to play with and make new strategies is the whole point isn't it? We don't need stacking mutas, and we dont need other unique SC strategies because this kind of thing will come naturally to a new set of units. If you want all the old features then just play SC... | ||
