The range is pretty big and you can basically oneshot colossi and the mothership like this. No need for corrupters anymore if you can pull the colossi directly in the center of your roach hydra ball. The tech is early enough that you can make them as soon as you see the robo. It also looks stupid on big units, but I guess that's just taste. it would be OP if it is on lair tech. but since it is hive tech the toss can easily have colossus and HT which outrange vipers. and the colossus are in back of stalkers so its up to microwars and positioning which is why the viper is a really great unit for the dynamics of zvp. | ||

Describe a realistic situation in which this 'nibbling' occurs and is worth more to me than 2x(number of SH) hydra or 3x(number of SH) roaches or (number of SH) infestors. | ||

If you played the custom map or if you played as the mech Terran yourself vs competant protoss players that know how to play against mech you'd already know that the protoss ends up with 3-4 robos and stargates for void rays for mass immortals/chargelot as well as to utilize void rays to skew the mech player's unit composition to include vikings/thors which is bad for the mech Terran player. This will become even better with the new tempest. So basically what i'm saying is, you and everyone else that's saying "OMGWAT WILL WE DO!" really don't understand how the game will develop and you probably have no clue at all how to currently play against mech in WOL if you're making uninformed statements like "1 robo would not be enough." As said above, you and probably 99% of the player population literally have no idea how to play against mech with SC2 protoss, because Protoss rarely sees it. I havnt seen it outside a small handful of mid/low master terran games, it just doesnt seem to happen at all, but my point was mainly focused on the dilemma with current mech being very slow, tanks being 2.25 speed and having siege mode, thors being 1.88, hellions beaing far weaker, mech being a more turtly and immobile army, if you move out with pure mech before the 10 minute mark under any circumstances you are probably going to get crushed, but in contrast, the HOTS mech involves a bunch more hellions than i think most people would build in WOL, backed up with Warhounds, which are 2.81 speed, overall the new mech army in its most powerful form will be extremely mobile, and suited for quite early timing attacks maybe with scv pulls or something, and it seems very dangerous to go air or multiple robos in time for a 6-9 minute timing or something along those lines. What do you think? I know you have more experience and ability than most in this area | ||

Please tell that to top korean terrans, they need to know. Avilo everyone hates you for a reason. So just shut the f*ck up. User was warned for this post | ||

Oh I though it still was on lair tech, we'll see then. Does anyone know if blinding cloud prevents spells as well? If not then yeah it seems balanced. | ||

That way SH's actually can 'nibble' in small numbers from a direction other than right in front of the enemy's main army. Then it starts really overlapping with the brood lord, they like units with unique and simple restrictions so I doubt that would happen. | ||

Would you trust the current game design team at Blizzard to balance a unit with an ability to generate infinite quantities of cliffwalkers? So that it's useful but not OP? | ||
