Why in the hell would you give Protoss a scan ability? That's a trademark TERRAN spell, would be the same as giving an cloaked observer to T. Maybe it's not global, then I'll allow it.  | ||

I believe his point is that the observer comes from a different tech patch than the tempest and it'd be not really useful without it. So instead of a high-tech unit requiring another tech path to become useful, this change would allow a unit from the same tech path to fill in. Makes somewhat sense, but still feels awkward. Scan is as Terran-y as it gets. | ||

It doesn't seem like it will work the same way Terran scan does: Protoss will still need to gain regular vision via other means. Note that Preordain doesn't reveal cloaked units anymore Terran Scan with Blink Stalkers or with 22 range Tempest... mmmh that would be tasty :D | ||
