How about stop talking as if you knew what "the community" likes. Colossus is a great unit. It forces the opponent into doing things, i can actually win a game.
If you wanna talk about a shitty unit, take the void ray. All it does is force a lol of the opponent.
War is not about who is right, but who is left.

The name of the red player belongs to a bronze league player from the NA server. Don't know if that makes it legit or not. No players on the Chinese server are known to use that ID but obviously in hots it would be new profiles anyway.

The collosus should definitely have been completely redesigned. Its a stupid boring unit.

It was 60 (10dps) against massive, 45 (7.5dps) against anything else. So it's buffed against non-massive.

for the love of god

i will not buy hots if this dumbfuck unit stays in

You're upset that 4 capital ships don't die to 5 phoenixes and a stalker? Try putting 4 BCs or 4 Carriers in the enemy base and see if 5 phoenixes and a stalker can do anything about it.

Hmm, good point. I liked the new look of the queen, maybe single player only?

if it was collectors edition, wouldn't there be a special model of a unit for every race? or not? I've only heard of the queen getting updated

It was actually even more complex than that. The arbiter tribunal didn't require the fleet beacon, but it required the templar archives. You basically had to go down 2 tech paths to get them, which ensured that you couldn't rush them out for an OP timing attack before detection.

An extremely easy fix I think would be to make the cloaking ability a cheap upgrade at the fleet beacon, which would definitely create enough of a delay.

Edit I'm stupid.
however, its not really a buff besides the tempests shots now are less valuable in terms of opportunity to make a shot...what I mean is a faster attack with similar dps means you will get more shots in and debatably do more damage

to be fair, the CE for terran only altered the thor.

Ah, well I'd still like it to stay in so hopefully they will put it as a further branch down the tech tree or keep it in some way.

I approve of most of the changes. Oracles having comsat sweep is a little goofy though, but I can see how it would have the same relationship as mule/ comsat, since the scan energy you would have rather used on a mineral block.
