They aren't lair units and never were lair units. In those exhibition matches, Jaedong + Zest had 4 Ravagers while SoO + Polt had like 2 Stalker and 2 Sentries or something like that. | ||

I agree with him, actually. There are balance issues obviously, but even at the relatively low level of the showmatches it's really fun to watch. | ||

Eventually the meta will adapt to the new economy, and protoss will play a lot more defensively in order to secure bases faster, which is likely to stale the game. | ||

The question here is.. Is it fun because it is good or is it fun because it is new? Hots was fun too when it was in Beta and nothing was figured and/or set in stone. | ||

Protoss cannot secure extra bases while investing into harass/offensive units. At least not vs zerg.

Toss is so far from complete that I don't think it's really worth theorycrafting about them. Still one unit coming and I'd be surprised if we don't see changes to stalkers and zealots. | ||

Still one unit coming and I'd be surprised if we don't see changes to stalkers and zealots. David Kim has talked about given them a very early game unit, and I actually think that would be nice, but.... this isn't an issue about unit design. This is a much broader issue which comes down to macromechanics giving protoss a disadvantage relative to zerg while playing a macrogame. There is no way the immobile race (the race which lacks mapcontrol in the midgame) can defend extra bases while still being able to invest the same amount into offensive units. Either you (a) cut bases in order to be aggressive/investing into harass units, or you (b) cut harass/offensive units, and focus on defensive units that are good at securing additional bases and play a more defensive style. The latter is by far the most likely scenario to plan out, as the meta develops. This is really a shame, because some of the new micro interactions in the game seems really fun (Disruptor and Ravager). | ||

The changes to economy is huge, that base depletion rate is crazy fast. It's easy to keep focusing on micro and then you realize the base is close to depleted Its interesting because now I feel like upgrades come too slowly, I wonder if they scale up the upgrade a little as well, especially ability upgrades | ||

You can do the same goofying in HotS too and it's going to look fun.  Though Ravager and Disruptor/Prism looked very fun from a control perspective. | ||
