Thanks to Reddit sleuths, everyone can try the LotV test maps by following instructions here. Note: This is not a beta key, it is simply access to Vs. AI and a Unit Tester. I have no idea how cool with this Blizzard is or is not, use at your own risk. | ||

I think you're confused, the Disruptor is a T3 unit, not a T1 or T2 one. Rest assured no one's going to bunker bust you early game with Disruptors. | ||

Dude Protoss early game is gonna be so OP, when they rush carrier/ colossus/ dark templar/ disruptors before stim is finished. | ||

Still, they also wanted to increase warp-in time to 8 seconds, but they didn't talk about that. | ||

We saw that with WoL -> HotS, where people kinda stopped watching anything WoL related aside from the highest level tournaments. Hopefully this LotV makes for less coin flippy feeling games. Maybe tournaments should switch to LOTV as fast as possible. Will the balance be perfect? No probably not, but the balance wasn't perfect at the start of wol either. I think it would work | ||

Imo it's good they didn't go for that, from what I see holding multiple bases sucks enough for Protoss as is, no reason to butcher defensive warp-ins. | ||

A full 60 second forced decloak AND vision? As if Cloaked Banshees and Dark Templar weren't rare enough already. I honestly prefer the WoL days when it comes to Cloak units, atleast there they had an impact. Now the only use is in PvT if Terran gets completely caught off guard. Why must Protoss be immune to Cloak/Burrow units? As for the stasis, this will dominate the early game. Just rush out two Oracles, stasis the mineral line and vaporize anything else. Zerg will have a massive issue as well as you can just stasis the Queen(s) and then melt the Drones. Sometimes I wonder if Blizzard has put the Oracle on some holy status. Disruptors are going to be...interesting if not horribly bunker-busting OMGWTFBBQ overpowered, but we'll have to see. I can already imagine Warp Prism dropping a few of them into a mineral line. You could even time it with stasis expiring for laughs. EDIT: They're a T3 unit? I thought they were T1/T1.5 like Sentries? If T3 it would be more balanced, though Forcefield + Disruptors...scary thought. Terran and Zerg changes look more interesting. For the new Terran unit I am hoping for either a Starport unit that can engage both ground and air or something else to help Mech with mobility and AA. Dropping Tanks is going to be fun to try out, not sure how it'll fare against Zerg in the early game though, could be OP but atleast we get a chance to find out. Not sure about the Swarm Host, more mobility and less siege-and-forget is good but flying Locusts? Hmmm.... | ||

They were always said to come from the robo, so that's never lower than T2 <.< On March 19 2015 03:48 Roadog wrote: "Our drones are under attack!" That's Team Derpfestor isn't it?!
