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.

Don't build up too much hype, you will get dissapointed..... Atleast I am with these changes. I'm not gonna sell myself short here just by these beta change notes, but realistically with the major problems sc2 has right now, I expected more drastic actions. Lazy expansion. I really hope it will be good though, still not lost all hope.

It doesn't matter if no one can reach it but it's always good to add more micro possibilities.

Maybe I'm just lazy? I don't want to micro that much. When I was younger, I really enjoyed micro in WC3. But now I want to focus more on broader strategy like positioning.

So far, 12 feels like a good starting point for us, but we wonder if we can increase this even further without affecting early game choices too much.


=\ Please no.

Also, I guess there is no changes to slowing down battles...

I like how they consider the real-time timer a "feature".

The only 2 things that worry me here without ability to play the game is that majority of maps will have to be deadwing-sized to not run out of money 30 minutes in. And that adept sounds like worse blink stalker.

What does everyone think of the adept?

I think it's still too similar to the blink stalker. I dunno, both are ranged teleporting gateway units even if you tweak them a bunch.


I'm a little worried about that as well, although it's nice to see that Blizzard already knows about this potential issue right out of the gates. Between the stalker and the adept and the battlecruiser (and the mothership core?), it seems that Blizzard is becoming pretty blink-happy, regardless of the range of the teleport lol.

Quite frankly, I'm just happy that the adept is a ranged unit coming out of the gateway, so it may have decent micro potential against bio and slow lings in the early game. I just don't know what it can offer that a squad of blink stalkers can't already accomplish.

I didn't think so at first, but reading SGTK, I am getting the feeling the ward may be a bit WoL fungal growth-ish, wouldn't it be a bit cooler if it more overtly referenced stasis in BW?

There will always be the avilo niche. You'll find a way. But rewarding quick thinking and action is a good direction. It makes the games more intense and more exciting to play (and hopefully watch).

30 seconds? Seriously? xD
This one has to be a typo, right? xD

More abilities that take away micro


I don't care about that, tbh. But 30 seconds in realtime is just... ridiculous? Isn't it? :o


How long was BW stasis field?

This adept unit is cool but it doesn't make sense to me from a competitive play perspective.

I'm not seeing Blizzard's perspective here that adding more spells/abilities to units will equal more micro and therefore entertaining games. Adding more buttons to press doesn't necessarily add complexity or entertainment, it feels tedious and certain spells don't add challenge or make engaging or retreat nearly impossible.

OK so Terran really gets the worst additions. Cyclone looks fun but looks heavily nerfed compared to alpha. Except for Siege Medivac play, there isn't really anything new and exciting showcased here. BUFF GHOST PL0X!

Protoss and especially Zerg MOTHER OF GOD PLEASE INVITE ME

I PLAY RANDOM INVITE ME T_____T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
