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 it's to make the immortal less hardcountery to mech, but the implications for PvZ remain to be seen. If you activate he barrier while 3-4roaches (or more) are targetting it, it immidiately becomes a buff. | ||

Yeah it should make Colossi snipes easier and a-moving a bit more dangerous. So players that are more careful will be rewarded and we might possibly see even more colossi into warpprism micro since the warpprism buff makes it really easy to save units. But it's honestly just too early to tell. Still think it was because of Lurkers that will have 9 range with the upgrade. | ||

If the Ravager will be ok vs bio it will be really OP vs Tanks. I mean bio can dodge shots but tanks will be massacred due to not being able to be moved in time. And no, I really doubt the Terran can afford to have 10+ medivacs to fast pick up tanks when going mech. I really hope that I am wrong on this point but it seems the Ravager will hard counter tanks worse than what the immortal ever did. | ||

I think 3 or so will be good enough to pick up targeted tanks. | ||

I can still see few colossi being relevant in the lategame because they add some strong amove damage vs ground. | ||

This will actually make dodging mine shots with stalkers using blink much, much more accessible for the general population - you still have to time the blink right, but you remove the strict requirement of starsense, as in the high level of battlefield awareness, to pick the right stalker. It's neat. | ||

We don't know everything about the Ravager yet. B.) Zerg's response to mech has always been to go into swarmhosts. Now that those have been completely remodeled, the way that Zerg handles mech will have to be as well. I'm very intrigued as to what people will come up with. | ||

I mean, I think it's a cool idea, but I'm not saying it should be a part of the game. And out of curiously, whose micro does it take away? I had a hard time understanding your comment. | ||

If bio dodges your disruptor with splits or medivac you could lose 300 gas unit for basically nothing. I am afraid that in lower leagues it will be a worse version of storm. If your opponent isn't looking at his bio for one second it could be completly destoyed. | ||

I am thinking double immortal drops where you can drop both immortals, and when 20 roaches move in to attack it, you can basically activate the shield to absorb the first volley of shots, get an extra shot off with the immortal, before picking it back up into the warp prism. Also I think blizzard said they were changing the game clock to match real life. is this 3 seconds 3 current seconds, or 3 real time seconds. | ||
