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. | ||

The build time is reasonable enough to allow your opponent to dodge and the radius isn't that large. | ||

They are for pre-building, not placing in front of enemy. Also stasis ward can be used just as vision ward, they stay forever so just turn off their detonation. Another trick - place them on base and turn off, detonate when drop fully unloaded. And one more trick - place stasis wards at places where enemy will try retreat, i.e. during deathball fights. | ||

And what was the goal of the carrier buff? Will it actually be used now? | ||

And what was the goal of the carrier buff? Will it actually be used now? it's really interesting tactical buff to him. You can throw all interceptors and go back with carriers, but at same time you nullifying carrier cargo, making him defenceless, if enemy leaves the place where interceptors are flying | ||

Fully upgraded lings vs fully upgraded Ultra: Ultra can kill 300 lings still having half HP. You need 689 lings to kill the Ultra. He can also kill 34 Marines. I think Terran needs to go Mech vs Zerg. You need some serious Firepower to pierce that Armor. Maybe even Tanks might need a buff to armored. Marauders also get crushed easily now with the x2 Attack. Parasitic Bomb seems to only affect air Units. Colossus included. Against Vikings it does not seem to be that useful, you can just land them. Of course there should not be a ground Army nearby  . | ||

Theres no way this could happen in a real game scenario. But there could still be a situation where someone maybe tries to remax on pure lings to overwhelm his opponent. And when he rans into 2 or 3 Ultras he will have a bad day. But Ultras will be more powerful against Marauders too. He did let a single Ultra fight against 10 or so Marauders and they got shredded. This was without micro to be fair. Marauders might still be okay if you do some kiting but they won´t be as good as they are now. I can easily see 4-5 Ultras making short work of a decent sized Marauder Force. | ||

It is worth noting that it is basically impossible to remax on pure lings (it's even hard to do it on half lings, tbh), since it requires 100 larvae stored up in advance. Remax is generally Roaches or other units with 2+ supply. | ||
