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. | ||

Or you can defend a drop and send out the shade to have it with your main army instantly. You could defend 2 locations simultaneously with only one unit, so to speak. The terran will have to look for shades running around to see whether the adepts will change positions and will have to be more careful about really dropping simultaneously, and not with a 7 second difference or so. | ||

You can send out the shade, attack the terran army, and then teleport a frigging long distance away from them in an instant.

Except you dont control when you teleport, which makes it quite weak vs drop play. | ||

I think that is an interesting and unique aspect to the unit that the shade has a timer that both players know, so the defending and the attacking player should in theory know where the adept is able to reappear. This also makes it very important at what exact moment you send out the shade. It becomes very useful for Protoss players to know before the battle how it is likely going to go. | ||

Sure, I agree it's interesting, but I don't see this as a particularly storng defensive unit. Rather, I believe it's intended to have strong harass options. | ||

I think making it invulnerable is ok, but it would be interesting if you could still use these abilities against it. Nope. Not affected and not targetable from what I've seen. Really only affected by buildings and terrain. | ||

But even if it won't be as good as the current economy it will still be a lot of fun to develope all the new build orders etc. for the new units I think especially ravagers and cyclones will be really fun to play with and fill holes the races needed. I'm a bit sceptical for disruptor and lurkers though because I don't think we need even more splash damage in the game. If the disruptor ends up replacing the collossus it might be okay but if both remain strong it will be just to much. Banshee, warpprism, immortal, carrier and bc changes are also great. tank pick up, ultra buff, marauder nerf, warpgate nerf and the new viper ability are either dumb or just plain OP and hopefully will not make it into the game. edit: the new terran unit really should be a lategame bio unit. that's the one thing terran needs right now, a viable lategame with bio so they don't play every game on a timer. | ||

Slightly weaker than a Zealot, but with good damage output vs light. They might tune the bounce damage (i'd say to 50%) and the damage a bit to be more standard (lower damage, faster attack), but the unit is very well designed. The only thing I see is that is able to two shot too early maybe, considering that it's ranged, and attacks too slow for an infantry unit. But the concept is amazing. | ||

Marauders are now (5+5)x2 so they're slightly less effective against structures now so cannons may be a bit better. And that is taking for granted that bio will still be the staple in TvP. People really need to let the beta play and simmer for a bit prior to freaking out with theorycraft I would be very surprised if people mech in TvP. Blizzard gave protoss 2 more units that are good at exploiting siege tanks. | ||
