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. | ||

There's no way this unit makes it out of the first balance patch, it's like a non-flying phoenix with autocast and the ability to shoot hit both air and ground and with longer effective range than a siege tank. | ||

They could rebalance the unit rather than completely removing blizzard style | ||

-Being able to give periodic commands without actually watching the unit? (selecting army and pressing stim, etc) -Units that benefit slightly/significantly from simple move commands/repositioning? (Fanning out to concave, pulling back from the front line, moving past/into the army/surrounding, etc) -Units that benefit slightly/significantly from complex movement commands? (Splitting, magic-box, stutter-stepping , etc) -Units that benefit slightly/significantly from an additional ability? (Blink, burrow, detonate, land, boosters, etc) -What if the unit is otherwise "an a-move unit" but gets a significant boost from drop micro? Just curious what opinions are since this was being discussed a bit. | ||

At blizzcon it looked like it just killed everything, and now it still seems like it's something that basically always works and has no weakness...or it ends up being mediocre against everything, and then it's useless. I believe it's the basic mech anti-air unit we've all been missing. I view it as the missing piece of puzzle that could potentialy make mech viable and hopefully you'll be able to move around map and you won't have to just turtle into 20 Ravens to get a shot at winning the game. | ||

Eh except it really isn't, it does the same thing vs both ground and air, meaning it really it's more of a catch-all unit than a specialized aa unit. It's pretty clear they have no problem with copying bw design for lots of stuff (vipers vs defilers, disruptors vs reavers just to name a few), but in this case the cyclone is nothing like a goliath. And yeah regarding amove units, 1) imo. Best example in sc2 being roach/hydra, zealots and colossi. Immortals aren't really amove units (mostly) because you really want them to be firing at the right targets, but it appears they are since that kind of control isn't really visible at all. | ||
