What Blizzard doesn't want is to reward more turtling in the game, which would occur if they received an outright damage buff. Instead they wanna increase mech-viability thourhg the Cyclone (at least this is a buff mid/early game). Hellion > Speedlings, but losses to Roaches/Spines. Cyclones < Speedlings, but counters Roaches/Spines. W/ regards to Siege Tanks, Blizzard wants you to turtle less with them, and instead harass with them in the early/midgame. During engagements, your Siege Tanks will be even stronger - but only with proper micro - as you need to pick up Siege Tanks with medivacs. So mech definitely seems buffed here, however, I do agree that Siege Tanks could receive a very late game upgrade as I think they will fall off when you have like 6+bases. | ||

LOTV looks like League of Legends, with all the abilities and gimmicks, looks like Blizzard cares about the numbers of people playing than having a hardcore RTS game. Very disappointing from what Ive seen on-stream. Thank F*** there are other RTS games to play that dont look like super mario brothers. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Blizzard cares about numbers and not some whining elitists opinion? Daed gaem daed company #cut4lotv | ||

When I looked at all of the changes to the beta, it would just make so much sense to me if protoss -especailly vs zerg - got absolutely screwed in the early midgame. One thing they could change really fast is to reduce the infastructure cost of protoss and thereby allow them to get more units out slightly faster (and thus match the unit count of terran and zerg better). This will result in them relying less on forcefields and Msc. | ||

Very disappointing from what Ive seen on-stream. Thank F*** there are other RTS games to play that dont look like super mario brothers. When counting unique unit abilities (like not doubling up on Stim or Cloak) on both starcraft 2 lotv and broodwar, the terran race has 12 unique active abilities in both games. Zerg had equal amounts of abilities during HotS but are now 8 to 7 active abilities in favour for zerg. edit: so far of course, they could always add more units. | ||

◦A slow-moving harassment unit from the Gateway that can use Psionic Transfer. What kind of descrption is this? The focus is on harassment then? Not to fond of that description, protoss need a new core unit or existing units changed. Not to say, there wont be any changes. | ||
