And I hate the turret reversal. Guess early game will be more coinflippy once again. Yeah personally I feel as though all these changes make the game feel like heart of the swarm again. This is taking a step back in someway in every change except for the liberator. | ||

2)Having the Starport as a "strategy" is retarded. The combined upgrades makes sense because we have no fucking reliable anti air on the factory, like the Goliath, but have to use Vikings. A great start with LOTV ideas, turns more and more in to the same lack of vision we have been accustomed to. | ||

[*]Missile turret build requirement changed back to engineering bay the only change that made me look forward to lotv is gone  great, now we will see terrans dying to oracles or DTs because they guessed wrong again. | ||

No more economy experimentation? No Adept or Disruptor or Cyclone tweaks? No Warp Gate proposals? Where is the actual.....beta design chances? O__o | ||

I really really fucking hope we don't have it be like the last expansion when it was just WoL + New units. Sorry this is blizzard we're talking about. At this point i'll be surprised if it isn't just HotS + new units. | ||

O__o This is Blizzard's idea of "massive design changes" I guess. Minor unit tweets and a new unit. I'm so disappointed right now. If there is no more warp gate change I will probably not buy LotV, that shit needs to be nerfed into oblivion. | ||

In terms of these changes I really wish there was more experimentation being done. I guess once we see the new unit in action we can make a better judgement but this patch just seems underwhelming It also sounds like the liberators attack (or is it an ability) is a really weak version of the mothership ability planet cracker that never made it past alpha in WoL | ||

With how fast minerals are obtained relative to gas you end up with a surplus of minerals and building a missile turret becomes an easy obvious, blind decision rather than something reactive. Free missile turrets narrows down the early game options even more than the 12 worker start already does. We want more options not less. are you serious? do you know how limiting the threat of proxy oracle is to terran buildorders? i thought i could do something else in lotv than opening every game reaper expand into either widow mine drop or 3 rax but it seems like DK likes to see terran being pigeonholed into the same two openers every game. | ||

I think they are right now only trying to patch in the liberator, that's why the changes aren't that massive. Still disappointing. So far we have had a few experiments, half of them reverted + new units. I think there is going to be more stuff, but I doubt there is going to be much meaningful experimentation coming. | ||
