Got a beta today and played just 3 matches, one for each race.

Some quick thoughts (first feelings - best feelings):

Terran
- Didn't understood the Cyclone. Kinda strange gameplay.
- Liberator is too strong AG while is too weak AA, very likely to be nerfed/buffed
- So many upgrades! They added about 3 new upgrades and splitted armory upgrades. And it's all after the reduce of resources on the map...

Zerg
- Ravagers are so weak. And their ability is too hard to hit a target, so it's like only effective vs static defences.
- Lurkers are good!

Protoss
- Don't understand Adept at all. It's like a new Reaper.
- Disruptor is good!

Overall
- Don't like the reduce of resources at all! We need more resources, not less!
- Like the 12 starting workers and increased limit given by Nexus/CC/Hatcheries, just feels better

No, that actually makes a lot of sense

Gameplay-wise, it might. Sure it would be nice since solves a big problem of mech and transitioning: having enough firepower. Mech scales very well with damage upgrades, while armor ones are usually less relevant.

However design wise, it seems weird to me. Specially because we could be falling under the same problematic of Mech in HotS TvZ, which is units not being able to scale fast enough to match Mech power. There should be adjustements probably regarding Spire cost and some upgrades in ZvT, but also would demand close attention to PvT, as the matchup is subject to massive transformation with the new changes.

Zerg midgame in LotV is subject to a ton of balance though, since Ravagers haven't found their place, there is discussion around Roach upgrading and Hydras need an urgent rework IMAO that gives them more meat/speed (20-30HP, 1 armor). Specially 1 point of armor would help Hydras a ton vs splash damage and units that commonly shredd them, helping it against improved siege tanks.

I think splitting Mech Armor only could be worth a try. Also making banshees non light like banelings. Only 2 units benefit from Banshees being light, which are Thors and Phoenixes. Terran has liberators now vs air and Phoenix just counters Banshees by default by having more speed and moving shot.

Play more with adepts. They form one of the core units of the toss army currently, they are nothing like a reaper, which has incidental use at best.
