Why is this a bad idea to cast Blinding cloud on tank ?

Also, does anyone know if the creatures spawned from the spawn host are on a life timer like broodlings, or if they are permanent? If they are permanent it seems like they'd be OP, you could just burrow at your base and mass up a swarm of them (they're each better than a zergling).

Well, it can become zerg units and protoss units too...

I just realized that Protoss players wanting the Archon to become massive units has a new downside, because you can't use Replicants to make a whole bunch of cheaper archons (cheaper on gas, anyway, which is the limiting factor).

I dont like Thor change. Thor is my favorite unit in the game. While its true that mass magic box muta kill thors, 6-7 thors can beat any amount of muta.

Hellion can now transform, so firebat is back. Also warhound is added, so we have goliath back. Zerg changes feel the same. I already have SC1, and I can play it anytime, do you dig that Blizzard?

Does anyone think that this reaper regen will make them actual real units?? I do not personally but I hope I'm proved wrong.

Also I'm very wary of the HERO Thor or any hero unit for that matter. Orcs and Night Elves aint in space...

I was wondering, do the swarm host still can use his attack under the blinding cloud? Is it consider a range attack ?

What I think is that reaper is going to be much better in early game harassing vs zerg... Queens alone won't be good enough defence against them, since you can come hit a drone, move back for a few seconds to regen and come finish the drone off.

The new Nexus abilities came from a modded map that was released 6 months ago. The map wasn't even that great.

Please Blizzard don't implement them.

well i'll be replicating ghosts and vipers.... and it would be nice to call down mules after getting an scv for the protoss orbital command.
the only issue i have is the all the protoss units tend to be situational/support whereas the terran ones could be a more massed unit in a normal army comp. zerg tends to be a mix of the 2.

the nexus light cannon requires a gateway so it wont affect doing a cannon rush in the slightest http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=277762 {under edit# 2 new nexus spell}

oh and will it mean the transformer hellions will be able to drop on mineral lines and not be damaged by the cannon cos they become armoured?

i love how they remove the overseer saying its essentially useless and then give it to protoss, admittedly a pimped out version of it, but i can never see people building it for more than a gimmick.

EDIT, realised i was entirely negative so im putting some positives in, i think will make FFE incredibly powerful by the time you get the first gate up. also the tempest will be great as it will shut down muta harrass and make it much harder to take out colossi with corrupters and vikings.
the ability to SEE EXACTLY what a player is building and how far along is pretty damn fine too, and mass recall to nexus should be great a lá kiwikaki vs stephano

Oh yeah and burrowed tunneling banelings. Really??? Personally I don't even think making it a Hive upgrade is really enough to balance out the pure OP, would be surprised if it gets through to final HotS. Maybe if it had like a super slow movement speed? They better make Ravens cheaper...and Toss is even worse off

Wow that Blizzcon crowd is impressive. A lot of those people probably aren't hardcore SC2 competitive followers either. Very cool.

Abduct worries me. If vipers are there to offer one-time detection, they have to be fairly affordable; on the other hand, what's keeping Zerg from massing vipers and abducting all your key units?

I think theyre forcing terran detection for midgame pushes. And protoss has obs before zerg has burrow anyhow. Terran will just have to get a raven out period.

Edit:

I like most of the changes, more harrassment for protoss, 2 new units zerg units that fix the problem that zerg has now. As in either you need to give zerg the ability to play in a way thats safe against everything or give them a way to scout everything (well not everything but you understand what im getting to). So the lurker 2.0 is the first of the two. and the Viper gives zerg the ability to be agressive against turtle terran / turtle toss. I think after balancing out all the new units and everything it will make the game alot better.

I'm fighting the urge to roll my eyes.

Wait no, no I did it. I rolled them.
