I just can't see a scenario where that's a good game design choice. It would shut down zerg's production completely. | ||

Nexus being able to bring home an entire army? Viper dragging any unit towards it? MOVING BURROWED BANELINGS? I don't see how that even works And did the really remove the carrier? How can they even do that D: | ||

- can cast 3 spells, a dark swarmish spell with small AoE called Blinding Cloud. I was using this on Zatic's tank/battle hellions before i realized that this was a bad idea. wait why is this a bad idea o o | ||

To me we just seem worse off than we already are against.. everything. Our new units arn't exactly overwhelming in comparison. Aoe air unit? I've never actually found myself in a situation where that could be useful if the opponent had the faintest idea how to spread out their units in some fashion. The thor was bad against mutas, so they gave the anti air attack to protoss. The overseer was bad so they gave it to protoss? | ||

Oh man... some of these new units/abilities really make me shudder. I hope like almighty fuck that I'm wrong; but I have this sense of doom... I fear HotS will be full of gimmicky crap that detracts from the RTS aspect of the game and makes it feel more like WoW, with all it's blocks, stuns, pulling units, preventing action from being taken, and surprise attacks from nowhere. | ||

The cloud as I understand it makes all ranged attacks melee. So think of tanks that can fire point blank  Not the dark swarm cloud I was hoping for But at least its something. | ||

That dark swarm ability combined with banelings is just going to be imbalanced... Dark swarm was only balanced in starcraft 1 because Lurkers had to burrow. Can't say im looking forward to activision ruining the game. Did you know you get an acheivement for watching a replay or losing a game? | ||

They still have a year before the expansion goes live. That said - I really do feel zerg needs a passive detection besides spores. I may be thinking out loud here but I think if creep tumors had detection it would be an awesome way to giving zerg the detection it needs early/mid game without having to go directly to this new unit and wasting energy. It would also fit with the whole "spread the creep! Own the map!" kind of logic. | ||

Tanks and hellions primarily use splash as their damage, not the ability to kill one unit at a time really quickly like the marine, so dark swarm doesn't make a significant difference at all. It's dark swarm for sure but think of trying to pull that off when the terran had tanks and firebats only. Edit: I DON"T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT OOOOOPS | ||
