For the life of me, I don't remember them changing anything to make it weaker.. its their way of saying yeah we know it's op, but we aren't thinking of doing anything to it. | ||

For the love of god, if they actually think that 1.4 magically fixed both of those, someone is geting fired. Also, I see most protoss engagements having destructible rocks in a beneficial position and in the trailer I think I see a protoss army actually deploying destructible rocks. Did you guys forget about something pertinent to that? Collapsible rocks. Not just protoss, they're "tactically deployed" throughout the map and anyone can use them | ||

Break down the near rocks if they want to be greedy. Since zerg has the lowest amount of "greed" time, this can actually be a huge deal in straight up ground fights. | ||

Oracle + Warp Prism + Sentry harass is going to be hell. Oracles counter static d Oracles force tech switch Sentries block off the choke Warp Prism brings in/warps in units All off of T2 On a side note, I wonder if Oracles are going to force zerg to metagame into multiple tech buildings. | ||

I'm really liking the viper. The grab ability can be used to save hurt ultras or on slow broodlords and queens as well as enemy siege tanks, medivacs/warp prisms or any flying unit trying to escape. Parasite is really cool, give your queens or brood lords detection, it's probably more practical to just use overlords since your armies generally die and if you group up several overlords together, the enemy might not know which overlord can detect. The new dark swarm is awesome. It's really going to make ultras/hydras/swarm hosts viable in ZvT which is a great thing. Terrans units are simply too cool though, makes me want to switch over to terran just to play mech. All the new units are mech based right? AND they still have marauders? :DDDD Battle Hellion seems like a sweet idea to make hellions useful late game which will be great in TvP, again making mech awesome. Then we have the new goliath which is going to own stalkers that makes me wonder why the marauder is still in the game. And the new vulture mine seems so awesome. But is it built by scvs or is it from a factory? if it can be dropped into mineral lines it's going to be devastating. Seems like a cheap way to control space making contains and mech much better. | ||

Zerg
Everybody is already pointing out their lack of meaningful response to 1/1/1 and EMP, I just wanted to point out these two as well. They STILL don't effectively offer a way for Zerg to deal with marines and the only reason Zealots are considered powerful vs Terran is because that means they can't go OMG MASS MARAUDERS! | ||

I think the shredder unit for Terran is not needed (tanks, rines and mini thors anyone??) but looks like a cute mech spider. Reminds me of the Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell. Hell, let it stay for the cuteness!!!! Btw the super Thor... why do Terran need a super unit? | ||

I can just imagine how awesome that dropping shredders in mineral lines can be though. Hell, even leaving them around the map in TvZ to kill off roaming packs of lings would be awesome. Prepare for some crazy tactics with these. | ||

Prepare for some crazy tactics with these. i dont see how anybody can look at the new terran units and think they don't need them after looking at the new zerg units..... zerg is going to be absolutely ridiculous. the way it's looking is zerg is going to be the most cost effective race while at the same time already being the race that always has more money than they can spend from being able to produce 21 drones every minute..... I like this though because now in HotS it's looking liek if a Terran can win you know he had to really really really earn it. | ||

I really prefer dropping rines or hellions since they're more mobile. With the shredder, the enemy will just run his workers before it sets up. About the pack of lings, yeah it made me change my mind about the usefulness of the shredder but massed ranged units will just kill it. This is just speculation so I don't know, maybe I'll love the shredder... Tachikomas in SC2 ftw! | ||
