 . Its not just going to revitalize the matchups, but its also going to change the way people think about MU's with all the new units that require positioning tactics along with the macro to support it all. It seems like Blizz is introducing ways of making the skill ceiling much, much higher . | ||

And the mothership can still move. The mothership core can't. ahh then its MS and mothership core now for toss? I miss that.. And as zerg player i can tell you zerg at 3 bases can go hive very fast , you just need take 6 gases fast , but dunno I must see game from some pro players to confirm my thinking , but IMO its possible to hit that timming to shot down toss gate pressure with hydras. | ||

Also, if all they wanted was to give the protoss an flying siege unit, why not increase the carrier range? At least they other player would be able to defend at least a little. And then you keep one of the iconic units that made the game instead of forcing this new model for a failed unit. | ||

The Oracle is going to be a great harassment unit, if you think about it, it will be much faster than killing off workers giving it much faster harassment times and lower risk. Core is super defensive/anti-harass with its purify ability and teleport ability. I would imagine you could warp to a drop and take it out quickly. Mine - I feel its going to be similar to banelings. Could be used to snipe important units, really dependent on its range and the amount of time it takes to activate. Warhound- cant say much until we see it Hellions - Harassment unit that just got scary. You can run it fast into the base and transform into a potent force if trapped. I feel it'll make mech a hell lot more viable. Viper - It'll be a good templar sniper. Good marine counter, will totally change TvZ more into a BW esque battle with Terrans microing out of the cloud. SH - not sure on this one 45 seconds is a long time to wait. Ultra - Sounds crazy. Ultras will be able to get better surrounds. Hydra - I dont think it will make much of a difference with roaches being cheap. Hydras will always be an anti air response. Might see more usage in ZvP | ||

I really really really truly hope I am wrong here but honestly I am afraid for this expansion. I also find it odd that your so fond the the BW units, when you've only been apart of team liquid for a couple of months. I would have though such a big BW fan would have been much more aware of the community. Btw here is the proper spelling of the word "What". | ||

If zerg player can go fast to this tech at base play ( like roches one) IMO its instantly kill all toss warpgate pressure , even 7-8 blink stalkers gate pushes are dead now :D , im so happy :D But MS CANT MOVE NOW , its addon to nexus , like planetery fortres for terran. Toss cant attack you with MS , he cant vortex .. how you can complain at this ? you got it wrong. the mothership still can move. the core cant move. the mothership now needs a core and fleet beacon. that is to say that toss needs another building before he can build a motehrship. its retarded, not to mention that the whole idea of the mothership itself is retarded. make the oracle like the arbiter in broodwar! | ||
