Disappointing for terrans, I really hope some things are added and changed for terran during the beta since it seems like they've been gimped more than other races in the expansion.

You're missing the point. Once again Protoss will determine the place and time of the battle. You're gonna make hydras and burrow swarm hosts with their 45 second cooldown vs sentries?

Ok, looks sick, it's definitely a giant improvement from their first announcement. Glad the tempest has been changed and the Shredder removed. The Oracle has definitely improved with its new abilities but I still think that the mineral block ability is stupid.

I'm excited but I'm also really worried about what all these units will do to the balance of the game. I mean, every single one is just ridiculously powerful. Zerg tier 2 (pretty much like ground Brood Lords, that can burrow too!) and a 22 range unit for late game Toss...(On Shattered, these could prolly seige your main from like above the Nexus...has crazy flashback to Thor drops on Lost Temple and heart misses a beat) I definitely forsee some ridiculously imba shit happening when the game hits...

but I'm still excited!
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

I'm completely confused about what to think of the Tempest, but... WOOT WIDOW MINES! Sounds like a fun ability to use AND to play against =)

Plus, I'm glad they decided to keep the Mothership instead of the Super thor

And the oracle cloak is intriguing

And warhounds are cute

Yep, I is excite

the speed or lack of was a huge handicap to hydras, but now they seem way more viable and can shake up the zvp fights

Biological unit restriction for blinding cloud makes it essentially useless against Protoss then. Not to mention it becomes less intuitive to spectators now, because it's going to confuse them a bit at first when they see marines not firing but siege tanks can.

widow mine and the new mech units look really lackluster in comparison to the new zerg/toss units.

The fight where they showcased in the preview vs the toss the widow mines did almost nothing lol.

I have a feeling HotS is going to be a bitch to balance.

So, in thinking over possibilities and cheese that worked about a year ago (not so much now)...

As a Zerg player, if I concentrate lurkerSwarm Host and Infestors, I basically can spawn a free army as often as my timer ticks and my infestors still have energy? Move up, burrow swarm hosts (they're now invisible), then move burrowed infestors up to support with massive beach ball lobbing under the cover of the Swarm Hosts.

After this weekend, maybe the HotS custom maps get updated and we get a taste while waiting and praying we get into the beta.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Why doesnt blizzard just remove terran??
blizzard is crossing out all possible unit composition
in TvZ mech sucks anyways
and viper is gonna make tank useless
so only possible TvZ unit combo terran has is MMM...

and in TvP they didnt make any nerf to toss late game units, they buffed it by giving mothership recall ability back, and giving
nexus mothership core...
now toss units strong and mobile

When constructed from the factory, the Hellion spawns in its new battle mode, which gives it additional hit points and a stronger flame attack that covers a short forward-facing arc

So when I spawn my units from my buildings and want to get them out into the battlefield, I use mobility mode. And when I'm out in the battlefield, I switch to battle mode so it can outbattle other units, right? Oh wait.


That's actually on purpose. If you are bronze, battle mode is more useful, otherwise, it's an APM tax in a game that's pretty APM light.

Finally, the Hydralisk has a new upgrade that allows them to move faster while not on creep.

I actually started jumping in my chair at this hahah, pretty excited for all the new changes. Gonna be a great time on the competetive scene for a while I'm sure

also great write up!

Justin Browder expects that with practice, pro-level players will almost always be able to remove the mined units away from the rest of their unit cluster.


Wait, what?!
So i should build this Mine in factory, loss resources, loss time in factory for it, and then kill 1 (ONE!) unit with it? Realy?!

Zerg gets scorpion from mortal kombat, 'defiler', underground broodlords and more, and I get Mine? Great...

I'm going to hold my opinion until I play the game since I'm pretty on the fence with almost all the changes.

But I gotta say, 22 range is really far...
this is my quote.
