The only viable strategy now seems to be harass with oracle and warp prisms and slowly pick off their army, using mass recalls from mothership and mothership core until you have a bigger economy. Wait, I thought that's what zerg was supposed to do. And not even that, the fact you are guaranteed to lose a direct late game engagement is just stupid and it'll make the matchup boring. TvZ seems even more imba. | ||

In fact it's the reason why he won, the zerg was floating like 2k gas and had no minerals. On the other hand, Protoss was losing pretty much every straight up fight with very little map control. It's clear that there's no chance of winning at all without the oracle against vipers/swarmhosts/speed hydras. Personally I don't think it's completely broken. The zerg player could have dealt with it a little bit better too.. Balance by imbalance units for every race is quite possible and very fun to play as demonstrated by BW. | ||

Cmon, late game BL/infestor was OP enough. The tempest is also no good, I don't care it has an insane range, it shoots and moves slowly, doesn't do splash and it doens't have a ton of HP, it'll get owned by corruptors the same way carriers did. Zerg doesn't even need to use abducts on it, save those for the colossus and mothership. Actually with their insane range you can actually defend them effectively from corruptors with archon/stalker mix. After all the range is so huge that corruptors will have to pass a whole bunch of AA units. | ||

If you ever doubted that the battle report was implausible, consider that the Zerg had corruptors and let that oracle live anyway. I also thought the P player should have skipped the tempests in favor of more colossi. | ||

I'm all for creating new and exciting units, and I'm also willing to support just bringing back BW units into the game if necessary, but this middle ground of "new units that do original/cool stuff but not really" really makes no sense. | ||

I've watched the Battle Report, and I really like the Tempest concept. 22 range... Unless those bad boys are super-expensive, they could make a good victory fleet. Get some observers/smaller craft to sightline, and... well I'll just wait for the game to come out and see for myself. Question - if you have a Mothership on the field, can you make a new Mothership Core since you now have 0? Because I'd still want those core abilities. | ||
