My thoughts exactly, they just too proud to admit they made a mistake so they call it something else.I thought the same thing about the swarm host when it cam out, they want to give us the lurker but they are too proud to say they made a mistake. Instead lets give them something similar to both the lurker and the brood lord.

So Terrans are now Transforrmers, so in the HotS store they will discover thanks to some prophecy, that for real they came from Cybertron... I cant belive it. Not enougth that this race will become the most difficult in play, it will also be the most ugly race in the game.

SC2: Heart of the Swarm or as I like to call it... wanna-be Brood War.

Anywho, I am so excited for the new terran units. Perhaps finally Mech will be viable vs protoss! (Anti-mech missiles seem pretty nice :D)


Wanna-be Brood War...that sounds like a game I'd enjoy playing :D

Takes 8 seconds to blow up, and even dustin himself said he expects pros to take no damage from it.

If Warhounds dosen't fire at air, i REALLY hope blizzard dosen't remove the thor...

Or their hope to see more mech play seems very compromised...

And 22 range tempest?! WTF... With an obs they can kill BL when they're still in the zerg base...


Twitter: Khaldor confirmed that Thors are still in game and you can make more than 1.

Recall every three minutes, costing no supply. Don't the changes to protoss encourage turtling and and produce an even stronger deathball?

Yeah which improves my point on the widowmakers being useless just like the warhound and battle hellion.

Many of the changes seem really retarded IMHO. 22 range is going to be abused no matter what. Oracle is like a micro-less version of a HT drop. The Mothership core seems to give a "get out of jail" card. Spider Widow mines seems to lose depth when they are actually constructed rather than come equipped to another unit.

I mean, I'm just not feeling anything with many of the changes, although some are nice.

If Thors aren't that hero unit concept from before, and can now be built with warhounds, then I'm pretty excited and I like these changes as Terran. The Reaper change doesn't affect me much; I still won't be building Reapers in game. The widow mine is also intriguing...

The oracle seems to be countered by one spine-crawler anyway, I think the cloaking ability will be used more often to be honest.

if wing of liberty its far away for being balanced... the balance in HOTS seems to be extremely difficult !! Blizzard would need years after all games are released to achieve something close to Starcraft:Broodwar Masterpiece.
Beat after beat i will become stronger.
