Oracle. It has useful and cool abilities that will add depth to the race. I don;t think the other two protoss units will make the final cut to be honest.

Healing reaper harass!! jk jk

I voted for Shredder because I'm a Terran homeboy, and at low levels the drops will be roflicious.

I will also try at least one Thor-Rush.

The viper is the stupidest fucking unit I've ever seen, as is the shredder.. I was really disappointed with these new units tbh, but I'm still curious to see how it will all pan out.

I would be shocked to see 50% of these new changes make it through beta testing..

Oracle will be too OP, bad unit design. How do you defend against it without camping your army at the mineral field because it can negate cannons and spore crawlers.

Swarm Host will be useless late game against large balls because those units will easily die in an instant no matter how much you have.

Warhound, just another hard counter. Not very strategical.

Warhound is funny.
No one wants it in the game.
It needs to be there. /;

Replicant please. More flexibility in Protoss is good.

If they balance them right, I am really looking forward to the oracle and the replicant.

3 marines, 2 stalkers or a queen. The mineral forcefields only have 75hp, oracles are weak too. They'll be annoying harass but I don't think OP at all considering the gas cost.

ya. Brainless defense is a good skill to have as a Terran. Adding more brainless defense helps!

Brainless attack too, battle helions + the silly gobot is going to make TvT 1A who has more. Minimal micro mech, just what the game needs. Clash of the deathballs.

They'll be useless.... poor sad zealot, can lose workers but can't kill any...

I think the only way I see oracle used is 4gate to shut down spines and delay 1/1/1 ... I mean 1 viking and/or 1 corruptor , muta , marine, hydra etc comes ... they become useless . Depending on their health .. but still .. protoss going to be the underdog.. once again

I think the Oracle seems to be very well thought-out. Their health seemed to be pretty sturdy from the one video I saw.
