The new units are overall okay... but a MAJOR major criticism i have is of the Oracle. Of course, having not played HotS, I'm not really sure, but I watched those stupid videos and it just looks so... unfair? I don't know how to put it. Basically you just run in and you get FREE harassment. Even if the opponent has impeccable defense, that threat is always present. And especially late game shutting down a mining base is unbelievably huge. Even if you send a viking/corruptor to go get it, it's so fast that you can't really kill it.

Also, the Reaper health regen seems worthless. Your Reaper got shut down by lings, good thing you can go back into his base with full hp and get shut down again!
hmm... let's think about it

Some stuff looks really stupid visualy, along with the 22 range tempest. Imagine how dumb it is for people to rush tempest and oracle and then they slowly bombard your mineral line from some dead space in the corner of a map until you get air.

Other then that I just want them to increase the skill cap.

Well the FFs have HP (75 I think) so even if you get it off they go down super fast if you are aware at all.

Sure the units need balanced a bit more but I have to say, after the last HoTs update I was hoping it wouldn't come I really disliked the direction the units were taken, but this new one is so much better. I can't wait for beta now!

I don't really have any thoughts on it, I hope I get to play in the beta. But from what I saw the units looked all OP, they will nerf them, once the beta is out.

oracle is a terrible idea and the warhound's model is a mechanic troll, it doesn't belong to a terran army. The rest seems interesting.

- the viper pull is a bad idea in my eyes.
the pull move looks so like 2000...
didnt anyone @ bliz have a better idea for softening up the lategame?

- ultralist charge? this is ridiculous, look gimmicky and is somewhat like the viper pull ability. dont like.

- also i guess the tempest will be useless, because it has so low dps. compared to tanks, the units with the second highest range, the tempest dps is just laughable, and it hasnt even AoE like tanks. i just dont see where it could fit into the game.
in the midgame it should be easy to counter with viking/muta/corruptor, and in the lategame every tempest would be a waste of supply, because it burns supply for a low dps unit. also: whats left of the idea to give protoss a good anti-air unit? this problem is not solved, just because zergs comfortably prefer to play mass roach into broods against protoss these days.

Carrier is not better than Tempest Oo. Tempest is even cooler... also you guys should check out the nydus changes... pretty cool

To be honest, I don't like the new changes. :/

Terran will now feel like you're playing a Transformers/RA2 game, both the Ultralisk's charge ability and the Swarm Host's pulling ability seem ridiculous, and the new Protoss changes are too simplistic and Warcraft 3'ish: mass recall?

Really positive for me, really excited for HotS after seeing all of it.

the new mech unit needs to shoot air. I dont want to mass thors. Its so silly to max out on thors.

I think widow mines are going to be too useful for terrans in the early and mid game. They easily prevent ling run-bys, can stop mutalisk harass without taking your army out of position, and from the video they dealt tons of damage. Something has to be nerfed with them. I personally feel like the range that they attach to a unit is much too large. I also feel like the splash damage radius is either too large or too powerful in terms of damage.

Tempest seems much too powerful. 10 range, splash damage, upgrade to 22 range, and it got built out of a normal stargate almost immediately. 2 Tempest rush is going to be the next big cheese for Protoss if you ask me.

Time will tell though.
