You're supposed to park swarm hosts VEEEEEEEEEERY far away from where you want to hit so that the locusts fight when they're close to the end of their timer and you get fresh new ones at the battlefront. They can be very difficult to fight off when properly used. | ||

Defending isn't good because dps not high enough, deathball is boring, controlling is not good because no burst damage like siege tank. Haven't seen anyone use it "properly" yet did you see the first game? they were used in a cool way there with nice 3 tempest splitting micro against vikings while a ground battle was happening I thought it was cool. I've heard Carrier/Tempest is nearly unbeatable against Terran too. | ||

Absolutely nothing : (, The only thing that's interesting about it is that it might fix BL + Infestor for PvZ. I really hope they could just skip the Tempest and make the Carrier into the BW carrier again but with quicker building time etc so it's not impossible to get out (and tweaked accordingly). With that said PvZ seems to be better allready with the new units that are though. | ||

It's filling the role that I think the void ray was filling a very long time ago (anti-massive) So, death ball? I thought Blizzard doesn't want the Tempest as part of death ball fight ... | ||

I really hope Koreans start playing HoTS more so we can see how crazy it can be! I doubt they will since tournaments are still in WoL. At least they would wait for a definitive release date and a beta build which is pretty close to the release in terms of balance changes. No reason to still practicing and refining builds when units change weekly. | ||

I personally thought that was an interesting game, the spell casting from the Oracle was particularly cool, and it seemed like much more dynamic army compositions than WoL ZvP. HotS has potential, there's no doubt about that in my mind. Great UI and feature changes are also being implemented. Yet overdramatic players are saying "I'm done with Blizzard". #firstworldproblems yeah the oracle seems cool. I'm just wondering about the Tempest. | ||

It doesn't actually have high damage really, but it has long range and bonus to massive. That's what makes it interesting. A-moving with this unit will be worthless unless you get 20 of them like in that last game. You need both positioning and target firing. | ||
