It'll get nerfed. Lots. Not sure about comparing a Mutalisk to an Oracle like that, Mutas can do a lot of things Oracles cannot either (like attacking for longer than 10 seconds...)
Gee I wish I could clean out two mineral lines for 600/600. They are clearly a far more potent harassment option.

They have way less range, no cloak, cost more and are significantly worse in a straight up fight than banshees.

I can't wait to see HerO utilize all these new features of Protoss.

Rotti and Day9 are having so much fun casting this, it's infectious.

Have u actually played HotS?

Depending on how the meta develops, they may want to have two observers for games - so they can better cover multiple fights going on at once. (Like in Game 1 - we didn't see White-Ra's third getting sniped repeatedly.)
That's probably not a bad idea, regardless... but I think HotS is going to be more like BW in terms of having fights that don't fit on a single screen.

Every protoss against terran or zerg just masses 4 of them of the start, and their is literally no way to deny them. Ive never had them kill less than 15 workers. I've played a protoss who flew in with 4 of them and get insta gibbed by my widow mine and a turret. It's okay!
had a viking instead of the turret, controls the area way better. If you snipe a few oracles before they can drain their energy its pretty hurtfull for the toss. If you wanna troll the oracle stuff, go for neo steel frame and load in all your workers or super fast burrow.
