He's also showing that vipers can pull his own units, so I'm assuming that vipers can pull allied units too in team battles.
I'm waiting for a viper conga line to relay-pull a mothership core all the way across the map for a sick recall inside the opposing team's base! ♥

I got into the beta but I won't be playing until later unfortunately.

i think it does extra damage to mech units but the base damage is 20 something i think. and it is faster than roaches with speed -.-

Just for the pure hilarity of seeing that happen, I really want someone to try it.

i feel like protoss really didnt change that much compared to the other 2 races. the new protoss units serve a certain purpose and overall they are fine but it's just not as game changing as the new units for zerg and terran. would have been cool to have at least one new ground unit but well, just my first impression of watching some streams.

Anyone else think the Warhounds attack looks like a Squirt Gun. I watch streams on mute, and everytime the WH fires all I see is squirt squirt squirt.

If you guys have any questions, let me know!

I agree with the lack of depth that the new Protoss units are creating (in... the first day of beta, mind you). I've seen players use vipers, swarm hosts, and warhounds insanely effectively, but I've only seen tempests and oracles be annoying for about two seconds, get shot down almost immediately, and either not be rebuilt or end up implicitly aiding in the Protoss's loss because of how many resources have been wasted on them. I haven't seen them used that effectively in unit compositions either, whereas the new Terran and Zerg units clearly bulk up the armies and provide defense where there were clear weaknesses.
The mothership core is pretty interesting though... a lot of people are fiddling around with that in really interesting ways

can someone here give link to hots good stream?

Are there any new upgrades? I heard the Roach got a regen upgrade.

Right?! TLO is back in his element in this beta.
|
@Torte de Lini: how do you think zergs should handle a warhound/battle hellion + later thors + tank combo?
edit: i know its still beta, i thought id ask anyway lol.
and also, it's fun watching root team steam last night

Only new upgrades i'm aware of are Hydralisk speed and Ultralisk burrow charge.

I dunno if you play ZvZ or have watched any but how does that matchup look like in hots? It seems like swarm hosts would add a lot to that I would think, and hydra speed and ultra charge?! Seems like something in that matchup is gonna change bigtime, it might even slow down a bit depending on how big a deal swarmhosts are in it.

Can't see how warhound won't be nerfed.
|
After watching the streams for a couple of hours I'm feeling really dissapointed. HotS looks like a major letdown, it looks less and less like StarCraft and more like C&C. "Mech" doesn't play like mech at all, Widow Mines seem like a giant mistake, way worse than Spider Mines in terms of design. They have no idea what they're trying to achieve with the new additions, it seems.
|
Tempest are almost sad.
I like the zerg changes.
Terran will be just be annoying once more.
