I know its only beta day1 and I hope something happens but the problem is that protoss doesnt even have anything new that has the potential to make protoss stronger. None of the new units are actually fighting units so if it comes down to it well use our same old armies against zerg / terrans with new stuff  Oracle is nice and I like it although Im not sure its effective, the motership core is fun and stuff but doesnt change anything to dramatically and the tempest, well... And we dont even get new upgrades for older units or something like that | ||

the warhound is just a unit that noone needs. There are no holes that a a move long range single target unit fixes for terran. It's either overpowered or irrelevant. The best thing to do for Blizzard here is to remove it and add another spellcaster. abilities like a more expensive lockdown or so would be thinkable... | ||

Right now I resolutely refuse to make colossus when laddering, playing to win is a pipe dream for when I can actually macro. I just wanna make shit explode in increasingly badass ways, and thats about it. | ||

It was 2 the last time someone published unit stats, and hasn't changed that I've seen. Someone in the beta could confirm it, but they are really really good for their supply. | ||

Well, it might actually not be a bad idea if they had a physically large unit with low supply that did relatively low damage. It would not be OP (because of low damage) but it would give a good "mass mech" image quite easily even before max-supply unit numbers. Plus, it would simply feel better to control an army that would "feel" huge.  | ||

In PvP its a gas sink that does nothing to defend one base play, in PvZ it has some use to slow down mining, in PvT when Terran gets vikings its completely ineffective. I have felt since it was announced that it was going to either start out underpowered or start out overpowered and be nerfed into a meh unit. That said, it is still just a beta so who knows what might happen. | ||

I can imagine team ROOT wagging a finger at Destiny, shouting: "We shall not be outdone in our depravity!" | ||

What streams had you been watching ? They don't. Roaches just rape that unit composition while being very trade efficient... | ||

Except that they murder absolutely everything. + Show Spoiler + Fuck warhounds At least one thing about Warhound that I have a problem with, even before going into any detail about anything is the attack animation. Stalker attack animation is one of the most boring animations in the game and now they seem to be giving the same attack to the Warhound. Someone should check if the attack animation guy has even come to work for the last few months. We already had moving white lines in Space Invaders. | ||
