Viper abduct is cool, and I am all for it denying Death Ball in some way, but abducting Mothership is incredibly stupid. It is ok that you can cast Neural on Mothership, Neural has lower range, and is channeling, also unit that cast it is slow and has low hp, and is ground unit, but nothing of this apply to Viper and abduct.

viper pulls whatever u want, darlin <3
i only used the "no-beta-mode", so no multiplayer, the units look interesting, but have to check multiplayer, but warhound seems op o.O
the more u have, the more the enemy thinks wtf is this C&C or what!?

Hey guys

Any information on when the next wave of invites is going out? Or at the very least, any wild/educated guesses? :D

Everytime I see the Warhound stomping all over Protoss with ease, I laugh.

So anybody got any recommended streamers to check out?

Been watching White-Ra and Dimaga mostly, lots of pretty interesting games out of those two

Also, given my track record of shitting on HoTS I feel credit is due where credit is due. PvZ is looking a lot more interesting, has action in many stages of the game and armies are a lot more spread out

This may just be because the pros haven't figured out the optimal builds, but I think it is a promising development

Is there a list of changes done to units from WoL ? I noticed the siege tank seems to have been buffed slighly in damage , BC's have more ground anti damage and seeker missile is only 100 Energy now. Anything else ?

Reapers got their regen by default, and does more damage to light units than what they did in WoL. They are pretty decent units right now for the early game.

I am quite happy how HotS turned out. There will be some tweaks and changes, and I am pretty sure some of the changes aren't final and maybe even some units aren't final, but I think it will be a lot better than WoL.

Tempest reminds me of this:

It only has bigger range compared to a spoon, damage is equal I think.

I've seen no real talk about the viper yet... Really curious on its uses cause it does seem like the coolest (ignore that tongue pulling thing) new addition cause of the similarities to the defiler (and we all know how baller of a unit that was haha).

I'm watching White-Ra (HotS special tactics!)

His opponent: what's your favorite unit?
White-Ra: in this game?
Opponent: yes
White-Ra: warp prism

Oh White-Ra

I wonder if that's just because he loves harassment, or if it's also because the new Protoss units aren't that amazing.

In other news, warhounds keep obliterating him x.x

I wonder how much time the pro-gamers are spending between HotS and WoL. Which players have decided to stick with WoL a bit longer (if they've been given an option to play the closed beta at all), which are going 100% all out on HotS (I assume those who aren't super successful in WoL because they have nothing to lose), etc.

It seems that we have a continuously strong supply of streamers (including those who are non-featured). When a few sign off, a few more sign on

Incidentally, does anybody know the pro opinions of HoTS thus far? Be interested to hear what those who have got hands-on experience of the game think of it
