Yes, let's fire everyone that correctly identified that Terran mech sucked against Protoss and advocated the removal of a unit no one fucking used up until the very moment it was removed, at which point everyone was crying about how it was used more often than battlecruisers, the standard go to unit in TvT and the increasingly standard end game TvZ unit.
You can be happy the Warhound is removed - god knows I am - but don't say such stupid things.
So terrans loose the raven buff, the bc buff, the warhound, get a nerf to the helion and just get a buff to the reaper and a shorter tech tree to a shitty unit ? Oo glad i was thinking of switching away from random as i would hate to roll terran now
Is there anywhere on TL that I can view all the new additions that HotS brings for each race? Because I can only think of Terran getting the reaper upgrade (combat regeneration from the battlereports), the battle hellion, the widow mine, and thats it?
maaaaaaan that new oracle spell sounds really cool , the oracle as a unit itself got a lot more interesting for me now imagine lategame pvz a few oracles protecting your blink stalkers from getting fungalled and you can blink easier under broodlords and snipe them - really cool^^
the fact that you can protect your mothership better vs neural parasite is cool also^^
and obviously - the return of our beloved carrier, made my day
the removal of warhound is the right choice imo, to take the step and give it a try to redesign it! respect blizzard !
Awesome. As I was reading through the changes, I got to Phase Shield and started thinking "man this has a lot of potential mixed with carriers" and became sad. Then saw carrier is coming back and OMGZ!
I'm picturing some really cool looking protoss armies with the phase shield, carriers, and tempests. I was really disappointed with oracle's potential before this patch, but now I think the phase shield will open up a ton of cool potential and become a staple of any late game protoss army. Extra micro, extra decision making, it feels like it should raise protoss skill ceiling a lot now instead of just being a boring "you like harass? here ya go" unit.
Didn't they say at one point that it was going to also provide temporary cloak as a skill? That would be a pretty amazing addition here ^^ Add that and I'd be ok with mothership going away. Maybe mothership core could stay and you can spawn oracles with it XD ok just rambling now...
*edit* Oh also, I feel like a lot of these great changes have to do with this secret pro forum I heard Geoff mention on ItG. I'm starting to feel confident that if blizzard stays open minded and listens to the pro community, this game will continue to go in the right direction.
oh sad seeker missile is back to overpriced 125 energy. Oh and you can lower reaper build time too Blizzard, barracks now take longer need depots ... and most of all factory for speed.
EPT
so EXCITED!@!!!!!!@!@!@!@!!
