EPTAlso, while I'm extatic that they're putting the Carrier back in the game, I'm getting a bit concerned about ZvP. I really don't think Toss needs a Mothership late-game anymore (well basically vortex I'm saying), and I wish that Zerg had more options. I always thought ZvP was a bit bland from the Zerg end when Toss goes air, because all you can do is mass Corruptors and Infestors, and Corruptors are really boring.

Besides, it doesn't matter if warhounds come from a fact, they are a shit unit that makes the game worse and shouldn't be part of any RTS played competitively. If the alternative is between bio only and warhounds, im picking current bio thank you very much. | ||

Why would a unit be able to see highground and not shoot it? I'm thinking that the strength isn't going to be for the reapers to be able to shoot stuff on the highground anyways (but yea it will probably be annoying when they can)... but if the Terran has vision of the high ground without having a unit in the base that itself opens up a ton of things you can do to abuse that early. 1 or 2 reapers and 1 or 2 marines, with well placed bunkers and a couple of tanks. Will be rough to deal with. | ||

It's bad enough that there are a lot of build order counters, we don't need the reaper to fuck up the equation even more. To be honest, I care about this more than I care about the warhound, battle hellion, and widowmine changes. I love TvT the most and will not stand for the match up turning into early game reaper wars. If they take out that passive ability and increase the health of the unit to make it more durable, I think that would make the reaper unit more fun to play with and not have it become overpowered. | ||

However with the battle hellion mode being an armory-based upgradde now though, it feels like at the end of the day, Terran is not going to get much in HotS. Also like the Phase Shield ability. Will definitely add more micro to the match-up, particularly vs Fungals. | ||

Just with the adition of alot of good shit for other races and really shitty widow mines for themselfs. Rejoice! | ||

Blizzard has still refused to fix the Carrier. 10 damage to ground BC doesn't really fix the unit. It's still in the exact same position as Carrier - you can only get them really slowly over a long period of time where you kill off your army and replace it with BCs. You will still only see them in really long games where the opponent LETS the Terran get them, ie very rarely. | ||

And coming up with awesome ideas, phase shield sounds really cool. It'll bring more micro posibilities. You can break the accursed chain fungals with that! Everyone shout for 1 supply for widowmines. HotS is going to be fekin awesome. On September 15 2012 07:44 Chronos. wrote: Also, while I'm extatic that they're putting the Carrier back in the game, I'm getting a bit concerned about ZvP.

Well hydras are kind of an option now too with speed + abduct. I'm not a massive fan of the superunit all or nothing dynamic the mothership brings (specifically vortex/neural), but it can't just be cut without some kind of smaller arbiter type unit to replace it. | ||
