EPTIt's guaranteed to always kill the first queen.
It's too early a flyer.

Easy spamm mines, no trouble killing dropships or super mega cost efective mutaballs. Or in other case, it doesnt atack air, freee supply, free cost, add a new unit called vulture for 75minerals and attach 3 mines in there. I think I like this idea! question is, do you build one (fact w/ tech lab) and get 2? so for the reactor fact if you build 2 you get 4? Or can it only be made out of a fact with a reactor. | ||

I don't think it's the flying, it's the damage from the flying unit. With the speed and an auto-attack they've stopped it being a super powerful all-in unit and made it a super early air harass unit. That has it's own issues as shown from all the void ray nerfs that occured in WoL because they come out early-ish. I think the new auto-attack is silly. Take out the attack. It doesn't seem to fit the design of the unit. | ||

Time to build more Queens in ZvP for air defense/transfuse. Seems legit. As I've said before, I'm very happy with the direction. HOTS is shaping up to be a Significantly different play experience than WoL. This is good, as their promise for SC2, is a trilogy experience, not expansion. | ||

Actually the zerg has 2 queen pop out to defend but MC was definitely will put out some damage on the first queen. I was surprised with it's 1.8 movement speed. It has pretty decent movement speed. All in all though, this is pretty bad. MC was supposed to be a defensive unit but it it turned out it can be a light pressure-esque unit in the early game lol. MC has got a lot of utility now actually. It can scout,clear watch towers as seen in the video,etc. I am expecting changes to the MC again. | ||

Also, having a light pressure unit in early game is a godsend for P. A low tech option to put a little early pressure without committing a ton is exactly what I wanted for P in HOTS. | ||

Maybe change the Mothership Core into a Nexus upgrade like the Orbital Command and reboot its energy to 50 with Purifier at a 50 energy cost? | ||

but we'll see, that video isn't very good, because (as others have also stated) the queen isn't microed at all. | ||

And for the recall... it was fun before, now it's like this one unit that you want to focus fast, then he can't recall - so the moment you have enough anti air, he can't use recall for harass anymore. I mean, how do you use recall against a Terran now? You don't! Marines will kill the core, long before you can use it properly. | ||

The queen killing is super easy to adjust to with your build order. Also, having a light pressure unit in early game is a godsend for P. A low tech option to put a little early pressure without committing a ton is exactly what I wanted for P in HOTS. What this guy said solves anything about early MsC attacks, instead of injecting the natural, poop a tumour and the 2nd queen has free mobility between the Nat and Main to fend off the attack. I agree it is too fast for my liking but whining over Beta balance isn't the way forward.. | ||
