Mothership core has undergone great changes imo. Some more number tweaking might be needed, but I like it's role now a lot more.

Streaming now to show the changes to protoss. I'm playing ladder, and will probably play the other two races from time to time. A lot of interesting changes. Trying to make stargate work against terran, the transition is the toughest to figure out. Any toss strats you want to see, msg me in the chat and i'll try them.

I miss defensive matrix, irradiate, scourge, and reavers. I don't see how implementing these units would hurt balance, I just want more options. Heck even scouts would be welcome, put the stupid entomb on that unit.

The mothership core changes are awful and lead to gimmicky play for what seems to be an evolving gimmicky deathball race.

I'm someone that enjoys playing gimmicky with toss, yet this is way too much for me. Going to change races until blizzard makes their intentions clearer on some units; eg., am I going to have a mothershipcore that specializes in defense or is it going to be a jack of all trades that isn't very good at any one aspect? It feels too much like practicing design strategies than simply practicing to get better with the race. I get that, that's part of beta. It's just with all of the random input they are taking... it's hard to not feel like every week is going to bring something drastic. Would rather just wait for toss to not seem so fluid, and if they had more units that were more solid/less gimmicky, that would be great. I love playing gimmicky with toss, like I said, so not sure how others are thrilled if I'm feeling as it needs more balance.

After playing 10+ games using this new mechanic, I must say I prefer the old recall much more. As far as it being too strong on offense, I have suggested on the b.net forum to possibly give it a leash mechanic, such as only being able to move on pylon power.

More options? Scourges are denying even the old options, they are not making new ones.

We’re also reevaluating the oracle's third spell: Phase Shift. While Phase Shift is a cool option against Fungal Growth, is not very appealing in other situations.


Could Phase shift protect against EMP also? Ghosts were looking scary for a while, Taeja still makes me scared of ghosts. But no one really uses them effectively.



why would you be scared of him your never gonna play him


a player who sees his game will most likely duplicate it. No one on the ladder now uses ghosts because they are either not skilled enough or have no idea how to use them effectively. Why do you write such a stupid comment in response to my post? Do you have anything to add to the HoTs conversation? then stfu dude.


Replicate taeja ? ROFL its impossible even for foreign terran pro gamers the only terran player on par with taejja is probably MVP. And also idk what you mean terran dont you ghost against toss every terran use them when toss goes templar obviously they dont micro has good has taeja.

scourge would be a much cooler and cheaper and zergier option vs mother ships and colossi than making boring corrupters

As everyone is saying, making the MC move from nexus to nexus seemed like the best idea. For recall, they could have decrease the radius, so only small group of units could be recalled (like 10 stalkers max). This expansion is going the wrong way, every patch is more disappoint than the last.

I am so happy with these changes to the mothership core! They actually succeeded in making it a unit rather than a boring defensive structure.

When I first read these patch notes, I, like everyone else here, was skeptical. But anyone who has seen the new mothership core in action (watch the WhiteRa games from today!) will tell you that these few changes have made protoss twice as dynamic and fun to play.

Yeah, they really don't. Locusts need to be strong in order to achieve the area control that they're good for. You can always retreat from the locusts due to the timed life - plus the hosts themselves are extremely vulnerable during the time between locust spawns.
