Also, the mothership core is perfect for denying overlords now and keeping zergs in the dark.


..I thought it was only an air to ground attack?

You've got it backwards. It WAS a harass unit BEFORE this patch. Blizzard did this specifically so that it COULDN'T be used as offensively as it once was. It is now WAY more of a defensive unit.

Wow...huge nerf for recall. Mass recall was the one fun and creative addition for protoss from Blizzard and they ruined it How on earth are protoss supposed to use it now? It's a deathball only ability now. Just too slow to use in the fashion Blizzard envisions...especially for big maps.

I think recall should stay on the nexus and the radius should be extremely small (encourage harass). This promotes keeping your entire army in a clump again.

Recall was never an "addition", its been around for 10 years ;o. But yes, at least widow mine burrow time was reduced for Terran. Hoorah xd

It was only used to "bring the deathball to you". It makes more sense as a defensive ability than an offensive one.

sigh, i thought the entire point of the recall ability was so protoss didnt have to keep their forces clumped up together but could send in small forces to poke/ harass and then recall if things got dicey. These changes go against that completely imo. you're basically forced to send the core with every force now if you want to recall and although it got a speed boost, its still very slow.

They're avoiding changing WOL units for a couple of weeks, according to Browder.

I am not a protoss player (Terran) but I have to say I like this patch. The MsC play will look really fun as it will be target fire down to prevent any escape. I am happy to see blizzard changing the radius on recall. Mass recall only encourage death ball play. I hope that they continue to play around with the energy cost and radius of recall. With the new MsC speed, protoss players can stage some interesting strategy which is awesome.

In PvP, the defender can gain the advantage of purifier. But this no longer shuts down early aggression because the player can use recall to retreat. (also, purifier is on a time bomb as the energy will run out if not canceled...etc) I am exciting to see the new PvP matchup.

Overall, I am happy to see this patch. It sounds awesome.

As others have noted, 100/100 is pretty expensive for such a low-damage unit. I'm guessing purify's damage will get a buff before all is said and done. And 100/100 for is costly enough to make you not want to build one for an all-in (in an all-in, it's basically just a floating marine). Zergs will want to scout for mothership core to see if you're going to all-in them.

And now that you need to have it with your army to use it's recall, they might need to increase its health pool so that it doesn't get picked off too quickly by vikings.
