Servers have been back up for ~40 mins, BTW.
Couple very initial thoughts...
Wow...multiple oracles is pretty insane (servers back up) -- 3/4 in your base even for a few seconds can cause some hefty damage, though obviously they're very fragile.
Also, time warp is a much bigger radius than I guess I expected, and lasts a LONG time. Did Protoss really need more AOE zoning / etc.? time warp + forcefields mean no protoss should ever engage in a bad exchange again.
If they don't remove forcefields I honestly don't see how bio remains viable. Throwing down a stargate and getting even 1-2 oracles for a couple time warps will mean completely demolishing with a normal colossus / storm ball. Even if the slight dip into stargate tech at a certain points equates to a somewhat all-in situation, with extremely simple micro you're basically guaranteed to win the engagement.

battle Helion need to be stimmed even if that affects only his move speed
Oracle chronoboosted = 17 sec ?
Thx... but this is an open window to imbalance
Time Warp + colossus and/or psystorm = beat anything
|
If they nerf Oracle's new beam, they should increase the energy cost rather than decreasing DPS. Keep it exciting.

FYI Chronoboost does not halve build time.

very disapointed terran late game is not being adressed or even talked about q.q

I agree, the DPS is potentially fine if counterweighted by enough of an EPS cost. I'm also not sure a 30-second build time is a good idea.

last time I checked, Colossi and Oracles couldn't deal with air, Templar only to a mediocre degree on their own etc. etc.

I expect most new stuff to be slightly imba right now. I wouldn't worry about that, but whether or not it's a good idea. The new Oracle seems potentially good, but it's hard to tell. What do you guys with the beta think?

And how does this matter when the ground is demolished in mere seconds ?

Time Warp = Temporal Wormhole rofl
Will be a fun thing to see combined with storms and forcefields.
|
You don't need to deal with air if you're fighting bio armies. If you're building colossi and oracles against mech you're already losing the game.
|
So is hallucination free now, or have they not changed it?
|
They need to get the right maps in the pool first. There is no real validity in tweaking units based on data off of poor maps.
Just my 02.

Why only one thing for Terran makes terrains left out...

Currently on WhiteRa stream it's pretty much oracle/mine circlejerk.

No. It doesn't prove any race OP. It only proves Blizzard's incompetence.

Just played a quick game. Hide my stargate and got up to 4 oracles really quickly... Sniped zergs third base but cost me 3 oracle of the 4 oracles(4th one in deep red.) If you time warp the ramp or path leading to the third it takes queens off creep hilariously long to get there to help support xD XD XD
It's a huge investment though(Cost me wayy more to build oracles then the cost of one hatch.) If it's scouted before the oracles are their and the zerg can put up a spore pretty much fucked....
