Just forcefield. Then you have more energy on oracle. You're going to need sentries anyways.

Getting sentries all the way across the map without a warp in pylon takes entirely too long + potential for losing more +shit ton more gas. It could work though, but with 4 oracles plenty of energy to snipe the hatch(His third was actually his lair so it had more hp too) and time warp the path leading to the third. So I think it might be better to keep sentries at home ot stop zergling runbys etc.

Well as a terran this is just fucking depressing. I have to continue doing the exact same builds as in WoL except they are way less effective.

When will they finally do something for terran ???

WoL is the supposed "expansion" for Terran so I'm sorry, I think it's time to switch to Zerg.

If Blizzard doesn't like to add new Units to Terran at least change the bad/mediocre Terran units to be at least viable / don't take ages to be useful.

ok, yeah oracles that's cool and all...what about widow mines?

i still have no fucking clue how to deal with them as zerg. it's to the point where i 100% stopped playing beta after being top 25 GM and loving it. i really really do not enjoy not being able to kill meching terrans. i must be really bad because i see nobody else complaining about this. maybe hots just isn't for me. -_-

Thx... but this is an open window to imbalance
Time Warp + colossus and/or psystorm = beat anything


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


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


I don't think BL/Infestor/Corruptor will care too much about that.

If you didn't properly scout then yes.

And the name thing can't be worse than Battle Hellion -> Hellbat.

Please... in BW players opened with DT's against zerg when every damn overlord gave detection.... you just have to find ways around it(In BW it was corsair to chase down ovies etc.)

Just because they didn't make any changes to Terran in this patch doesn't mean that they will never make any changes. They've obviously been focusing on major Protoss changes this time around, which is fine considering how much of an overhaul to the Oracle we're getting.

Be patient. They'll get around to Terran changes eventually.
