Really liking the new patch. Oracle seems more useful now and glad that mothership core can detect so it allows different tech paths and not so reliant on robo.
|
I love the new Oracle. To think I almost gave up on it.
MsC detection. Awesome. Less reliance on the robo. Good.

Kinda wish they stuck with the idea of Oracles' revelation spell detecting, MSC detection seems a bit too early.

Great Patch.Almost everyone like it.Not so happy to see another Unit added to the Protoss DEathball,but at least with Tempest changes,now players may go StarGate instead of Robo and also no need of observers so much...
The bad side: It seems like Protoss race got lot of issues in HotS,but what about Terran?We still got 1.5 new units and this horrible Hellbatman...

this is great because protoss needed help midgame. oh wait.

Widow-Mine, Widow-Mine,
Destroys everything if you can't see it.
Can it kill a Nexus?
No, it can't, that's probably a bug!
Look out, for the next patch!

I don't like the new oracle abilities. It doesn't feel right ... its just another 'attack' of sorts. Indeed even time warp is more effective in engagements rather than harassing a mineral line (you need two to cover the entire width, and it doesn't last too long), and anyways, it feels like I'm using FF anyways, like just a flying mobile sentry. Even when you look at MSC, it went from a defensive support tool, to something you use as an attacking tool (attack+recall, msc rush v queen).
I do miss entomb. With the changes many people proposed, like microable casting, so many entomb+storm possibilities ...

Sure, it's not sexy, but Terran apart from a few minor holes is a complete race. I don't think anyone has ever seriously suggested that they absolutely need major new units and abilities. No?

If these HoTS developments continue, I think we will see an explosion of creativity from Protoss players which will help all P match-ups.

Most of the issues that limited the other races have been well changed in HotS so far. Terran not so much. There still no endgame army to tech to that doesn't need 4+Bases + lightyears of time. BC's are still way too bad for what the cost . Ravens again are very meh and need years of setup time before becoming effective. Ghosts are only a niche unit ( so are Reapers ) . They also still have at least 3 useless upgrades. The units nobody used in WoL will still not be used in HotS without changes. I did not say there were complete in HoTS. Only that they were the most complete race in WOL and thus requiring the least attention. (DB said as much in an interview a few months ago.) Tbh, I don't see Terran needing major changes other than buffs to some of their higher tech. Ghosts need to be looked at though, I agree. I did not life the Ghost nerf, btw. Give it time, mate. The beta has been stated to be a months long process. Positive changes to Terran will come. Maybe you should just be happy for your P and Z brothers until that time comes? We will then rejoice with you.
I would say that terrans is the most complete race up to tier 2. Their late game units are pretty bleh and their production just cannot keep up with the other 2 races in the late game. Having some core units spread into 3 upgrade path also hurts (bio, mech, air).

Honestly, best patch update for the HotS beta. Hoping for an early 2013 release.

stargate with mass zealot is going to own so hard now!!

My only complaint about the Widow mine...
Why the hell does it attack cloaked units?

I'm shocked at the amount of people that like the Oracle changes. Is it because of pulsar beam? Time warp is just an aoe concussive shell, and I don't remember too many people praising that ability. It makes engagements slower and less exciting imo ;/

There is the big issue for Terran in SC2: production.We still use the BW way, while Protoss have evolved to WARP and Zerg to Spawn Larvae.I agree its the most complete race,but only to tier 2.Later it becomes a nightmare.30 mins to make Ravens usefull and no limit to make BCs.
Not only this,but as you said Upgrades research is another handicap.One for BIO,one for Ground and another for AIR.Carapace affect both Range and Melee Zergs.But they got Air,same as P and T.Protoss upgrades Gate and Robo units at same time.WHY???The Zerg caparace is understandable for every unit,but why Robo and Gate Units share upgrades?A stalker is a robotic unit,so as Immortal,sentry and Colossus,so it make sense,but then why Zealots share upgrads with them?A Marauder is almost robotic unit.Its a Suit,same as Iron Man,so why cant Tank and Marauder upgrades be the same?

Unlike a concussive shell hit, you can move out of the time warp field, but this requires active micro from the opponent. Also it's very powerful for area control, which people want more of.

Oh, so it's like that secret mission ability in single player. I thought it was more of a fungal type debuff that stuck on the units after it hit. Not as bad as I thought.
