Gotta love comments like these. Do you really think they are sitting around at Blizzard HQ going: "*snikkers* Lets fuck over the Terran race, mmyees will be fun watching them suffer muhahahahah". + It´s beta, and a long one at that. | ||

Huge range makes it benefit deathball play a bit actually. It's also yet one more deterrant to attacking protoss. Against any tech protoss goes you simply can't poke and harass safely: - sentries FF you whenever you move up a ramp => you can't run - stargate units slow/lift you up => you can't run - blink stalkers chase you => you can't run This plus giving protoss free detection (even if it's soft it still nullifies banshee/dt openings against toss) and a defensive ability like purify makes it really difficult to attack toss early on. Any matchup including toss seems to look more and more like a 10 minute no rush game. The epitome of cool pro play imo is a lot of action, multitasking, back and forth battles etc. i;'m afraid the protoss set up punishes attacking them too much. For now hellbat without transform upgrade seems a bit strong too. I think a lot of hellbat/tank +1 pushes will roll over zergs, off some sort of hellion/widow mine opening you can do it quite quickly and it can come at such a timing that it's really hard to stop imo. | ||

At the moment, Photon overcharge secures toss against all early push, Ms Core now denies early mines rush, and late game is the same for Terran (MMM / Viking / Ghost) except that... Protoss has so many new options to play. And against Zerg, Terran doesn't have any new compo, but has to deal with swarm host, viper, ultra burrow charge... I love to play on this beta, but atm, terran compositions are exactly the same (+ mines) than on WoL, so... it's time for Blizzard to work on mid / late game terran ! | ||

I know iit's costly but that doesn't mean it's impossible to make. And I know it's a positioning spell. But it's one like Forcefield or Fungal : once you're catch in it, you're dead if any army is near. I disagree, I think it will be more difficult to spread after being hit by it. But not impossible and not instant death. This is very much so the kind of spell Fungal should be. Units slowed by 50% just means it's harder to micro. Will be interesting to see what pro players can do to dodge within a time warp. Vikings should be able to counter them, just lead with them by 1 or 2 range, missiles snipe oracle(really fragile unit will pretty much insta die against a good number of vikings)and deny the time warp from hitting your army. It's a beta, at least them them try it out before condemning it as op or useless etc. With these new changes I am really.... Really excited for not only this patch but t osee if blizzard can keep moving in this direction! | ||

What's the point of the structure damage ability? so that people don't build their structures on the edges of their base, lol? the slow spell with protoss' already hilarious aoe will just demolish terran even harder, but might be cool vs zerg Spines making a full wall removes the only possibility terran has of winning tvz (early hellion bust), but will most likely improve zvz a lot. Hope they buffed viper and ultra so people test them more in beta, not because they think zerg is having any trouble. Note that I understand this is beta and they should be trying out a lot of different new stuff, it's just frightening to see what's getting all the attention and buffs and what's being ignored. | ||

I truly dont see that staying in the game like that for long. Either the damage will be nerfed, the amount of mana will be raised, or it will just be taken out of the game. If you have invested in enough oracles+ Immortals to bust before stim hits, you are going to have like 0 gateway support units and sure you might kill the bunker... but then what? I'll say it again... It's a BETA, at least test it before crying op or this needs nerfing. They haven't even released the patch yet, you cannot possibly if that will work. | ||

Doesn't stop it being used that way. I was thinking more of using it to help with killing of buildings. 2-3 oracles, you time warp the army so it can't get back in time while the other oracles snipe key tech structures etc, | ||
