Remove 250mm cannons and give Thors Haywire missiles. Energy bar doesn't appear until researched. Same with BCs and energy. Raven HSM removed and replaced with Irradiate. PDD casting range increased to 9. Reaper is hopeless, no matter how you change it, it still will be useless past early game harassment because of build time, cost and lack of HP. Medivacs are fine Tanks do full damage against shields. EMP radius buffed and snipe made to be 35+10 light Concussive shells made a manual ability and marauder damage changed to 10+5 armoured Carriers changed according to Nony's video, interceptors healed when returned to carrier and reduced build time Voidrays really have no role anymore because of the tempest, probably just remove it Zealot charge changed to manual activation Mothership no longer able to be NP'd, vortex changed to stasis field. Infestors movement speed decreased and Fungal made into projectile, progressive slow instead of rooting. IT longer spawn time or more energy. Corruptor corruption ability removed. Less damage, less speed or stay the same, more range to encourage micro. Overseers are fine except contamination which doesn't fit well with the role of the overseer. | ||

I personally see the sentry + FF as more damaging than the colossus, but if the colossus is nerfed that may uncover the stupidity that is FF and th weak ness of the gateway unit so that may turn out well... | ||

I've almost never seen Devourers used in a pro PvZ aside from Stork vs GGplay. The community didn't have a chance to ask for change in original SC. In fact there were many bad units in BW that were rarely used. | ||

Wow, i did not know about that at all... what the heck do we need the tempest for if we change the carrier back? XD This would also keep viking vs carrier from being boring, since there is micro involved with trying to mess up the carrier's leash and such. Right now viking vs tempest is pretty boring, just kiting or chasing. And tempest and carrier seem to overlap... so if this tempest stays as this unit that deals with infestor/BL, then what will they do with the carrier? Remove it? They said they're considering changing the carriers but want to focus on HotS units (or does he mean he wants the players to focus on giving feedback on the HotS units, since they've already shared their thoughts on the Carrier) I hope it's the latter, because if they make the tempest a boring unit but deals with infestor/BL, that would suck, cus then carrier isn't really needed. | ||

Protoss right now lacks an air superiority unit that is not a capital ship. Tempest and Voidrays are probably a poor attempt at filling that gap. | ||

It sounds very exciting though and will allow for better hellbats (with no bio tag) and better bio-mech mix compositions! | ||
