Without Seeker Missile with Aoe there's nothing that stops a few BC's + Vikings backed up by a some tanks other than having more Vikings . Forgetting the Thor change? You can use its standard missiles to splash the vikings, or the new ones to out range them, then Seeker the cruisers to they cant counter your Thors. | ||

Should be pretty much the same as DT rushes were before, it's just not that expensive for P, but doesn't come out faster. | ||

It must be faster, the shrine costs 150 less gas. How long does it take to mine 150 gas? 1min from 2 geysers? This should mean that the DT arrives (1min?) earlier at my base. | ||

It's not faster, or at least significantly, because they are still limited to the build time of Gate -> Core -> Twilight -> Shrine, it's just they don't have to get as much gas for it. If protoss does a real DT rush, there should never be a break between starting each building. | ||

1) Armory upgrades being combined (at first i thought it was just weapons but it's both, holy crap) 2) Everything about medivacs. Combat shield marines can almost survive storms. Insane. The boost is also an amazing escape mechanism, from getting away from warped in templar to speeding up drops to escaping mutalisks. I can see nerfs happening on this very quickly. 3) Infestors getting nerfed to hell. Not super against this but if ravens now block FG because it's a missile, no one will ever go infestor ever again. I agree with 70HP IT and them not scaling with upgrades, but I'm not sure I agree with both at the same time. 4) Oracles have an attack now, and it MELTS worker lines. MELTS. You thought pre-nerf BFH was bad? You ain't seen nothing yet. That's all I've really got for now. Excited for finals week to be over so I can mess around more in depth with the changes, but from watching streams stuff looks pretty crazy. I like it. The DotA "make everything imba" school of thought is entertaining to say the least. | ||

This is coming from someone who plays mech, but good tank spread (don't have 2 on top of each other) and good viking or now thor control can stop vipers being a massive pain so it's really viable still. Also don't underestimate the importance of mines against that composition. You'll have less tanks, but get a lot of mines. 4) Oracles have an attack now, and it MELTS worker lines. MELTS.

I have around 500 games played on HotS, top8 GM constantly (NSHGolem BTW if you see me on ladder) | ||

I'm a bit scared about bio in zvt though. SUPER strong MMM with the medivac upgrade, and nerfed infestors.... Will bio be to much? | ||

Like 2/2 Vikings, Seeker missile (PDD maybe?), etc...? They might get off some blinding cloud, but lose all vipers and if you spread well they should not hit everything so you can hold Roach/Hydra? Just curious.. Ill try myself as soon as get home.. | ||
