Remember oricals? Remember how they are suppose to be a way for Protoss to harass?

It looks so insanely cost efficient. All widow mine needs to do is one shot any of those units (except probe) and it's already payed for its price. Not to mention AoE damage and later kills after cooldown.
I feel like widow mine should cost 50/25 and be single use only just like in BW. Now its damage is much higher than baneling's, auto-tracks target, attacks air, and is not even kamikaze unit, all of that for 75/25.

This is fucking insane I imagine nexus cannon + gateway units will do fine with maybe a cannon or 2 for detection. No idea how long it takes to get a robo and get detection that way, but I don't see that being overpowered.
You could delay him out on the map just kite'ing with stalkers, for like forever, so yah it shouldnt be a problem

I wonder when they will rebuff it's burrow time again to a second... That was pretty balanced, you could literally loose your entire mineral line in a second to a single unit. Wonder why that go patched out? Can't wait to see that again

Observer range 11 vs WM 7 and marine 6 so unless you micro your observer really bad or really far away from you units I dont see a big deal about WM. Calm down, when P players get used to WM you will see that the unit is not OP.
And oracles doesnt melt that fast against marines (in low numbers) and they are fast.

You remember Factory???There are built the Widow Mines.They cost 2 supply and 25 gas.Terran should open with gas if want to have them,so no economic advantage and to be safe you need lot of them,while the P can easy go for 1gate FE because of the MScore and the Planetary Nexus.
Why are bio+mines insane?Your Collosi cant shoot mines?You got no Observers in your army?Collosi outrange mine by 4 so wtf?You dont need to go all the map arround.Just keep your observers with your main army and you will kill lot of useless mines in your way to kill the Terran

Depends on your build; if I go stargate, I try to open with Phoenix > Oracle > Oracle and move up with Stalkers and have the Phoenix lift the first Widow mine, send 1 Oracle to harass workers and the 2nd stay for detection if he gets to burrow one; if Robo, you just have to let probes or Zealots tank widow mine shots and use observers/MSC/Stalkers to fight. Widow mine 1-shots anything early game except Immortal (2-shot), so it's best to just go in with the cheapest units you have to tank the shots. They take forever to re-arm, so a few widow mines isn't necessarily a big deal. It's lategame when they are hell on earth, killing 15 Immortals in 3 seconds.
@ The guy above me: They are talking about rushes and pushes involving Widow Mines. Colossi are way too late for the scenarios they are describing.

Stop throwing random stuff at people screaming it's fucking insane, ok?!?
You know what is fucking insane? You scout 2 gases from Protoss and you absolutely have to build ebay + at least 2 turrets. Then, Protoss, knowing you have to do this in order to stay alive, goes ahead and expands and you are fucked...

It is overpowered lategame in a mech-based composition, but it will take a lot of time for people to realize this. Immortal Archon is hard-countered by Widowmine/Hellbat.
Yes, 1-base Oracle results in a lot of build-order losses.
Yes, Void Ray is probably overpowered.
But that doesn't mean TvP Mech with Widow Mines and Hellbats isn't overpowered as well.

I love the overlord speed. So much easier to scout!

How do people not understand that it's fucking retarded that to beat a factory unit that costs 25 gas and is 2 supply you have to have a fucking 300/200 T3 army that takes ages and an insane amount of gas to tech to? It's dumb as hell. If immortals were not affected by this I'd be ok with it. The immortal was pretty much the only protection protoss had against early/midgame terran factory units. You expect protoss to be more aggressive on the map but give terran a unit that 1 shots your 125/50 stalkers? YThe widow mine is cheaper than a stalker and it fucking 1 shots them AND has fucking splash damage. WTF

You should play the beta more, it's really pretty simple why mines are already really good, you don't have to rush them either you can do the standard broken super fast (at no cost) medivac helion drop, loose nothing and build two mines at your ramp, and without a robo or stargate I can't attack without loosing sentries and stalkers, both of which cost more than a mine.
Mines where good before the buff, and now they are just broken. I can't wait for actually terrans to start playing hots so it can actually be balanced instead of just buffing everything Terran because (bo-ho) mech is harder to build than bio...

It's not.
In fact this may be a much needed buff against stargate transitions.
Right now 80 supply mech armies regularly die to last second void-rays and better widow mine may help with this.

What the fuck ablut pneumatized Carapace?! So you can no longer hide anything from Zerg? It was really hard already, with the increase of the ovie speed in general, but now it's impossible!
Btw, the first HotS season will be about who abuses the broken balance the most, gonna be hilarious i think, it doesn't feel like the game is close to having the balance of wol yet.

If you rely on thors as your only anti air in a mech army, yeah. I've seen the way people play mech in TvP and I'm just sitting there thinking to myself "Why the fuck does this guy have 8 siege tanks against a mass air army?!"
Also overlord speed change is absolutely meaningless.
