It cant stop mass zealots in PvP, it cant make anything to zerg in tier1, and in PvT its only usefull against marines which are not the biggest danger for Protoss Not to mention that Sentries are your best counter to mutalisks ! About the good and bad unit post up there, The only unit I find too much of a hard counter is the Immortal. It has 'tank buster' written all over it. It does an insane amount of damage to armored units while taking little from their gigantic blast. It feels too much of a niche for me, but then again, it can serve as a tool in many occasion. It's still a fun unit, and it can't just be massed. The collosus and void ray are quite versatile. They can be used for harassment or to back up an army. They feel more like decent cannons than just niche units. For me, niche would be a unit that is good at only killing one type of unit and that is weak or useless against all others. That's why I took the Immortal which is the perfect counter to tanks, but since it also serves against roaches and ultralisk and thors, it can't be said to be 100% niche. | ||

The immortal outdoes the stalker vs everything that doesn't fly in terms of cost in straight shoot outs and it is good vs everything armoured including structures. I would say that it is a quite versatile, it don't have any obvious vulnerabilities except not being able to target air. | ||

I missed it ingame. - Infestor abilities changes What i dont like: - Mothership Temporal Rift removed. It was rather cool ability. Maybe even cooler than Vortex.  - No Roach/Hydra nerf, especially Roach - No Nydus nerf, it's so imbalanced - No Sentry changes, it kinda sucks in current build Something tells me you play Protoss. ''Boost everything in my race and nerf the others!'' | ||

REALLY hope more people post about this over on b.net forums so it does get fixed.. This has to be considered a bug or i will cry irl for having the AI have priority over my own unit control.. | ||
