I'd wait for the vod if there is much humor reliant on the video (aside from the dogs), but otherwise I just want to enjoy the show asap. I generally prefer the vods - was too impatient waiting for it this time though and didn't feel I was missing out on much while listening to the mp3. | ||

also whats with this hate about the shredder bieing some imba unit? i'm pretty sure the only thing that it counters is mutas and zerglings for zerg, and for toss zealots... i think everything else in the game outranges it's wave... had this knowledge been brought up we may have been able to get 30 more minutes of actually knoweldgable feedback from the pro's instead of wastefull bashing on this unit. but none the less in enjoyed the show and thought tyler, artosis, and especially destiny's feedback was really great, but i honestly like incontrol and watch his stream a lot but from this show in perticular it just makes him look less knowledgable than i think he actually is and more of just a terran bashing troll. i really agree with destiny and artosis's answer about players switching over to hots as well because the money is in the wol tournaments, i think it's going to be a while before the top level players switch to hots. | ||

Gogo Temporal Raptor that attacks your natural before you start building it and the only way to prevent that is to pre-emptively fungal/storm the nearby areas before you start building the natural.  Or maybe it eliminates some tech structure in the past causing some of your units to disappear in the current timeline. And the only way to detect it is to watch the replay lol. | ||

Because it basically discourages multitasking (ling runbys).. personally I don't think there should be another unit that helps Terran to turtle | ||

If you've got a bunch of shredders at key locations, either they can't do the runby at all, or it gets slowed down a fuck ton from having to kill the shredders first. Either way, it's a massive advantage for the mech player to have this unit, I"m not sure it's OP but it's definitely going to be powerful. | ||

That is how you're going to start your post. :/ i'm glad he won him over on the oracle i think that unit has a lot of potential, and i'm actually an incontrol fan and enjoy his play and commentary and well thought opinions, however i just felt that in this episode what we got out of incontrol is a lot of trolling toward terrans, when even destiny stated he thought that terrans got sort of shafted with these units. i don't necisarrily agree that terrans got shafted, but just the trolling toward terrans generated mainly by incontrol just seemed really off topic and without much understanding of how these units work, and that's not necissarily his fault, but just the fault of no terran player with knowledge of the units being on the show i guess. but i just felt that to be the case and more so coming from incontrol than everyone else. i think understanding the idea behind these changes are the most important not the numbers at this stage and just trolling about how op something is isn't really entertaining or usefull. | ||

But now you got Charging Ultras, the viper that can make siege tanks useless if not moved or positioned correctly. | ||

I personally think incontrol is looking at it in the wrong way entirely. I see enormous potential for Blizzard to goof up on the Protoss units especially, and of course they will err on the side of weakness. I don't see units that scream 'stable' and 'easily balanced'. I see units that will vacillate from op to worthless very quickly. The void ray is the poster child of the Protoss race in this regard. | ||

btw, shredder isn't that useful as many of you think. A ton of units outranges it, and practically worthless against Protoss. It also severely cuts into your siege tank production that you desperately need against zerg | ||

We have to wait to see how everythign fits together/synergizes before we can talk about balance. Arbitrarily inserting a new unit theoretically into current game play is not a productive approach. | ||
