 When does the viper come out, because if it is lair tech then you would get detection at the normal speed, unless it came out of the spire......... oh god if this comes out of the spire, detection will not be present for ages! im starting to worry now :O | ||

Terrans need to get Starport-Tech for real mobile detection... So where is the problem? If you don't go Robo as P , you just lose to cloak/burrow etc.. So it'll be just fair, if you don't go Spire as Z , you lose to these situations as well. Getting detection should be a consideration while choosing your tech. Not taken for granted. Even the terran scan is only temporary, since they have no static ground-to-ground defence that can detect. | ||

And you could always build turrets where you want while covering the construction time with scans. Edit : There is a very simple solution, keep overseers (what is wrong with them anyways? I never saw anyone complain about them, and since they cost 50/50 I've seen them in a lot of pro games) and take the silly detection spell away from th viper. That way Blizzard can balance the viper without being hindered by the detection problem. | ||

And please stop saying it's the same for terrans with ravens, they have SCANS it's ridiculous saying it's the same. And you could always build turrets where you want while covering the construction time with scans. It is 200 gas for infinity detectors AND a good all around unit. Zerg detection will be better than ever. | ||

Now it has a spell called Ocular Parasite that gives detection to other units but have seen nowhere where it says it has detection itself. | ||

Its like putting obs at stargate tech. You need to go out of the way for it or you lose to some banshees, but if you do then your midgame army is either slow or shit. So in a way, it's like saying that it comes at infestation pit since that's what you want anyways. Except even not really because ZERG TECH TAKES TWICE AS LONG AS THE OTHER RACES. | ||

You don't have to get more bases than your opponent as Terran or Protoss to be able to throw cost inefficient units at the opponent Thats why we need early bases in the early game, expanding to a 3rd teching to lair and building a spire just won't work to tell DTs waiting at the 3rd to piss off. | ||

Reread the changes and it's a 1 time use spell. However, if it's impossible to tell which unit has the detection, then it could still be really powerful. We'll just have to see, and Zergs may have to make the same sacrifice as Terrans and build their detector buildings for reliable detection early game. | ||

I'm not even sure that this choose a hero detection unit is a good thing for zerg. what unit should be the detector. A random roach which I now have to keep out of the battle? I lose a fighting unit or it might die randomly? I feel like the only good option is indeed the overlord in which case u also need speed. so lair + spire + viper + speed. that does not make sense imo | ||
