I fail to see how it would be good in SC2, perhaps someone could enlighten me.

vs Terran it seems by the time it comes out, Terran would just rain down EMPs on the Protoss and every single benefit it would provide is out the window.

vs Zerg I guess the stasis would be okay vs Hive tech but but Mothership is already pretty good with vortex.


Let's see... Vortex affects a smaller area and lasts less than half as long as Stasis. It's also a pain to use because the mothership can't hit-and-run with it like an arbiter can. And of course, you can't build more than one, unlike the arbiter.

Most importantly, the enemy can shove their entire army into a vortex, thus rendering the main draw, splitting the army in half, ineffective. Stasis doesn't have this issue. See IdrA vs. HongUn at MLG Orlando for a key example of this.

Come on Blizzard, there really is NO excuse for screwing this up. All you have to do is post a silhouette - how hard can it be?

Yes but it's standard procedure to let people wait and thus the anticipation grows. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they came out and said they were actually going to wait until the last day of Blizzcon. You guys should learn from the D3 community, don't build hype around anything involving Blizzard games.

God people, arbiter would be TERRIBLE in SC2. You think you can just port a unit like that into SC2 and think it will be just as good?
Vikingslol
Mutaliskslol (with no corsair? yep)
EMPlol
Fungallol

All of these make Arb pretty damn worthless in SC2. You want to get rid of the mothership which can be used effectively against all these units if used properly with an arbiter which would just end up being a huge gas sink, and would be used just as rarely because Carriers suck and there are no corsairs.

GOD people, THINK!

How would it be a bad unit, do you realize the main use of Arbiters in BW was for cloak and recall? The only difference in having Arbiter instead of mothership would be the fact that you can make more than one. Right now all those things you mentioned against it cause the same issues for the mothership and any other spell caster.

Stasis unit or Reaver or there will be hell. EVERY protoss unit is a harass unit.

Just not a strategy I would consider viable with the cost of the mothership
With the cost of the arbiter and fact you can make multiples, recall harass would be a much more viable option

The Silver Surfer has no place in StarCraft. I'd hate this unit with a passion, and would probably switch race if this was it. This is hypothetical, because I'm sure they won't add anything like this now.
