Steal an scv, build a bunker, put immortals inside.

You misspelled "useless"


heh

replicants will be useless unless they have something like 100 hp.


Even then, I can't really see a situation where they would ever be valuable for stealing an enemy unit. MAYBE having them disrupting reinforcement routes if your opponent makes the mistake of rallying instead of sending units in a ball.

They might be an interesting macro tool if they're cheap/fast to build. Zerg have inject larva, protoss have replicant energy. Something like that.



They don't steal, they "copy". So.....

I'll reserve judgment until I see the cost of and mechanics of the replicant.

Tempest looks extremely boring, I don't understand the role it fills, Its still gonna get shredded by mass marines/mass hydras since it does high damage single target dps Air To ground (which is exactly similar to void rays).

I hate the new air caster, I want to be able to do serious damage to mineral lines like BFH drops or banshees, not cast quaint little bubbles which just delay economy without actually doing any tangible damage.

I'm actually really pissed off right now.

I am guessing its good vs mutas if you have go a stargate opening. These changes are not really bad, they just don't make the game more fun.

P gets an upgraded nexus, Z get psuedo lurkers.

when blizzard took out the Thor , FOR WHAT DID I BOUGHT THAT F***** Collectors EDITION?

i hope they will do another "Special" unit xD


Do we have confirmation on the thor being removed? Or just speculation because of overlapping roles. Carriers were removed because nobody ever made them except Hong Un.


Can anyone confirme that thors are beein removed?

It's made up of nanobots. Meaning that's probably how it has the ability to shapeshift etc.

you have a unit that can make enemy units.

What if Replicants try to replicate Replicants?

Like an actor trying to act like himself. Tons of philosophical potential.

Quick, make a philoraptor with this question.

that's..
nevermind


HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I was wondering about this myself. However my theory is that replicating a replicator produces Repli-Carter.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

My worry is that it's pretty hard to balance a unit that can be any unit.

The new "mine" is 150/150 and probably costs food ?
It seems to me it's more a limited lurker than a spider mine...

Well it stomps mutas I'd imagine, but it's an expensive (and probably clumsy) capital ship that will exist only in small numbers - so either it'll suck, or blow mutas out of the game entirely. Kinda hard-countery.

I imagine vikings will still wreck it so not much to consider there :o

If the tempest is going to be capital ship size, fleets are going to look ridiculous ;-;



Fleets? Tempest costs 300/300 and 6 supply. Mass that.


tempests are just boring compared to carriers. i wish they fixed carriers instead

noticed tempest only as a 75 sec build time. why couldn't they have reduced carrier build time? or increased movement speed?

anti drop mechanism ftw


You want anti-drop? Recall on Nexus. GG

recall is definitely going to be at least 100 energy
4 chronoboosts
that's like, 40 seconds off an upgrade or a little over 2 probes

but i guess that's better than actually being dropped

Why build sensors towers and PF when you can have MULES and marines

My best guess is that it's a swarm of nanobots.

ugh, that feels more terran than protoss to me
