Fuck it i'm playing BW until all the initial drama blows over~ :3

Very excited about all these changes, I really hope the terran gets better though, and I'd rather not have it be that one race is completely dominant because of blatant imba for the first 6 months of the game before blizzard fixes it ^_^

(no terran jokes please )
memes are a dish best served dank

First impressions :

1- Zergs are probably happy. They get their lurker-like unit back, their badass flying caster defiler-like.

2- Protoss are weird. The new units seems wtf-esque. The new nexus abilities too. Like if it was a completely different game. Am I the only one who tought about Blade Runner when I heard the “replicant” ?

3- Terran new units don’t seems to completely change the way the race is played. Goliath-like mech unit to replace the thor. The combat-hellion is a good idea I think, I can see moving hellions to towers, transforming to keep it safe, etc. I wonder what will happen to the marauder/reapers. Are they kept into the game ? The combat-hellion seems to be fulfilling the beefy role the marauder had. But then only racks units would be marine-reaper-ghosts ?

But anyway, these are only impressions, we should wait for the conference to fully judge these.

p.s: I understand the Thor removal, but I will miss it


The new protoss changes are very weird. I'm going to lament on Carriers. Not only Carriers did not see much use in the SC2 scene, Carriers will also be removed from the next expansion as well

Replicants...So now Protoss can make Replicants and get access to every non-massive unit in the game? As if Collosi aren't bad enough (for Terran, although you only need to get 2 Starports with Reactors attached).

Please Blizzard, don't remove the Thors. I will miss them and their :"DROPPING THE HAMMAH!" quote
Well, at least we have Combat-Hellions now. Gives Hellions another purpose other than harrasment.

Zerg...I don't play Zerg, but burrowed moving Banelings? O.o

One more thing: Blizzard, get rid of that lame Tempest unit and give me buffed Carriers instead. Thx.



Keep moving forward

I really want hydra speed numbers, they had better be actually fast. At least keep up with speed roaches.

nonono you steal an scv then build sensor towers all over your base
anti drop mechanism ftw

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

Don't think it would work with immortals since they're mechanical. We could put zealots in?

is it me or terran got the short end of the stick
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

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

More easily massable than the carrier, at least.


but carrier had 8 little ships with it which made it like a fleet compared to the 1 big lightning ship tht is a buffed pheonix >.>.

From Psystarcraft at Blizzcon:

"The new HotS units are sick! Off-creep speed upgrade for hydras, burrow charge ability for ultras, new infestation pit unit like a lurker, but spawns two high-dps units every 15 seconds or so while burrowed. Lair tech caster flyer Viper that can make units detectors, spawn a cloud that disables casting and ranged attack, and a tentacle that can pull a unit in from long range. Corrupters now have a channeled ability against building that gives one mineral a second and does 1dps."

Bolded points I haven't seen in this thread.

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.

[image loading]

that's..
nevermind


HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I was wondering about this myself. However my theory is that replicating a replicator produces Repli-Carter.


I think the question should be "What if a replicant tries to replicate a replicant that's trying to replicate it?"

Figure that out.

Why is this thread called "leaked..."? I mean, Blizzard didnt leak the new units by accident, they revealed them during a large presentation of new hots features.

There aren't any new terran units lol. The hellion is the only thing with new function. The new goliath is going to replace the thor. The spine crawler is probably a planetary fortress replacement.

Yes. They play against marines, and if they do well we get resources.

Idk why the terran players are complaining, I'm terran and I'm fucking stoked. TvP mech? YEH. Medivac/shredder micro to control space and harass? yup.


I'm excited for TvT evolving more and more options in TvP. I just think TvZ is gonna be hell with moveable burrowed banelings, borrowed units with waves of attackers, and another spellcaster that screws up the T army. Fungal AND reverse dark swarm? That sounds insane. I'd at least hope the infestor gets toned down to compensate for the viper.

EDIT- just saw the ultralisk burrow thing. Seriously, is Zerg just going to be able to fight while inifinitely invisible now?
