The new protoss units don't sound very fun to me.

Replicant:
If I wanted to use zerg or terran units, I would play zerg or terran. These things sound like such a pain in the ass to micro: Have to get it melee range of an enemy unit, cast the spell, then get away without losing the replicant. Seems very micro-intensive, especially against concussive shell. So to me this unit sounds like a big APM-dump that I can use to do something that I can also achieve just by changing my race before the match starts.


Ok, so maybe i am dumb, but i dont get your post.

1. The Replicant allows you to use your enemy units in combination with your own. Changing to Terran limits your unit choice to pure terran, picking zerg allows you to control your enemy units for a very short amount of time. So "just changing my race" doesnt work.

2. You dont need to get in melee range.

But maybe its not me who is dumb.


according to askjoshy, they do have to get into melee range.

Replicants in the gameplay trailer were able to copy siege tanks up a ramp with a full wall of marines between them, though.


Could have been something they did just for the video. We'll have to wait for the actual dev panel at 3pm PST

What's funny is im seeing alot of Complaints from Terran and Protoss but you guys got 3 new units Zerg only got 2 .

HOTS looking to be awesome ....

Toss lost at least 2, though. Net gain of 1, same for Z.


You Do Realise Protoss initially had around 4-5 more unique units compared to Zergs number of Unique Units.

I just noticed in the Polls 90% of the Zerg were happy with their 2 new units. While the Protoss and Protoss were 50% satisfied and the Terran 35%-65% i think.

Just saying the polls show you guys aren't as satisifed as Zergs but you got more *new* units i'm not referring to Net Gain (since you already had way many more unique Units in WOL)

Man, that Viper grap + neural parasite is going to SUCK for toss.

You built 6 colossi? Well he's got 6 infestors and 6 vipers. Now they're zerg units. It also just makes using high tech units pointless.

Yah... it would completely counter ANY unit that it wanted to..... its ridiculous..


Protoss hasn't been doing colosus vs zerg for a while. Its 6 gate deny third into templar tech. Teh grappel takes 100 energy and the viper takes how much gas? Infestor +Energy upgrade + NP upgrade + Viper and waiting for energy. By that time you'll be able to hit a sick timing with storms and FF's. Shouldn't worry about it too much.
wot?

It's a little more powerful than disruption web. It appears to not only prevent any units under it from executing range attacks, but ALSO prevents CASTING.

So no storm. no stim. no fungal growth. if you are under that spell.

i dont get why after a few hours people still think that hellion transforming is a new unit

because... it is? Is the baneling a new unit? Yes.


It's not a new unit, you don't consider an unsieged tank and a sieged tank two separate units do you? Because with the hellion it's the same principle.
Live it up.

Wait wait wait from someone's twitter the viper costs 200 gas? So for zerg to have mobile detection he needs 200 gas?

If it stays this way dts can deny a zergs third for a loooong time :/

It looks like there is a lot more micro intensive abilities which may raise skill ceiling

that we are getting new units is cool, it's really much appreciated. Honestly though, I'm not feeling the new units except the protoss. The flying defiler looks a bit retarded even, but what counts is how they look ingame so gonna wait on judging them.
