Shredder gives the terran a "defensive structure" that doesn't require marines I suppose. I have a feeling they might make this thing too OP though since it only works by itself. I got a feeling it will be able to kill near infinite zerglings alone, which is dumb. Yeah it'll be tough to slip units past it until you pull a Terran unit into the.shredder's range with the Viper and shut it down completely. That sounds like a pretty badass relationship to me. | ||

I voted yes for Z and P, no for T. Because the Terran units are pretty lame other than the semi-unrevealed one. I voted on all the polls, too. I voted yes for Z and T, no for P. I think the zerg and terran units bring more to the table in terms of strategies and gameplay. Zerg gets a dark swarm and a lurker type unit that can control a zone. The new goliath type unit brings a much needed mobile anti-air to mech. Thors are too freaking slow against mutalisks. The shredder, hopefully, can control space and protect siege tanks from getting rush, like spider mines used to do. It's P I voted no for since the oracle sounds gimmicky, the replicant sounds lame (if people want to control T/Z units, they can choose to play T/Z) and the tempest sounds like a dumbed down carrier that has a more straightforward a-move mechanic. | ||

Being able to spawn units, that can die as they are born, is a significantly weaker power. Yes, for example vs. a pack of marines (or vs. everything ranged) this unit gonna be useless without support because those broodlings won't even reach the ranged unit. Lurkers were way better... Also Vipers looks really OP, I mean you fly and grab few colossus or thors or tanks, wow just unreal  | ||

There is no way replicants will be able to take workers, think about warp prism/storm drop, but just have 1 replicant and 2 templar, then steal an SCV and suddenly mid/late game you can make orbital commands instead of nexus. And have mules. That said I dislike the move towards so many spellcasters, maybe not from a gameplay perspective, but from an Esports perspective, it makes it more confusing as to what's going on. I prefer the tactical element of unit positioning. | ||
