Or it comes on our Hatcheries, which would have energy, and use said energy to detect cloaked units whenever we want. You DO play SC2, right? The reason Overseers are required atm is because they come out as soon as you hit Lair, which is enough time for DTs and, in some cases, cloaked Banshees. Not to mention they more than pay for themselves in the information they provide through scouting once hitting Lair. IF Vipers are the only means of mobile detection they would have to be available at Lair tech rather than Infestation Pit because they would come a bit too late. However everything is just speculation and all I was saying is that I foresee them making changes because of this. And if the SC2: WoL beta taught us anything it's that a LOT of things will change. | ||

Their ground based attacks are still single target so no major change there. The Oracle will be interesting. Personally i'd rather kill harvesters but if they make the mineral deny be cheap and easy to apply from range i could go for that. i think it has to be at least one of those things because the enemy get's to keep there harvester which can be used for other things/at a later time. Even with a good range on the unit. Maps can be made to make the unit too difficult to use. Shattered temple comes to mind. | ||

The trailer obviously shows a bunch turning into sieged tanks, but we were also told you need to be in melee range. Is this a one time thing after you are in melee range and then every replicator afterwards can transform into anything? In the video it looked like the replicators targeted the Tanks at range. You could see a little flying blue energy thing as they transported. Having to get into melee range would be stupid. | ||

And you can move your crawlers, ravens are higher tech than vipers and very fragile, while vipers can give detection to other units and stay save. | ||

New Nexus Spells: A+++ Mass Recall as a core Protoss mechanic makes a ton of sense and will help the race enormously. With how expensive Toss units are, and how ineffective they typically are in small numbers, it is very difficult to commit with enough of your forces to do damage without setting up a scenario where you either win the game outright, or lose your army and therefore the game. The new defensive spells seems purely to give defender's advantage back to early game PvP, which is much needed. Oracle: A-. A powerful scouting tool (that synergizes well with CB--see what they're making, cb out the counter) that also has a potent "get in, get out" harassment power that doesn't expose your unit to harm the way Phoenix or Void harass does. Its not quite Reaver-Shuttle, but if handled properly I could see it being a very potent weapon in the Protoss arsenal. Replicator: C+/TBD. Not sure about this. The video shows it replicating from range, which could be crazily potent. But Joshy said it required melee, which seems so micro-intensive and niche as to be nearly useless. This unit worries me, because I think balancing it could be very hard, and it will mainly be used to set up specific broken unit combos like Fungal Growth+Psi Storm, or SCV repair+Colossi. Also, does it work on Protoss units. We need to learn more about this. Tempest: B. I'll miss Carriers, but if we finally get a viable Protoss capital ship I'll be okay with it. With Mass Recall moved to the nexus, and Vortex so problematic given that they've been unable to figure out a way to remove Archon Toilet, the Mothership would seem a prime target for removal as well. | ||
