Once again Blizzard misses the point entirely. I'm hoping there will be more changes to the core "macro" mechanics more than anything. I'm not saying that there is somehow an imbalance between chrono/inject,mules and warp-in, more that they encourage all-in play and force blizzard to intentionally weaken certain early tier units at the cost of their usefulness in lategame.

Also, give zerg a 1 supply unit again in tier 1.5 plz? I'm not a huge fan of the roach (I think it's HP is way too high for a Zerg unit), but even a nerf/sidegrade to its stats and changing it to 1 supply would be fine.

yeah I kind of have this feeling too. There's a lot of abilities now and if they want every single one to be used.... it's almost impossible to make it fun or fair across the races.

That shredder terran thing seems to be something you want to drop in an enemy worker line (or is it a building?).

What i don't like about the Swarm Host: again a Broodling style attack - i hate such dumb units that just hinder movement and it's just harder to balance this right (HP of those and damage) than a flat attack like the Lurker did.

Didn't they wanted to make SC2 more understandable for the Viewer?

Anyway - i don't actually know if those spawns actually can be attack or how they behave - but i can image Links blocked by those too - so could end up working against oneself.


I actually think it's an incredibly awesome unit that really fits with the zerg swarm flavor, while also providing space control. From what I've read, they spawn units at an ever increasing rate the longer they are burrowed, until they reach the maximum, so once they hit max, having a few in one spot is going to have a pretty strong short duration army that can't go very far. But the units they spawn as hard as zealots, so they're useful. If they aren't dealt with soon I can see them annihilating defensive lines, and they sound really good for protecting a specific location as well.


We need to know more about how the spawning works. Is it on all the time? Can you rally these like you would a building? How long do the locusts last? Etc.

If moving burrowed banes need hive tech then there is more than enough time to get the detection needed. It still seems like it'd be too powerful...but if it's obviously broken it'll get pulled sooner or later, so I'm not worried.

So your argument for keeping carriers in is that they're a good way to kill yourself?

:p


It's an iconic unit from the lore of the Starcraft Universe.

Ghost cloak changed and now spends a specific amount of energy, lasting for a certain period of time

Ghost cloak is no longer an on/off skill

Battlecruiser gets a cooldown skill called "limit reactor"(?) that boosts movement speed

Reaper loses d8 charge attack

Reaper gains a HP recovery skill

Blizzard needs to stop making every terran unit a transformer, makes terran feel like a fucking cartoon. The warhound looks like something from Banjoo Kazooie from the n64. This is a joke right? Battlehelion? wtf man. I swear the art team for terran is having an identity crysis, theres no consistency with the art style and atmosphere for terran units. Each unit feels like it comes from a different video game or tv show.

Its tactical way reduce ammount of Terran players at Code S with out nerfing the race

im on the fence bout many things. Burrowed MOVING banelings though is ridiculously overpowered. That shit better not make it in. Burrowed Bling landmines can already completely wreck a terran army, now they fucking move?


So we can't punish you for not having a detector with your army?

Seriously. If they're not going to nerf detection especially terran) then they might as well make more covert stuff.

Well maybe if the Carrier didn't suck Tassadar could have used it to kill the overmind without having to go all kamikaze on it :p

if that's true then they should go back to 90s algorithms and make up campaign units and randomly hope (after some patches) that it makes a decent game

If they are as fast as the Broodlings from Broodlords they will do damage, even if the opponent is trying to kite them.

You know they deal 16 damage but I really really doubt they are gonna be as strong as zealots. Probably very low hp / no armor.
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity
