The more I think about the changes the more I like them. Seems the skillceiling will be raised quite a lot with HoS. Some things seem a tad bit OP, but thats cool, and its no point in crying yet. I remember how much things changed in beta, and tons of stuff will change in HoS alpha/beta. The things we read now are definitely not written in stone... its more of an outline of what we might get.

Holy crap, are people seriously doing this much bitching before even having played the game? If I remember correctly, lots of units were either drastically changed or completely removed during the WoL alpha/beta. What is to say that the same won't happen with HotS? All the haters should relax a little bit. As much as we love to rag on Blizzard for game balance reasons, they have done a reasonably good job with SC2 so far.


Personally, the only thing I dislike about current Starcraft 2 is PvP. I can get a 50% winrate as Protoss in PvP but I don't have fun. Win or lose, PvP is not fun for me. So I play random. When I hit PvP on the ladder I simply leave the game.

This expansion doesn't seem to change anything about PvP. Hopefully the new Nexus ability can reign in 4-gate and other early gateway unit pressures. But I am very unsold on that concept.

The main thing about PvP I hate is the Colossus. None of the new units nor ability seem to do anything to stop 7 Colossus from being built and walking over everything. To me, Colossus are the least fun unit in the game. On paper they look cool. In practice they are not fun. I want to be Protoss but I can't stand 1/3 of my games being terribly unfun. I was hoping this expansion would change that.

I thought the Colossus was the most, or perhaps the second most hated unit in the game. I was hoping it would get changed or removed. I like how the Zerg have a new and effective way of dealing with it but that doesn't help in PvP


DT rush into Chargelot DT salvage into Archons? Experimental Phoenix PvP? Or ye olde 4 Gate? there are still a number of options in PvP against mass Colossus.

Everything toss gets besides the new observer is just gimmicky... Why give us a different carrier when we hardly used the first one. Fleet beacon is the least built structure so we will never use the new carrier. On the other hand Zerg gets 2 GAME CHANGING units with great abilities and many uses. To me this expansion looks like a very long and painful road for protoss.


did you completely forget the replication unit? You can mimmick ANY unit
, even those OP terran/zerg units. Toss now has an infestor.

Someone mentioned only having one thor, well guess what? You got goliaths now.

First, you can only mimic non massive. Second.. 200/200 for one. Better build your own damn unit instead lol

Some really interesting changes now that Ive read them a few times. The thor change makes sense with the new goliath, the moving burrowed banes just sounds ridiculously awesome. Terrans are REALLY going to have to add ravens.

really interesting. there's going to be a beta right? i have to imagine some of this gets tweaked very quickly. a few of the abilities seem either OP or kind of pointless/ridiculous (i'm thinking of the roping in of the collossus and this stupid-sounding thing the corrupter supposedly does now, respectively.)

still very cool that they're willing to put such off the wall units in the game. i hope most of them work out. glad zerg got cool toys, feel kinda bad for protoss, terran already has everything they need so who cares. though the shredder thing could be interesting i suppose.


have we found out where the viper and swarmhost come from? i know viper requires lair and swarmhost requires infestation pit, but do we know what they morph from? they both kinda look like they morph from the hydralisk, which would be a cool spin on the unit - take an all-around DPS unit and choose to dedicate it to utility spellcasting or siege damage... or is it siege? what would you call what this thing does? position busting? i guess that's siegeing. would be a clever solution to the problem of hydralisks only being useful during 5 minutes of an average game. anyway, gonna sit here and wait for confirmation on the details.

There are too many new stuff, the game will never be balanced this way.
I have a feeling HotS will be a huge clusterfuck and it will destroy SC2 esports as it is now.
RTS is all about balance, goodluck with that now Blizzard.


You literally have ZERO knowledge of what these units do.

It's the same thing as going through the Brood War manual, reading the unit descriptions, and making a judgment call from that.

Jesus.

this is just stupid. the entire reason fleet beacons were never built was because fleet beacon units suck. if there were a fleet beacon unit that was actually good, then there'd be a reason to build one.


Yea, his logic makes no sense.


The changes look interesting, i can see at least a couple of them not making it to release. Some of the new abilities seem a little gimmicky and don't feel like Starcraft as much. We'll have to see it play out tho, the only thing i'm sure tht i don't like is the Collapsable Rocks, which is really stupid and i hope it dosen't make it into the game,

That ability the protoss can use on mineral patches has a stupid name, entomb. They should call it shield projection or forcefield projection.
