Wow, seeing the units in action. I can say I like them, some of the animations look silly (the pulling away)but that can be fixed.

And it looks like all those units are microable and not just a move stuff. Nice, I am happy with this.Haters gonna hate

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.

Can't copy Massive, costs 200/200. Builds out of Robotics bay.

Still, wouldn't hurt to have them lying around but I doubt you would ever get to use them until the late game, where you can afford spending 200/200 to copy a unit.

Probably crap against Terran but looks like it will be amazing against Zerg, provided the new Zerg units aren't massive


If they can't copy massive there is literally no reason to spend more gas than what terran/zerg are spending on their unit when you can just build something of your own for less.

And if there is a change to massive I could definitely see huge balance issues arising. I don't see good things in the future for this unit.

I don't like the mass recall for energy seeing as a lot of protoss have 75 energy 10 minutes into the game. Other than that, everything has me extremely excited.

Or at least concussive shells

They really dont want protoss to use stalkers against terran

So true!

But did anyone expect anything else from Blizz?
I didn't. Blizzard's mapmakers will be forever shitty and last chance is that they add community maps from TL contest.

The Zerg units are great and a perfect addition to the race.

The Protoss units look weird and got even more weird abilties, not a fan of it.

The Terran units got a nice concept behind themself, but the design is just very bad.

At first i thought... "Damn this is gonna ruin balance and shit" ...

Then i started thinking that this just shows that blizzard atleast got the balls to throw things out there and see if it works, and then tweak it.
Set it ablaze!

so disappointing...instead of adding 1-2 solid units which they shouldve done, theyre adding 3 seemingly gimmicky units and taking out the epic ones. the zerg units seem to overlap too much with the infestor / brood lord.


the overseer was "epic"?

Seeing some of this discussion and watching the trailers reminds me of what I used to do during WoW after blizzcon or major patch notes were hinted at since I ran a successful guild. I forbid my guildmates from discussing any expansion or patch that was more than 1 month away or they'd be globally muted for as long as I felt or other such punishments. Jesus, I'm such a buzzkill. But the amount of speculation from things that will 100% guaranteed change before we see them is so meaningless to me. Also, until there's a lot of hands on testing, knowing what is actually good/bad is impossible to tell.

I will say, however, that the removal of the carrier seems wrong to me. Regardless of balance issues or desire to add another air unit, just removing the unit 100% seems sketchy to me given its history.

Price of popularity.

So, a few questions.

First, where is everybody getting the specific details (X unit is Hive Tech, X unit has Y hit points, etc.)? So far, I've only seen one for Protoss and it isn't as specific as some of the info that's been posted here.

Second, I am curious about some particular things. Does a replicated unit get the same hit points as the unit itself, or does it get the replicators hit points? Everyone is very sure the shredder does tremendous, tremendous damage. Are the stats actually available anywhere?

Arc Shield on the Nexus stops 6 pools and maybe even 7 pools, also helps against worker rushes and maybe gives a tiny bit of help against Marine SCV all-ins in low leagues (both SCVs and Marines are light units).

Mass Recall on Nexus is huge. It makes Protoss the authority in deciding where a battle happens. Didn't get a good angle? Recall and suffer minimal losses, possibly force a stim or EMPs that won't really do much. Want to save those 3 trapped DTs (375/375) that just got scanned? Mass recall and morph to Archons. Expand to your enemy's natural and mass recall your army there to defend it, then recall back to Main if they try to counter attack. If you really had to, you could even recall your Warp Prism harass, if it's a double Immortal drop it may be worth it. This is going to be the skill to watch IMO, since it has such a wide variety of possible uses.

The consequence of the new Protoss units is undoubtedly an even greater dependence on Vespiene Gas than is already had.

Copier unit will be great vs Z and T, but I can't see it being terribly useful in PvP. Copy Infestor, fungal, benefit! Copy one of the Pulling units, pull it to its doom. Up against a 1-1-1? Copy a Raven, drop a PDD. Marine fire gone. Your Zealots can now attack the tanks without being melted by DPS. Copying an SCV to make bunkers doesn't work cause you need a Barracks to build it, which requires a Depot which requires a CC, but you can copy to get Mass Orbital Commands in a long term macro game (MULES FOR TOSS!)


Too bad tht won't work
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.
