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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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 | ||
