I'm just glad they didn't remove the Observer for Protoss. I was worried there for a moment because of the Oracle. Also happy that the Mothership is gone, but T_T about the Carrier.

It's not just you. It looks like if Metalopolis and Slag Pits had a baby, only the SP genes were the dominant ones....


Ah ok. I got scared when a bunch of people said they liked it, thought i was going insane or something.

so with 150/200 cost for Oracle I'm pretty sure it will be as "useful" as overseer.

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


You could totally save them up. Build a shit ton of them. Then wait for your opponent to do something. Just have one voidray ready, one immortal, collosus maybe, whatevers. You see his army and BAM you got the counter right away. Idk just an idea. And I'm sure there's a lot I havn't thought of, but protoss having seige tanks could be huge. Not to mention medivacs.

It is impossible to think of any situation were a Replicant would be useful and even if there was a situation it wouldn't be any fun to use. Imagine trying to micro these stupid little probes into a PvZ battle trying to steal an infestor wtf? It would only make sense if you could take the big units but I;m not going to build thse for a "chance" to get myself a marauder or roach or infestor,

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.


The Replicants sound super awesome--it's essentially free Mind Control for any unit you want. Definitely makes Protoss sound more alien-y imo.

But I can't help but think SC2 is turning into Transformers (Michael Bay or not)

For all of those complaining about the Protoss units... Protoss has ALWAYS been the gimmicky spell centric race... If anyone even mutters about Motherships being overpowered or even defensive recalls being overpowered look at broodwar... where recalls and stasis rule the PvT Meta... Just be excited and happy. If anything is legitimately retarded they'll attempt to fix it. They've been getting better at that.

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.


I feel as if we should be able to mute you now and not let you see any of this discussion... Give you a taste of your own medicine. :>

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.

Can you define "gimmicky" and "epic" to me, thanks.


Gimmicky usually means a unit that doesn't do damage, or only does damage in very specific ways (e.g. the Terran Whirlwindy thing that only does damage if YOU come to IT).

Sounds like a Lurker or burrowed Banelings...
Gimmicky would be like DT rush vs Zerg, less and less common as the metagame shifts, not like the Terran thing.

really though warhound was an upgrade to the scv....

and apparently the protoss design team had one idea in mine... "what if they had more round units?"
There is no failure. Only feedback.

Still confused about a lot of this, not totally happy with the Protoss changes. The Terran changes seem kind of weak as well but I think Terran has quite a variety of units and abilities already.

Construct-able rocks seems downright silly.

I'm underwhelmed by the new Protoss units, the new Nexus kinda makes up for it.

of course shit needs to get balanced but why are people so scared? they really didnt just go for the "1 unit per race" thing but rather added so much that no one can even imagine how the game will play now.

i think the game will become much better and surely will require many patches

i mean does anyone really think the game will become worse? those people should get bitch slapped
