You know those neutral depots they place on the map? Well you replicate one of those and you use another Protoss unit called the Phantommule. The phantommule has a researchable ability that when researched can raise and lower nnemy/friendly supply depots as well bring overloads down to the ground. Since Terrans can now build SCV outs of supplydepots you (the protoss player) build an SCV and start teching to a raven. | ||

Recall will allow your slow units to leave your base in early game. Nobody will spend energy beyond the first few on chronoboost. It's easy to see how the new abilities will be used in PvZ and PvP, but it's less clear how good they'll be in PvT. I'm not so sure. Not using chrono might end up costing you a lot of econ, so it will probably be about balancing between chrono on probes and tech, and shield/recalls. | ||

Ya but it was an AoE attack so numbers didnt matter. If it were 40 mutas or if it wer 20 it would sitll do the same amount of dmg though I do find it interesting they didnt just add a 4th Tempest or something so that we could see the mutas get owned. | ||

Yes... a 4gate will have to either hit 30 seconds later, or have 0 energy on nexus. You clearly do not know protoss at any kind of high level at all | ||

In lategame Protoss is now able to dodge fights until they think its an engagement that favors them. It also feels a bit like War3 , (portal back to main) ... and I don't really like that. Maybe the nexus should be destroyed after the recall, because as it is, Protoss will either recall away in the lategame or win the fight. Well you don't know for instance what kind of radius the recall has | ||

Seriously, lets put more anti-mech mechanics in the game because TvX didn't have enough bio play. You got siege tanks? It's no problem, I teleport ultralisk on top. You will be getting new mech units, don't focus on one thing you don't like. Also if anyone remembers when they showed the units for WOL they ended up removing/changing everything so it doesn't even matter that much, Lets wait for a beta/release to really T__T people ! | ||

Protoss gets Dark Archons, Corsairs with Contamination, and flying Archons. Terran gets Goliaths, Firebats, and mobile Spider Mines. Time to find $50. | ||

I really hope 8 marines won't out-DPS those "big broodlins", as they do not sound at all like a counter to marines... | ||
