OH YEA? How do you suppose expanding on any of the first two maps as a zerg? Do you see the positional imbalance in the top right vs bottom left position and bottom right vs top right in map #1, do you? Well you should because these maps are all imbalanced. And a trillion other things | ||

Stupid: Ultra charge- wtf warhound- what is wrong with the goliath!? hellion ability- this is starcraft, not transformers. Stop. At least viking's morphing changed their ability to attack. Replicant- why not just give us MC back? O_o? Clearly the intention. Thor- Let's get rid of the MS, because it wasn't well used, and give T a unit with the same concept. Smart. Ghost cloaking- I don't get it. why? Awesome: Everything else. Of note, recall is amazing, the Viper sounds like a really cool unit, Banelings burrowed movement, Hydra speed. Mostly Z changes. | ||

Yeah, I really REALLY like it, even if it is weak. Protoss is very weak early on to aggression, and this will help them defend without having to sacrifice tech and units for a forge and cannons. It's not powerful enough to be useful on aggression and it's a chrono boost sacrifice, so it's not exactly free or spammable, but it could be really useful against things like early bio pressure etc. | ||

Really good article posted here that puts the new protoss units into better perspective. After reading, this... damn. And I thought Zerg got the most out of this expansion. Orcales and Replicants are such awesome units. Imagine a player drops a large army into your base. Phase out the buildings with your oracles until you mass recall your army back to the nexus to deal with the drop. And with replicants, become a copy of an enemy SCV, escape with a warp prism, and a few minutes of building later, you have Protoss MULEs. So much strategic potential with these new units. | ||

I disagree. The biggest thing is the size of the Thor, which returns to it's size during the Alpha / Beta | ||

Zerg just doesn't get to scout now? Not cool, not strategic. | ||

It'll still melt in seconds to its counters and be lackluster anti-air. Even with an off-creep speed buff I don't see the point in making hydralisks for anything other than anti-air. It, like the carrier, is just sort of a legacy unit whose role has been rendered obsolete and is too easily countered to be worth its cost. Seeing as the new burrowing unit is made from the infestation pit, the Hydra Den still seems like a very dead-end, niche tech. I was hoping for a bigger change to the Hydralisk, like changing its damage type, range, or HP values. | ||

On October 22 2011 05:42 arsenic wrote: The new Nexus ability to Mass Recall for 75 energy is absolutely ridiculous. There had better be some kind of drawback to using it or else it will be way too good allowing for Protoss to basically cover up any mistakes they make with their units, engage and positioning in the mid and late game. We shouldn't make the game -more- forgiving in this aspect, at least not to this degree. Also, it makes counterattacking a Protoss base nearly impossible and to be honest, there are many situations where it's a necessity just due to the fact that you're behind and the Protoss army would obliterate you in a head to head. A counter attack is the only way to potentially get back into the game but this ability would basically let the Protoss attack into your base, take some stuff out and as soon as they realize you are counter attacking, warp back to their base, defend your counter, then repeat all over again setting you further and further back without sustaining any real losses. I really hope this ability gets removed or nerfed before the game gets released... probably you'll only be able to recall units that are out of combat so except vanished rogues/invisibility mages you'll have to wait 6 seconds for units to stop fighting or dots to fade | ||
