Blizzard needs to get away from the abstract looking units... the new protoss ships have no character. Remember how awesome and unique the Arbiter, Carrier, Scout and Corsair look? The Warhound model looks like a modifed SCV. Even a goliath model would look more modern. "Safety Protocols"? When was Starcraft lore ever a universe concerned about "Safety"? I could go on, but really, aside from the flying defiler for the Zerg, these new units suck. Not looking forward to HOTS. | ||

Mineral lines will cease to exist when Zerg is in a game. Scanner sweep is ridiculously huge in SC2. The least they can do it they don't nerf it is to buff burrowed stuff. | ||

They should have gotten Rid of not just the Mothership But its imbalanced abilities as well. | ||

Its the same number as before. They removed the totally useless spellcaster (overseer), and exchanged it with a spellcaster that actually does something. And how does infestor and viper overlap? They have syngergy actually. One locks units down, the other prevents units in that area from firing ranged weapons. One can pull enemy units over to your army, the other can safely mindcontrol it. Suddenly the tanks are up on your cliff firing down on the terran army :p | ||

What exactly is the purpose of the Warhound? A walker with AOE anti-air Rest in the Peace Carriers... | ||

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 Well, this has basically solidified my switch to Zerg (Or maybe Terran since there will be actual mech instead of stupid thors). Instead of dealing with Protoss's actual issues they add more gimmicky spell casters. Plus the colossus is still in the game. Though I guess you can just replicate an SCV, build a CC and play Terran. The new go-to Protoss strategy. | ||

Another reason for Terran to not make Tanks versus Protoss  . Even then though, is it really worth it to spend 200/200 on something so situational and fragile? | ||

The reason players go mass roach instead of roach hydra vs. protoss is that roaches are way faster and they can run around and reinforce much quicker. With hydras being fast that reinforcement path is much quicker, and you can micro/storm dodge, hit and run tactics, and you can micro vs. air much better. Speed upgrades are HUGE for the power of any unit. I hope you're right. My general feeling is that this isn't enough because the Hydralisk's current role is already pretty niche, and a speed upgrade doesn't change that by a huge amount. Roaches are already faster, and cost half the gas. Zerglings obviously are always a decent harassment option, and versus Terran, you're gonna have Mutalisks out anyways. Maybe the new Hydralisk will somehow mesh well with the flying spellcaster. A d-web like spell does encourage the Zerg to use longer-ranged units. The new hook spell (if it makes it to retail) will also take care of the ultimate bane of Hydralisks: The Colossus. | ||

But the clone unit seems retarded and the removal of thor ruins alot of the metagame... why in gods name would they remove mothership and add another hero unit? That's retarded | ||
