The Colossus sliding completely vertically as it clips through the air looks really goofy. yeah definitely, don't they have this awesome physics engine in SC2? Couldn't they apply to the units when grabbed? | ||

Unless you can do some absurd copying with observers giving the replicant twice the LoS as usual, the tank's range should be able to shoot the replicant in the face, if it's sieged. Troll, starts trolling, tell him he is wrong. Troll fucked. And thats why you are wrong: its at 1:40 | ||

It is not quite to the same effect though is it? Sure, you can do hit and run attacks quite safely, but you won't be able to actually recall directly into the enemy base. I really like the potential it has, in my opinion Protoss is the most immobile race in WoL and it will be interesting to see how this affects gameplay. | ||

So glad they scrapped it. | ||

Hellion gets more power to last in straight up fights because it can't provide the buffer between tanks that spider mines could, so Shredder is added to provide some base and area protection like spider mines, but instead of making them hard to use, they make them easy in that they stop working if allied units get close. Not going to be hard to use these offensively. Thor was terrible so they reintroduce the Goliath but with a weird unit model, almost as bad as the battle hellion. Protoss: Reduce gimmic units of other races, give them to Protoss. Replicator: Dark Archon in cost, but with mind control as the only spell and a worse version of mind control as well. Going to be very much a gimmic unit, solves nothing for robo tech. Oracle: Better overseer? If it can't detect cloaked units it doesn't solve anything for Stargate tech. I'd rather build an extra Phoenix and actually kill the workers. If this can't provide some offensive support then it seems silly as the defensive support is really bad. Warping buildings away seems less than useful when the best possible result is to stop a tech snipe by terran which sucks because stargate against terran is either for void ray all ins or to get phoenix which should be used to deny drops in the first place. On the other hand it doesn't matter because it had something that froze the spore crawlers (lol 2 stargate play vs zerg here I come). Tempest: Solve none of the weaknesses of the Carrier (Unless the ground attack is even more dps than the Carrier) while also not being a good response to mass muta which is where the +dmg against light and splash helps. 300/300 75 second build time, have fun never being built because you solve even less of a purpose than Carriers. Concepts of the day: Don't use solid Broodwar/RTS unit concepts until you realize that they actually work where as your crappy replacements do not. When you have the ability to expand a race and how it can be played, just add gimmicks instead of actually solid units or abilities that solve a purpose or gap in the race. If you want to differentiate the races just remove something from one race and give it to another even if it has been done before in a previous game. Who cares if it makes the race feel like the other one, they can't play the same or feel wrong if they have different units! | ||

Less game changing then mutas or hellions clearing out your mineral line, that stops mining for a lot more than 45 seconds. Besides, the mineral blockers can be attacked to go down before that. If anything it's going to be a little weak since a few stationed marines or lings will just kill the tomb. | ||
