We're talking about a tier 1 unit that has the ability to instantly annihilate any mineral line, anywhere on the map, at any time. This isn't a pull and scatter your workers scenario like when hellions/DTs/mutas/etc. show up and save a decent chunk of them if you do it right. This is an instant loss of 20 workers with no warning and no ability to save a single one of them. It's a terrible idea. | ||

Also, do you have to call me a troll because of that? Sorry for not analysing it in slow motion for 5 minutes before responding to him, in case you didn't notice, the video is very fast paced. | ||

It basically seems like a giant corsair, which if anything could make it too good against mass muta. Thors were supposed to be good against mutas too | ||

I like the cost, the abilities and the location so far. It has to be more expensive then other units you can build, or else you can just spam them and copy your own units. | ||

The shredder seems like a mobile mine of sorts and I can just see sitting behind a line of Shredders >> bunkers >> tanks outside my nat and kekekeing to victory. Holding ground just wasn't something they needed to get better at. It's to make mech viable vs protoss. Mech was only viable vs protoss in BW because of spidermines. These are like spidermines but cost supply and don't suicide. | ||

The Terran units got a nice concept behind themself, but the design is just very bad. i second this. Except toss units doesn't seem that wierd for me. | ||

they never had a useful skill like vikings/phoenixes. When do you have corruptors over the enemy base? | ||

Does it have an absurd LoS, or can it replicate something in the enemy's base because I have an observer there, or can I extend it's LoS by having several observers in a chain of vision? And I just realized how it could see up a hill, it's psionic, I forgot that detail about LoS mechanics. | ||

I mean, Zerg don't get burrow-move Banelings until Tier 3. If you can't get detection by then, you deserve to lose your whole mineral line. | ||
