Right now i'm seeing Protoss going for DT rushes sniping the Spire and GG" Spore Crawler by the Spire. No 3rd untill spire finishes? Protoss will rush to dt and expand like crazy due to the mapcontrol or just make suicide dts to kill all spores :/ this just doesnt seem right. You Get Spire Around 10 mins ready, But Toss gets Obsever so much faster ad Terran Has Scan Not only that, but you have to wait to get energy to give a unit detection. The viper sounds cool in concept but is looking very lacking to me. Zerg loses contamination too.
hahahhaa I can't believe ppl are saying that the viper is LACKING!? WHAT?! People must be out of their minds...

probably the Dumbest thing i've ever read; you have orbital Scans; you got detection anywhere.

Wonder if you'll be able to use it on neutral critters as in Brood War ^^

With this New change to no Overseers Zergs gonna have to get an Evo Chamber Every Single Game vs protoss For Spores; otherwise you could auto-loss to DT Rushes.
Since Viper is a Spire Unit right?
Correct. But it might not be so bad. in PvP if your opponent DT rushes you must get a forge. However you can get robo and obs out most of the time before DTs unlike this wait until spire nonsense.

Protoss loses a unt to gain 3.
Nope. Protoss loses Carrier and Mothership. The TWO units at the core of every Protoss build...
Yeah the loss of the carrier is going to COMPLETELY shift the metagame in all 3 matchups.

The new nexus abilities are a million times better than chronoboost. PvZ expansions will be super-easy with the arc shield. 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. You will probably chrono till about the time you take a 3rd than stop because by that point you will have about 55 probes so the need to get the rest fast is lessend. Plus when you get near 100 energy you can simply use a chrono. So its not really about not using chrono its about when you want to give up 3 chronos to hit 75 energy then you start using chrono again because hitting 100 energy is a waste.
Hmm...any chance we'll see a use from dropping extra next late game the way T drop extra CCs? Mass energy for repeated mass recall. Likely, no. Possibly....

Scans?
How are we supposed to scout?
Imo there must be some other way they will let zerg scout. Hopefully base overlord speed is increased .

From what I understand, protoss replicators can replicate your own units. Can they "un-replicate"? Defend defend defend, replicate 6 sentries. Ok going on offensive now, 6 COLOSSUS! Oh my that is a lot of corruptors, better go 6 immortals instead. Build 1 void ray, get 7 instantly when the first pops out.
But will have to see how it really works. I'm really exited if the replicants can un-replicate. It would bring protoss some needed flexibility.
It can't replicate massive units, and Colossus are massive. However, it does grant the opportunity to go balls deep into a new tech patch as soon as that first unit hits, such as an instant army of void rays when the first pops. Or how about an instant army of Seige Tanks in PvT ?

Zerg have only a spore crawler (limited to creep) before the viper. Terrans get scan very very early.

Kerrigan sounds a lot like Tricia Helfer in this trailer, anyone know who the voice actor is?

Especially in TvZ, I dont even know if its going to be playable anymore...

A lot of these changes are going to turn this into a whole new game. I feel like the first few weeks laddering are going to be chaos for a lot of people. So glad the carrier got dumped btw.

The viper... I don't even...
What possible rationale is there for allowing dark swarm and fungal to coexist? You can literally trap and damage entire armies under a blanket that completely stops them firing back, with no way to recover from the instant the fungal goes down.
That's utterly insane!
Oh, and colossi, which I'd hope might have been able to fire over dark swarm, will never ever be used in PvZ because of the tongue thing. Nevermind.

Zerg (already lowest unit count) loses a unit to gain 2.
Protoss loses a unt to gain 3.
And Terran loses nothing to gain 2 + a hellion conversion.
Did Zerg just come out on the short end of the stick in the Zerg expansion?
Protoss lose Carriers and Mothership.
Terran can't mass thor anymore, what else do you want?
Zerg has the 2 coolest units in the game already.
