OK ladies and gents...I am calling it right now....
The Heart of the Swarm is the patch where Zerg are gonna rule the nest in almost every competitions !
The game of starcraft 2 will no longer be called terrancraft but ZergCraft!
You have been warned, and this is no joke =(

Incoming cannon rushes all day long brah. Seriously though, I would imagine that Blizz will get the balance right to prevent the kind of madness that COULD happen.

You need gateway to do it.


Gotcha. Starting to sound pretty okay to me. Although proxy gates would become more popular wouldn't they?

Same build time like right now. Why would be it matter? Stop whining please.

Seriously, if the Oracle has detection, then okay, if not, then I really HAVE to wonder if the developers have some type of subliminal hate for the protoss race. Just take them out of the game, seriously, like Bisu said, SC2 toss is pointless, just axe it from the game if you are going to neuter them like this.

I want to know if the new detection-parasite ability works on units that are burrowed. It'd be pretty amusing to have your own hidden detector for Zerg like Protoss does with Observers.

If the Oracle has detection doesn't that make it the Protoss Overseer? A scout unit that with strange and possibly weak abilities that got removed because it had such narrow use.

I find it funny how every protoss is going OMG CARRIERS REMOVED WTF THEY WERE SO COOL AND FROM BTW ETC...

Before I've seen EVERY SINGLE PROTOSS go "OMG CARRIERS ARE SO FREAKING USELESS THE UNIT BARELY EXISTS, WHY DOES IT EVEN EXIST ANYWAY?!? HUK GOT DECIMATED VS STEPHANO WHEN HE USED 3-3-3 CARRIERS, I WILL NEVER MAKE THEM AGAIN"

And then you got a new cool unit which actually seems useful. How can you possibly be whining about that?

It's the principle of it. Carriers should have been fixed to be as glorious as they were in BW but Blizzard took the easy way out and got rid of a long time iconic unit and gave us something else in place of it.


Both Zerg and Terran generally built their armies in such a way as to counter Colossus, and sadly the Carrier was countered by the same things. Also I really wonder how how glorious the image of BW carriers would be if it wasn't for the TvP meta-game being mech heavy.

Exactly, so the Colossus isn't just responsible for it's own slot that it's wasting. It has basically ruined both of the proxy attacking protoss units from BroodWar. Stubborn, Blizzard? Everyone agrees it's the most boring unit in the game.


But man, it LOOKS cool!! I saw an interview where they said they kept it during developement because they thought the design was great and that it was the best way to make units... but still...

why should it? you need chrono for the zealots and the spell doesnt make that much dmg.


Yeah I guess that makes sense. I've had 8 cups of coffee and not much sleep. My brain is fucked.




With proxy gates, the spell would be useless unless you dropped chrono's on your zeals (and floated money because of it) in order to protect your 2 gateways from... enemy zealots?


If that is the case you fucked up

OMG so excited for the new zerg units and abilities. HOTS can't come soon enough.



The ability that pulls units to your army is kind gay I think. Collosi will be neutralized pretty badly I would think. Then again, I haven't played. What the hell do I know?

Maybe u can't pull massive units? We shall see. But hell if u can immaterial make 10 vipers yeah!

Don't understand all the complaints about no overseer. Zerg has to play slightly less greedy and get a lair up sooner? Toss is forced into robo builds if they want detection. Fast robos slow down expand timings. Plus, how will other races know which unit is the detector? Is it marked, sort of like parasited units in BW? It's easy to snipe obs/ravens, but mystery detectors for zerg seem pretty awesome.

Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

There is little difference in whether you kill the drones or prevent them on mining. The only thing that matters is the overall impact on the economy, which will depend on how, for instance, how mobile the oracle is and how much Entomb costs.



What? There's a huge difference between killing 10 drones and preventing 10 drones from mining for a short period of time. In one of the above the zerg actually has to spend money to remake drones in addition to lost mining time.
You need to be 100% behind someone before you can stab them in the back

Arc requires gateway tech... it says it on the screenshot. Though... BOSS gateway Forge inbase plays will be fucking BOSS!


You wall yourself in, they arc their nexus, your probe dies. Hardly seems boss to me.

Sounds pretty Imbalanced in lategame, you just send 10 Voidrays to snipe hatcherys or other buildings while camping at a Nexus in the middle of the map with your whole army^^



Dude, Nexus in the middle of the map purely for recall would be awesome. Some interesting strats to be explored there!

Some of the abilities of these units are just totally amazing. I can't wait for the beta to start so we can see some of the new strategies in action.
