I think he was quoted as saying "Starcraft 2? More like TerranCraft. I'll consider switching when it's balanced." | ||

Sure it might not kill workers, but it does make things like zealot drops more effective because the biggest problem with zealot drops is that you can just run your workers away and take little damage. This locks them in place. It don't affect worker, it make bubbles on minerals so they can't be mined. | ||

Model looks kinda shitty. I wonder if they were trying to make it look as little like the thor as possible. | ||

The Tempest is basically a very expensive BW Corsair with a mediocre ground attack. The Replicator is more expensive than almost all of units it can actually replicate. Seems very gimmicky to say the least. The Oracle is also weird. The scouting it gives you is not much more than what you would get from an observer. Entombing minerals sounds weak. The only useful ability is Phase Shift on Missile Turrets / Spores in combination with Phoenixes that can actually kill workers. I'm more excited about the new Nexus abilities than the units. :/ | ||

So, not only do we now have a purpose for macro Nexuses, but possibly Protoss could be more the macro race than Zerg, even. Put a Nexus everywhere and can defend as long as it has energy to recall units to defend. Not only does this give you lots of energy, unlimited gas potential, but it prevents your opponent from expanding there, obviously. I think with creative usage, Protoss so much more potential. They certainly made it the tech-y race. Let's see: 6 pool - Shut down with buildings that fight back. Cloaked Banshees - Countered 'en mass' by replicators. Terrans need to think twice about showing a Protoss a cloaked banshee. | ||

Oracle: 'oh they want a harassment unit huh? lets give them something that does exactly that, it just annoys ur enemy to death, it will kill absolutely nothing, but it will absolutely "harass" them and annoy the shit out of them" Yeah it's not like being able to remove any Zerg tech structure from the game instantly could be game breakingly good... | ||

From Reddit Oracle Description: The Oracle is a psionic warship, built from a Stargate, that uses several unique abilities to raid and harass the enemy. The first is Entomb, which can temporarily block mineral fields from being harvested. Another ability, Preordain, grants vision of a targeted enemy building, allowing the protoss to see which units or technologies are being researched. Rounding out its kit is Phase Shift, which phases a target building, preventing it from being attacked, using its abilities, or granting technology. Not only can structures like missile turrets be prevented from attacking, but using this ability on a zerg Spire would block the production of Mutalisks, Corruptors, and air upgrades. You might wanna read this Buddy Prevent attacking = prevent scouting and see the cloak units? Cool story bro. | ||
