Does it assume the supply of whatever it takes shape of or does it have a static supply, opening up the possibility for >200/200 armies ? Im assuming the clone has a limited lifespan. Even if it doesn't, you wouldn't run the risk of overdoing it with the replicants, if they die and you can't get your clone spells off in time, etc. It seems big risk big reward. But it does sound pretty damn cool. Should make for some crowd roaring plays! | ||

Recall for 75 Nexus energy is disgustingly game-breaking, and will probably not even make it to closed Beta. It's probably game-breaking for 200 energy too. I think some people are exaggerating the usefulness of a recall as opposed to 3 chrono boosts. Feign a push, force recall, repeat as needed, push with toss army out of position. | ||

Someone brought up death grip, and we all immediately agreed that it would be really imba, with it only being balanced if massive units were immune. However, the devs at blizzard and their infinite wisdom (sarcasm), clearly think otherwise. Blizzard used to be good at making expansion packs, but nowadays... Two Words Buddy Mass Recall | ||

You get viper at lair tech right now - my initial impression is that it would nullify cloaked banshees but that's just theory crafting." So, nothing's changed to before? Well, changelings are probably gone. wow. again. wow. the viper will NOT come with the lair. it will come with the spire. which is lair tech. zerg will NEVER get a caster unit just by going to T2. think about that for a tiny second and you'll figure. | ||

So Terran and Zerg got what they wanted but you're whining because they ain't the same name / model ? What the fuck ? | ||

Cloaked units worked fine against Zerg with overlords having detection. Oh well, it will be seen how many people die to DT rushes. And cloaked banshees. Horribly. Protoss should honestly get to keep the Mothership, and have that keep Mass Recall. Because Kiwikaki does it, and it works. No need to stick it onto every nexus, which is probably broken. XD Terran units look lulzy. No comment. | ||
