That's because speed hydras in the early mid-game would be exceedingly overpowered with their current stats in this particular game. Late game with speed I think they're still going to be quite strong but having it at lair could mean some absurd tactics. Hydras, cost for cost, beat everything that comes out of the gateway for example, with the exception of high templar with storms. With speed letting you micro off creep, your aggression would roll protoss every time unless they rushed to colossi ASAP, which would have to be the only way to play. | ||

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 So against Zerg/Protoss it can essentially contaminate ALL production facilities? If I'm going Roach-Hydra and use it on those two tech buildings then I'm basically fucked. At least Contaminate only affects one Warpgate (unless you have multiple Overseers of course). This definitely won't make through the beta in that state. | ||

I think it will be possible to max on whatever the hell you please, same as infestor/blord now. If you leave a zerg alone, he will build 20-30 infestors and just cap on brood lords, it just doesnt work out The same way you can't go for BL Infestor in midgame, you won't go for viper infestor army in midgame. And in lategame, ghost and templar are here to deal with them, as a double caster centric army is going to be very weak to emp/feedback. | ||

The tempest is cool, but honestly the other two units seem boring. | ||

Welcome to the Terran bunker rush .Only like 10 times weaker. Arc Shield is actually WEAK, I don't know why people keep jumping to this conclusion. It's only use is as a slight buffer to give you the edge in very close fights. | ||

I'm thinking only spellcasters within the cloud will be hindered by it. Psi Storm and splash damage would still be viable a la Brood War, hopefully. Why is everybody immediately dismissing the Replicant simply because the things it can copy cost less than it? People honestly don't understand a thing about economics (or don't have common sense, in general). If the resources spent to create a unit were all that mattered, then massing Carriers would win every game. I, for one, am actually interested in seeing Protoss with Siege Tanks, Vipers, etc. | ||
