the WARHOUND from the Trailer and the one from the pcgamer site, they look different. http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/10/WarHound-B.jpg At least the Cockpit and the Misslelauncher on its shoulder. | ||

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. If you've managed to build enough oracles to have the energy to do that, I'd be amazed if the zerg hadn't just thrown down a few spores. Sure, you can do it to the spores to stop them from attacking, but then you aren't doing it to the production facilities. Oracles are also EXPENSIVE. Plus, the queen can kill them. | ||

Phoenix are good as an early harass unit and early scouting before you get oracles out (since oracles are a good deal more expensive and 100% useless in a fight). Late game I agree, an air fleet from protoss doesn't need phoenix. I would prefer it that way (AoE vs. ground and big for air) like you suggest, but that would mesh with phoenix and VR worse, and I think they wanted to give toss a way to deal with big muta balls that give them so much trouble. Well that's what I mean. The Void Ray sucks in any straight-up conflict because of the charge time, particularly late-game when they get shredded to pieces either by Yamato, or their Viking/Marine backup. It's only good as a surgical strike/harassment unit (and for air domination if your opponent doesn't make any anti-air, like any air-to-ground unit). Swap the two weapons on the Tempest and it's something that's actually useful in the current game. Big laser for ripping apart capital ships, and anti-Light AOE for ripping up Marine/Hydra balls. I just don't see why Protoss need help against Mutas all that bad (and it's not like you can get a Tempest out before they show up, either). Ever since Phoenixes had the ability to kite the things, Mutas have never been anything close to overpowered in PvP. But, I guess, having ANOTHER unit that is meant to kill Marine/Hydra balls, that gets stomped by Vikings/Corruptors isn't going to help the game any. But, hey, it'd beat Collossi themselves and maybe make PvP better. | ||

That said, even as a protoss player, I kinda get it that they only incorporated utility units to Protosses since protoss kinda have some of the most versatile ground force. | ||

It slows pushes and produces long, epic games. | ||

Thank goodness someone with some sense in the thread. So much positional based stuff for Terran which not only makes mech viable it makes it more exciting too. :D | ||
