It shoots 2 16 damage 0.875 attack speed broodlings, that seems pretty decent), defilers, ultras that no longer block unit pathing with burrow charge, and a new corruptor ability. Do you want an auto-win button? Hi friend. Haven't seen anything about it elsewhere?\.. Would you be so kind to describe what burrow charge does exactly? Thanks  And what's the new corruptor ability? | ||

It's for helping against early game rushes (Lings, Marines, Zealots, Reapers) and mid-game harassment (hellions, banshees, etc.), and you need a Gateway to use it, so it won't help a Cannon rush much, if at all. | ||

Like the burrow/drop is the only thing i could think of that would be slightly useful but still extremely situational. Like I'm not ever going to use that... like what am I honstly doing to prepare for the choice of combat shield over stim. Yea, but a little aggression can tell you if they have burrow, and speed is a HUGE give away for drops.. I really don't see any point of this. The unit itself is pretty pointless imo.. just get rid of it. | ||

Replicant sounds........ interesting. Either stupidly OP or stupidly useless. Mules obviously come to mind but toss need more gas than minerals.. stalkers in bunkers? SENTRIES?!?!?!?!? Replicate a raven, put down 2 pdds to protect colossus from vikings? Imagine probes mining from a PF build ghosts, EMP THEIR GHOSTS?!?! ?BWAHAAHAHAHA Replicate an overlord, drop creep to deny their expos ! .... wait..... | ||

So they make the detection come so late that the pull can't be abused but do they remember that even with overseers Zerg usually STILL struggles to get detection in time for banshees... | ||

Rofl, agreed, now i'll make 20 corrupters and send them into your base to poop on your buildings for a few minutes. Please don't attack them, it's not fair. | ||

Why is it wrong to complain about units with abilities that are clearly broken or totally wrong for the nature of the game? I can guarantee you that that Viper pull-in ability will never go live,not in a million years. Why wouldn't you complain about a obviously stupid unit or ability so they stop wasting time on it or re work asap. | ||

On October 22 2011 08:36 PPTouch wrote: the problem with the arc shields in pvp is that think about a 3 pylon block off... but you dont need a cannon and just make the pylons :/ Arc Shield has a duration. If you put 3 up on those 3 pylons, the other guy just moves away for the duration. p.s., currently lasts 20 seconds | ||

Yeah i'm wondering if they thought about 1 base cloaked banshee then 2 base DT or something. It almost forces rushed lair because you can't just morph an overlord anymore as soon as you hit lair. not happy with zergs continued de-evolution with detection. | ||

Too many people talking about the problems caused by the new enemy units and too few talking about the possibilities of their own race´s units. I'm just sad we did not get Zealots on Hooverboards. | ||

Thanks And what's the new corruptor ability?Ultralisks get this ability like zealot charge, except it's probably manual cast. They burrow, rush forward, and pop up and start attacking. You can see it in the new trailer. The new corruptor ability siphons health away from enemy buildings and gives you money. Not terribly great, but you can always use more money. | ||
