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.

Cause you know nothing about how it plays.

What?Of course I know how it plays.You upgrade the ability probably,click the spell and pull in a unit,doesn't even matter from what distance,into a sure death.In what corner of the starcraft universe is that a good gameplay spell?

SC2 is doomed.


I despise ghosts in PvT, but I think a game design that forces any units out of the equation is very bad.


Huh? I'm saying Dustin Browder is retarded if he thinks Protoss being able to produce Ghosts or Siege Tanks for 200/200 a piece would even be good in PvT, much less "op".


There's more to the game than resource costs. I get the point he's making. Just look at what a few tanks in TvT do. Replicating a couple of Siege tanks with a Protoss army would make a Terran very wary of being the aggressor (something which they're usually quite happy and eager to be).


The thing I fear most about replicators is the synergy between units. Like the synergy between perhaps siege tanks, zealots and sentries.

Guys, this is huge. Zerg can now salvage more minerals from a bunker than the Terran can.
The existence of a food chain is inescapable if we evolved unsupervised, and inexcusable otherwise.

because you have absolutely no idea if its broken or not.


Free kill of a colosus for just the cost of energy?
for real?
you dont see a problem with that?


Well they said when it gets to beta if its a problem they will just remove the ability.

It's hard to tell what will be the consequences of all these changes, but I really can't see how mass recall for 75 nexus energy can not be overpowered.

Not to mention it rewards the player with bad macro.


This is kinda True That's why im starting to think of a re-work for the name of the expansion

Basically this could also allow 4 Gates and if your 4 Gate is doomed to Fail (If you see 5-7 Spine Crawlers) Mass Recall = profit Then Expand

Why blizzard absolutely want to keep corruptor in the game by adding random useless spells?

That's gonna be like " yeah i killed your colossus" now i have to deal with your gate army repop while having a 24pop hole in my army that doesn't hit ground +10 pop of useless queens. Let's get some minerals in your base mouhahhaha. GG"

Beside, how are we gonna counter-push protoss after a dt rush if we can't make aN overseer with an overlord near his base?


Well now all you have to do is pull the collo instead of making corrupters.

hots definitely isn't the direction i was hoping/expecting sc2 to go....for now.
i hope they simplify abilities and units while focus on synergy between units...not gimmicky and "COOL!!!!" stuff.

actually if you think about it Zerg is getting alot of synergy with their units.

Viper: can make overlords/queens detectors, units that you use to spot for enemies/defend harrass with anyways. reducing ranged damage comes with zergy territory with their melee, and allows them to protect their squishies like infestors. the pull ability can be used to protect infestors/queens as well as defend harrass, remove the big units that typically cause trouble (siege tanks, collosus, infestors) and pick them off, similar to how mutas work currently.

no but it's 1 dps. they actually managed to make the new spell less usefull than the old one. why? blizzard.

and just for style reasons? why would you grant your suicide troop of psycho killers ("the ones who couldnt get straightened up") grant heal. that doesnt nake sense at all.
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

The thing is it just means dont make any seige tanks in TvP if you dont want them replicated. They arent exactly the most useful unit in the game right now and none of the changes make me go yay tanks so they wont exactly exist to copy in the first place
