EPTWhat?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?

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. | ||

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 Protoss Ripp the Heart of the Swarm. | ||

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. | ||

Fungaling units in place under dark swarm is the most broken thing I've ever heard of. And blinding cloud or whatever it's called is a silence. I can't believe this. Almost like Maelstrom + Psistrom/dist web, eh? xDDDD | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||
