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). And as someone else mentioned, EMPing your opponent's Ghosts before they EMP you just gave your ENTIRE army it's shields back. EMP is a bajillion times easier to use than Feedback. I can guarantee you that if Tanks cost 200 gas, TvT would just be bio vs bio. What sense is there in spending 200 gas on a Tank, when you can spend the same amount on a Colossus? Besides, Terrans don't build Tanks in TvP anyway, except in all-ins that you probably couldn't afford to build Replicants against anyways. Replicating Ghosts lategame sounds like something you could do assuming nothing else changes in the HT vs Ghost dynamic. However, this is an absolutely fucking retarded solution to this problem. This is also why the Replicant is an awful, gimmicky unit. It's only useful if Protoss sucks so much, that they simply cannot deal with something with their own units. Do you really want to play a race that has to copy Terran or Zerg units in order to be able to function normally? Blah, I think I'm just going to sleep. I had pretty low expectations of HotS, but they've managed to disappoint me anyway, somehow. | ||

I think "a few" zerg players called the roach in beta overpowered. Something blatantly OP is blatantly OP, no matter what race you play. | ||

I think it's more about having your corrupters do something useful when they're not killing colossi, and since you gain money from doing it, you could earn a fair bit if the opposing player just lets you do it, so it's a semi-dangerous harassment. | ||

Zerg - gain 2 units, lost the overseer which is more of an upgrade than a unit, net gain about 1.5? Protoss - gain 3 units, lose 2 units, though one of the ones it lost was the mothership, which doesn't entirely count as a unit either, so net gain about 1.5? Terran - gain a mech transform, gain a building, gain 1 other new unit, and lose the ability to get plural thors like any other unit. If you count the first two as +.5 and the thor as -.5, then we're at a net gain of about 1.5 Sure, that might be some ridiculous counting. But the point is, Zerg gained 2 units while losing basically nothing, which is arguably as good as or better than how the other races fared I'm upset that they're replacing the Carrier. The Carrier is a classic! It just needs a buff... *tear* I'm super excited about the new Zerg units and the replicant and oracle (I betcha the oracle will undergo plenty of changes... who knows what kind of spells we'll see on it. I'm guessing it'll fulfill the same sort of role as raven/arbiter) Battle hellion and shredder look fun, though shredder seems kinda OP. Really don't know what to think about the thor/warhound situation. (And why call it a warhound? Warhound should be the name of a vehicle like the hellion, a mech should get another Norse name) | ||

Since you have been shitting on me for months with fungal, I thought it only appropriate that I now fungal you back, while dropping storms. GG Dear Terrans, Since you have been shitting on me for months with emp, I thought it only appropriate that I now EMP your ghosts back, while dropping storms. GG  | ||

1) The corrupter ability makes no sense to me, and I feel like they should just take out the unit altogether. 2) The new zerg units seem fucking amazing, but I'm a bit wary of removing the overseer... 3) Mass recall on nexus for 75 seems a bit....make it 150 at least! 4) I don't think the new protoss "raider" is such a good idea. 5) Replicant seems like it could be very, very good in certain situations. 6) I'm glad that the terran changes are moderate, since they don't really need much more anyway. Can't wait for this game! | ||
