This replicate unit is never going to make it to final game. Imagine an early replicate of a drone, morphing into a hatchery, get pool, get queen, and use the spawn larva mechanic only for drone production. basically, as soon as the game goes into real late game and you get several hatch with lets say only a roach warren, you can first max out with pure toss army. lose army, max out again with warp-in + max roach production both at once.

This looks really OP for zerg imo, the toss got another phoenix/corsair like unit and two units that are going to take some imagining to use. The terran got a unit that kills things, unlike the mamaship and then got buffed hellions. I'm gonna give it some time before shouting out to the streets about how blizz is hurting toss, but this looks kinda shaky imo.

Removing Overseers sounds like the most broken thing of all.

Tell me, what is Zerg going to do about DT openings?
What unit will make a good enough mobile detector to be worth 200 gas?

Same thing as what they do now.They get a evo chamber at 7 minutes and a single spore in front of the base and bam.DT proof.


And be contained while they're forced to make a spire (100s build time) and a 200 gas unit?

You make more spores and have a good creep spread.I don't know man lol.
In BW zergs need to deal with corsairs shooting down their slow as fuck overlords while Dts roam around.It gets hectic but that's how the game should be.Don't know.

If you replicate a ghost, and the terran has a nuke, can the replicated ghost use the terrans nuke?


Might be a dumb question but that just hit me and would probably one of the most irritating things ever >.<

Too bad Vortex isn't in the game, otherwise legitimate Vortex+Nukes could have been possible D:

Guys, this is huge. Zerg can now salvage more minerals from a bunker than the Terran can.


Doesn't that thing only work on CCs/Hatcheries/Nexussus(Nexii?)?


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.


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.


that's not how it works. normally u clash with the deathball outside of the bases and loose your corruptors but take down most collossi. there's no situation where the corrupter ends up hovering in the enemy's base. at least not as often, that this abillity is more usefull than the old (which did some decent dmg in combat, but didnt make the unit any cooler).

plus, viper's pull abillity will make corrupter completely useless. don't get why they were not thrown out. my guess: lack of replacements
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

nah because you dont control, your replicate unit morphs into the drone.

All Units sound sooo broken, cant waor for the beta and the first patches


There's no reason to think that replicants also copy the amount of energy of the unit they copy, I wouldn't be surprised if they start with 50 energy or 25 or even 0 if they copy an enemy caster.

Man, why would they remove the mothership and add then add a similiar ''hero'' unit to terran.

They could have reworked it in alot better ways.....

Strong lategame unit seems cool since Terran lacks them (Only BC) but it's retarded to make it a one unit only. Just balance it as a normal lategame unit that you ''can'' get plenty-full off but usually don't.

Otherwise Zerg additions seem good, but I'd like to see a tier 1.5 that could scout better.

Terran additions seems cool, except for the Thor thing.

Not to sure about the Protoss units, but I'm not to good with protoss anyway.
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

If you neural parasite a replicator, can you then replicate your own neural parasiting infestor?

Funny with the replicant they gave them a deathball of any comp desired.

Has to be close, and it costs 200/200. That's one colossus. They can make banelings for what its worth. And every race need to have an amazing unit. It's StarCraft, not a game where everything is plain boring.

To be fair, the Corsair can shoot the ground and Firebat is now mech.
