Same feeling here.

Replicant & Viper aren't in SC2 metagame.

A speedling will be a sick detector. Its not like the DT's can kill it if you are careful.

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



ye, and who eventually gets control after that. otherwise as zerg you should neural the replicators and morph them all into zerglings before losing control

Isnt control seperate from psi? So P could have a 400/400 army


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

huh??

I don't think anyone has thought of this

Use replicant to steal a SCV and repair all your crap! That's actually practical compared to building a command center.

Not sure why everyone wants the lurker/reaver? I think marauders would destroy either of those units. They would be either horrible or OP in SC2.

Can we cancel a replicant cloning another unit?

Like miss-microing c+ click on a ghost and shoot a marine mean you spend 200/200 and 4pop for a marine forever?

I think an overlord with speed would make a great detector

Protoss players want to play protoss, not zerg or terran. Seriously blizzard? Why not fix the biggest problem of the game and remove the colossus and replace it with the reaver or something else?

Also I'm quite sure this protoss "harass" unit is going to be extremely underwhelming.

And that pulling thing, it's just stupid and doesn't fit in this game at all.

I just found out even Something More Terrifying

A Protoss Could do this Have hidden hatcheries the protoss could Make Drones into millions of Spore Crawlers to do the extra Supply Trick where you can make Spore Crawlers then Cancel them After making units to go Past the 200/200 Supply Cap then The Protoss could dump all his Late Game Minerals into Mass Replicates and Mass Gate/way Robo Units Exceeding the 200/200 Supply Cap

David Kim *Comes*

Then the 300/300 Protoss DeathBall in the Game Rips the Heart out of the Swarm

Think about it Seriously.

Why is everyone likening the tempest to the corsair? They're nothing alike besides the fact that they both aoe air to air.

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.
Incorporated evo chamber timing is what made DT expand's like the worst opening ever in PvZ.

Well then it's harder for Z to expand. how are you going get a 3rd without mobile detection.

Because me as any other reasonable person counted on blizzard having enough balls to scrap the marauder and colossus from the game.
Well.Apparently not.

To be honest I kinda don't understand the whining in this thread = =.

Many units/abilities obviously will be reworked or adjusted. Many might not even pass the alpha phase. Just relax and let the people who are at Blizzcon doing a testing right now figure out what how the units are and give the feedback to Blizz, please?

Giving a second though I didn't like the Swam Host even one bit.


Yeah there was something... underwhelming about it. It just doesnt feel really swarmy, units are popped so slowly from it.


Well apparently rumors are that the swarm things the swarm host poops out do 16 damage and have a 0.8something attack speed, so like 2x the dps of a +2 marine. Not bad.


pop them out in half the time. reduce damage by 45%. more swarmy. would be possible...

I like swarmy ideas, but that also gives the potential to be just ridiculously cost effective if these things are tanking for you.


Either way the units are free. Thus they would be at least equally cost effective. The only point of these beefy infinite spawns would be tanking shredder dmg to kill them... But thats just a stupid purpose. This unit needs a bit o tweeking but not a terrible idea.
Viper seems ok, but will need alot of testing because there are areas where problems could arise.
moving burrowed banelings seems to be too good to be true... there must be a catch.
Terran units are silly. I can see the point of hellion/firebat thing, but its a wierd way to solve the problem. Mech warrior is strange. Thor change is a bit wierd but not hurting anyone imo.
Also the shredder seems hugely broken right now...
Protoss... I just dont get it right now... duplicator wtf. They get a unit purely to defend against muta, now that mutas were a huge problem area for toss at higher levels.
The oracle is just wonky will probably be changed or scrapped for different concept.
I have no opinion on nexus abilities as I have yet to see them do anything.

Strange changes, some good potential and some decent units, but aside maybe the viper... nothing great.

200/200 for something that 'heals' very slowly and for a cost.

honestly. im extremely worried.

From the sounds of the changes blizzard has added a BUNCH of gimicky wc3 esque units and abilities.

i dont like them at all.

oh and what a slap in the face is taking out the mother ship.....only to the say "hey terran here is the new thor...you can only build one"

i have little hope....but of what little i have i truly truly hope things arent as BS as im making them out to be T.T
