I kinda like the new Zerg caster and also this new spidermine thingy which fits terran pretty good and basically makes mech way more viable in conjunction with the new goliath and the firebat hellion (they obviously looked A LOT at broodwar?) On the other hand if they look so closly at broodwar...why the fuck wouldnt they actually implement the lurker instead of this strange broodhost or whatever? It obviously is supposed to fill the same role, but i still think the lurker is way way way more exciting and i didnt even watched/played that much broodwar. The Thor change is utterly retarded...I think Blizzard removed the Mothership for good reasons and now they are doing the same mistake with the Thor? You cant be serious. Speaking of the mothership...recall is a lot fun, cloaking is a lot fun, hero units not so much....so why dont they implement the arbiter? Also i have NO idea what role tempests should fill. They are ultra lategame antiair units, but srsly stargate alone(not even speaking of blinkstalkers/archons/hts) has pretty decent antiair, so there is absolutely no need for a 300/300 6 supply antiair unit. I really prefer even the carrier as it is now over the new tempest unit. The cloneunit seems really out of place and will if not nerfed to oblivion definitely create way too powerful synergies with the other protoss units. Oh yeah and the new Corrupter is even worse than the old one. Its not useless, but so boring and the new ability doesnt change a thing about that. I will never build like 14 corrupters and think "YEAH now i can do 14dps and get 14min/sec".......and in the meantime the protoss deathball steamrolls me. I think Blizzard really doesnt want to add more Broodwar units because its supposed to be a new game etc., but the community really wants some units back. We already got the kinda spidermine and the kinda defiler which are fine imho, but why dont they add the arbiter(especially with removing the mothership), reaver and the real lurker? I just dont get it. | ||

I would really like somebody to explain to me how Hive tech burrow-move Banelings can possibly be OP. Oh no, you have to make one Raven, whatever will you do? | ||

The more I think about it, the less I like this 'Replicant'. Wether it might be OP or not... the entire concept behind allowing one race to basically build the units of other two is just... stupid. | ||

Cause you forgot you got a little thing called the sentry which has force field  EDIT: I guess you mean a tank type of deal. Defenders advantage thing. Hmm, yea kinda. Not sure P needs it tho | ||

It is not supposed to fill the same role as the lurker. It is more of a long range siege unit. Sending 2 very high dps units forward at a time. So with several you can wear down defenses without having to actively engage with your army. | ||

That being said, the price is pretty high. how many bajillion people already stated that replicant can morph into ANY unit you have vision for. ugh people.. | ||

Or let your whole army die to DT's Taking out the Overseer was Retarded I don't get why Zergs are in Protoss Observer-mode. Why the hell would you only ever have ONE detector? I see it plaguing Protoss and Zerg players all the time (Terran to a lesser extent because of Scan, but there are still plenty of Terrans who don't have back-up plans after Scan, either). | ||
