i just saw the video to the oracle.... really? the answer for protoss not being able to kill workers is to make a unit that cant kill workers? hopefully some changes happen but toss seems to get the shaft in this expansion

zerg looks good though, i might have to race switch


In the Protoss unit video, they said there are "50" different ways to kill workers, and they didn't want to add to that number, so they wanted Protoss to have a harass unit that doesn't kill workers.



congrats toss players, you get a 200 gas overseer with a jacked up contaminate and destructible mineral FF...

LMAO

destructible mineral rocks

This is rather underwhelming. Maybe I'm just tired but I just dont see any reason to get excited over any of these. Maybe in real time gameplay it will be different but from what has been shown...meh =/

Why would you want the soul hunter? It's just a diamondback.

Exactly bw added dark archons with mind control but seriously such a limited unit.

I have a feeling that the oracle (200 gas protoss overseer which can't detect) will be just as useless as the overseer they scrapped from zerg.

If they wanted to give protoss a real harassment unit, they would give them the soul hunter:

This unit might do bonus to light and be a gateway unit as well as jumping cliffs maybe...

So protoss cant do shit vs zerg now? cast defile on the colossi + stalkers and then auto lose when they cant hit anything, combine this with a fungal or two and its gg protoss army. Guess protoss arent meant to have more then 5 units clumped up at a time vs zerg in HotS

I would actually take dark archon at this point. Maelstrom addresses the exact problem that the tempest is supposed to solve - imagine catching 40 mutas and then storming them.
Dark Archons had a feedback ability win a decent range, not like current HTs.
And finally MC not only gave you a unit of a different race, it also DENIED OPPONENT that unit. It was like a permanent neural parasite. AND you could MC massive units.

Seriously I would take Dark Archon over any of these new units any day of the week.

LOLOL I laughed so hard!! :D

The replicant and the oracle seems bad but the Tempest is fine in my opinion.

Shredder seems really strong. As if Planetary Fortresses weren't enough. ><"

Move out of the cloud? Saying Protoss can't do anything vs Zerg is like saying Zerg can't do anything v Protoss because of storm.

Why not just spread your units out and simply walk the ones you need to out of a cloud?

It's rather hard to walk out of a fungal... some would say impossible.

I feel the opposite. Replicant and oracle have some interesting potential, imo, while tempest seems pointless since muta timings are in the mid game and when it comes to late game blink+storm+archons deals with mutas just fine.

"Why not just spread your units out."

Maybe you can't walk out of a cloud while fungaled, but you can just avoid getting everything fungaled and blinded at once. (=
