I like how everyone is complaining about balance while the beta hasn't even started yet. If everyone had seen the entire panel you would know that they also worry about darkswarm2 and the replicator. All these units and abilities are subject to changes and removal so please STFU and play WoL.

EDIT: TIL to spell replicator


Most of the people complaining aren't complaining about balance (except in the case of the replicant), we're complaining about the design and the fact that it's clearly not very interesting.

The question is how much damage the shredder will make. Because it cant be the way it was shown in that video. Afterall 4 tempest wont rape so many mutas like in the protoss video.

If 20 lings run past a shredder, how many will come out on the other side?

20 dps iirc, doesn't stack.
None will pass, as shown in the vid.

what does it mean that it does not stack? Like if you have 2 shredders close so that their field overlapp, they still only do 20dps? But 20dps is still enough.

How much is 20dps in comparison to other units? I dont know the statistics of anything so I have no idea?

But this could pretty much stop any type of ling harass for zerg vs terran.

This will shut down any type of ling harass for zerg vs terran. The only way to harass then is with ranged units or drop.

Doesn't stack does indeed mean that the damage doesn't increase the more there are, just like Storm for example.

1 shredder does as much damage as 60 shredders

Ok but how does this attack work. I mean collossus does 20dps aswell but they fire one time, then fire again. How does the shredder work? When lings run into the field, do all lings get attack by 20dps for as long as they are in the field (kinda like storm, or fungal etc that do damage over time), or is it one hit as long as they are in there?

From the David Kim reponse on the shredder, yes, it is DoT over all planes (air + ground) similar to Storm. Therefore it's possible to place shredders in front of siege tanks similar to RL engagements, where there's minefields to soften up infantry before being pounded by artillery and flak cannons, such as Korean War (Still in effect, recent news and all that).
imo that's what the Swarm host is designed to break.

I hope the actual air damage of mech/goliath replacement will be good enough so that mech is still viable. I see most terrans whining about the changes but I think it would be great to have more than 1 viable composition.

why not just viper the shredder? It should be out of ground and ripe to kill

I find interesting they wanted to add a new "worker friendly" harrass unit for protoss, which doesn't really have any good harrass unit, while adding the shredder to terran. It looks like one of the best units in the game to wipe an entire mineral line by itself if not detected in time (via drop) in a race that already has several ways of doing the exact same thing with other units.

With blue flame hellions at least you notice it with the first attack. With the Shredder it may well be already too late.

Just to reiterate, shredders have the same dps as psi-sorm. In an aoe that's about the size of a pylon radius.

Now, tell me how that's a good idea, again?

you can disable shredders by outrange them or use casters, and they don't really do much on offensive or reactive defense?

So they're a super big aoe tank that can't stack pretty much? Deal with it the same way - go around it or shoot it from above.

Ah OK didn't realise. In that case since they switch off, send in one beefy unit that can take the hit (collo or something) to go kill it. If they reinforce it switches off.
