Not like they can afford to scan for 3 different cloaked banshees during a 1/1/1 all-in while you're producing off 2 base economy. And if they build a raven, you get to seeker missile all their marines, that can't outrun it due to lack of stim :D. | ||

We all know what happens when a Terran overcommits to a banshee opening. . . More so if they are 200m/200g cloakshee. Losing just one is going to be huge. | ||

Can you only use it once per viper? or can you do it as many times as you have energy for? | ||

Ocular Parasite costs 50 energy, you can cast it as many times as you want. It won't let you cast it on the same unit again, but that's because once a unit has the eye stalk, it is a detector forever and I guess the game doesnt want you to waste your energy ^^. But with the same viper, yes, you can potentially make every unit you have a detector. When viper spawns, it has energy to do ocular parasite once. | ||

Will a shredder work alongside a bunker as long as the marines are inside it? Technically it would just be surrounded by buildings then. | ||

MULEs/larva/chrono and how MULE is better than the rest they say that races are not supposed to be the same/symetrical or whatever and at the same time they add an unit like Replicant to the game. Wtf... Its the same but not really. An infestor with zealot back up is different than an infestor with zergling back up. A siege tank with archon back up is different than a siegetank with marine backup. If you copy an enemy unit its functionality in the protoss army is completely different. | ||

also viper infestor combo is too good. toss is relatively weak and so is terran. | ||

It is so late game, I doubt it'll affect many match ups. Protoss already should have observers with their army and Terrans at that point will have so many OCs that they scan spam scans as they do already against burrowed Banes. Or they could build a raven or two. All in all, I don't see how it'll affect much. If it was a lair upgrade, sure it's imba. I just think a lot of people are not thinking it through.

I know they just don't want two deathballs bouncing against each other all game but if one race was to have a deathball I would say it should be Toss. | ||

So...what are we going to do? For those who don't know, mass tank beats mass immortal because of the splash; you can see for yourself in the unit tester. | ||
