This is the problem I have with this. Maybe it will be awesome, maybe it will fuck up the game beyond recognition.

I grant you the swarm host...

Just bite the bullet and put Lurkers in for christ sake, Blizz being too proud again.

Is anyone else underwhelmed with these? Perhaps seeing them in action will change my mind but these additions just don't seem right.

Except it has an AoE air attack which would be very bad for viking clouds.

How is the warhound different from the Thor, btw?

probably gonna be more like goliath, so not as slow and retarded like thor, faster anti air fire rate

mutas will still magic box and thus counter them, unless it's a different aoe

well or they'll be cheaper/less food so you can actually make more than 2

Warhound = Goliath.
Battlehellion = Firebat

Viper = Defiler

I am pretty psyched for these. The Protoss ones seem a bit weird, though.

Hmm ... I wonder what tier the "new" dark swarm is gonna be. ZvZ is gonna look pretty strange if the new dark swarm makes roaches useless. Maybe roaches will be able to toggle on their melee attack?

I see no reason to think units will be removed. When Brood War was released, units weren't removed to make room for the new ones.

Any more Details on the Swarm Host?

It operates while burrowed, which reminds me of lurkers but instead it spawns units like a broodlord.
Would it be reasonable to assume that it's a lurker/broodlord hybrid? I have a really good feeling it would morph from a roach....


Then again, maybe I just miss broodwar too much

Best part of this is reading all the dumb theorycrafting when ppl really still have no clue about the units (cost/effeciency etc) and already whining about balance, lol

The tempest is a CAPITAL SHIP, its clearly there to replace the useless carrier.

I don't really see what all the QQ is about. This looks awesome. I'm sure that they've already taken into account balancing shredder drops. Only 2 new units for zerg? Their 2 new units are easily better than the 3 new units each for P and T.

FFS can we at least wait till HotS comes out before we QQ about balance?

yeah everyone votes no for terran units, hey ppl, these units will probably be for campaign only, maybe just 1 will be added to multiplayer to replace a different unit.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ YOU'S TROLLIN'!!!

I don't really follow Blizzard on the Protoss unit

Obviously the Oracle is meant to be the Protoss harassment unit, but unless it can actually KILL something, I don't see it being used too often, the Protoss army is already weaker due to the necessity of Sentries, and combined with Replicants (Which I'm assuming can't attack until they replicate into something) I don't see Protoss being effective cost-for-cost.

On top of that, the Tempest (If it does replace the Mothership) will be another Stargate unit that sees little to no play, due to cost and effectiveness in battle.
