Also, about the oracle, we don't even know how it operates yet. It could very well stop mining for a full minute for half your workers in a base. That's a huge chunk of income lost, and almost tantamount to losing half of the workers affected.

Not a fan of most of it. The oracle and replicant are pretty dumb, terran units seem utterly uninspired and the swarm host seems like a less cool version of infested terran spam from burrow.

Well, why don't we just sit tight and FIND OUT WHEN THEY TELL US LATER? Or you could just cry some more, based on pretty much no information.

IS there any light flyer except mutas?

Anyways, P gets too rather gimicky units (the second one looks really stupid tbh, you can stop mining? not kill the workers but stop mining?) and a capital ship. If this thing doesnt in some way SHRED vikings it will be useless.

Terran Units look stupid.

Zerg gets 2 new great endgame units.


Idk, we obviously have little information but Im not too impressed

DAE think that also since corruptors are probably gone (hydra will be more standard anti air with its morph) it would means broods are gone and replaced by the swarm host?

my only disapointment is .... if the swarm host is "like the lurker"

I would much rather just have the lurker .... its much cooler


Exactly... I guess we shouldn't judge it to harsh yet, but I'm still puzzled why they decided to go down this route. Imagine the crowd going bananas of joy if the reveiled the Lurker for real

I love how people are completely overreacting and saying "this unit imba" or "why would blizzard ever make this unit, it's completely useless" and "thor/marauder/infestor/whatever removed for sure with this" when we don't know ANYTHING about these units besides description. Lets wait until the ACTUAL reveal in 5 hours so we can get the real facts. Like HP, actual attack damage, movement speed, confirmation of removed units, more detailed explanation of spells than "reduces damage from attacks" and "disrupts enemy mining", etc before we make any claims.

For all we know some of these units aren't even IN the multiplayer game. They only said that 3 of them were so far, this could easily be for the singleplayer as well. Just just calm down, relax, and wait 5 hours before spouting a bunch of crap about imba and "blizzard y u so noob"

Lol it says multiplayer units above the pics of the units

Honestly I'm disliking the first two toss units and the terran units...

The replicator thing just sounds like a bad hallucination gimmick, so until we get clarification.... >.> Oracle just sounds imbalanced... can stop mining, can see what buildings enemy is building? WTF?

Goliath = want, AOE = not want (unless the damage is really low). It should be a unit that's massable, not something that you can be like "oh look 30 mutas, I'll just make 2 of these and defend." Battle hellion, well yeah we all kind of called it, seems kind of boring and the transformer thing has been so overdone :T

I am really curious about the replicant, it could really make for some interesting gameplay. And what will happen if you replicate an scv or drone?

Honestly, ALL of these are going to be awful imo. -_-

I'm hoping most of these are only campaign units, otherwise... horrible things will happen.

All of the new units are too versatile and have complex special abilities and they've added way too many of them. Nobody can even begin to imagine all the possible abusive strategies people will come up with a month or two after release.

It's pretty much a reset of the game, and we're again going to have to go through a long period of balance whining, patching, and games decided by clever strategies and BO wins instead of skill as everyone now has to re-learn everything instead of improving. -_-

And the game was just getting stabilized with things starting to get figured out in detail. This is like a new game, one that I personally might not even play if it stays like this. If this is how they're going to do it, playing SC2 until a year after Legacy of the Void will make zero sense.


Oh look, more whiners based on a fucking picture


1. If you have more information, give me more information. Otherwise I'm going to talk about what I see.

2. If these units with these abilities make it into the game, it won't matter what the actual stats are, it's going to be bad anyway. It doesn't matter what the numbers are, at all.

Too many new units. Too many special abilities. Too many new holes to exploit. It's that simple.

YESSSS. DARK SWARM. My favorite spelll in Broodwar and the one I missed the most in SC2. When I heard they removed defilers from Zerg, it really seemed like the entire race had been gutted. This helps that greatly.

edit: wait..it's not dark swarm... Y U NO MAKE ZERG FUN TO PLAY BLIZZARD!!!

I am more concerned about what units they will be removing from WoL, i think that with the way that these units look, there are definitely some conflicting things with the way that the armys would conflict and removal of some units is pretty much guaranteed.

units that won't be removed:
hellion (if there is a morph of a hellion, then the hellion is not removed)
probably Hydra (looks to be what the swarm host is morphed from)

units that conflict:
the most glaring error is that the thor conflicts with the warhound. either the thor's air attack will be edited, or the thor will be removed from HotS muliplayer completely.

another thing that makes me wonder is what will happen to zerg's tier 2 and 3. both units shown are at least tier 2 and i think the viper looks powerful enough to be tier 3. if that is the case, then there would be a LOT of units for zerg to be able to make at tier 2 (hydras, corruptors, infestors, mutas, swarm host) and a healthy amount of choices for tier 3 (viper, ultra, BL). I would not be surprised to see a huge change to tier 2. I think that the most likely thing that I can see are that either the infestor will have fungal removed (or changed to not due damage and have the length of its immobilization get pumped back up to 6-8 seconds) or that the infestor will be removed entirely.

the tempest is described as a 'powerful capital ship', so i would think that they are removing the momma ship or carrier. probably the former.

I'll admit I agree with the majority opinion here:

New zerg units > new protoss units > new terran units.
