Zerg and Protoss finally getting counters for the Ghost EMP.

Protoss can now do it by replecating the Ghosts themselves and having them EMP other ghosts and Zerg can do it by using that new 'Dark Swarm ability which not only blocks ranged attacks but also spells/abilities.

warhound = goliath

viper = defiler

where is the reaper dawgggsss.

i'm actually concerned with this. usually units are grounded and simplistic, but these units sound so special and unique. incorperating a cloning unit into a normal army or a burrowed unit spawner seems to out of it.

with these new units it seems that blizzard wants players to branch out their tech trees significantly more.

Dustin screws the Zergs yet again! First off the Zerg gets 2 units while everyone else gets 3... sigh.

Dustin helps out the terran by deciding to get rid of the one crux the hellion had. which was their durability. He then upgrades the Thor so it does better against Mech Units. Then decides to give the terran a lurker type unit so he can shut down a whole path way with his shredders whirlwind of doom.

Then for toss he basically upgrades the observer to see every upgrade, unit being built, allow it to harass workers and then corrupt buildings as well. Then he decides to give basically the voidray with AoE . I mean this units seems like it was tailored to be a muta killer. Also lets also have the protoss be able to you know duplicate any create that isn't massive so the can duplicate infestors to fungal growth Zerg units.

Then Dustin decides that the Zerg should get a burrowed broodlord, I mean same creature basically but under ground. Then finally lets just revamp the Raven for zerg and give it a type of Vortex. Then lets make both units look like they are Hydras so they most likely are upgrades from Hydra...

Basically Dustin decided to nerf Zerg and buff Terran/Toss as usual. It seems rather stupid to give the terran a unit, which functioned like a SC:BW unit, and then basically revamp 5 units to either buff them or give them to another race.
