I hope all of these units are multiplayer units, not just campaign units, and I can't wait to see these guys in action.  | ||

Maybe good if I need a bunch of voids to compliment my colosus tho? That way, protoss can just open 1-1-1 then go 6-1-1 and basically make any army they want protoss cna tech switch like a zerg? | ||

I saw the Zerg units and got kind of excited but once I moved along I'm really disappointed they couldn't think of anything that would bring tension and excitement while watching. I hope the shredder is actually a renamed mine. | ||

just saying it seems to sway away from traditional brood war or even sc2. we're gonna see crazy compositions since these new units are so versatile and special. | ||

Might want to note the burrow movement banelings! From that it sounds like the Warhound is the poor-mans Goliath. Incredibly disappointed with the shredder if it still has no friendly fire in release. Can't say enough how displeased I am with the new terran names. Battle Hellion? LOL | ||

I mean magic boxing is really only so good because thors cant splash at all really, but with a slight increase in aoe radius,where you are still going to be hitting like 5 mutas, magic boxing or not, it will still not be as ridiculous as thors vs mutas. Wish it didn't have aoe though, since I rather want a good GtA unit, that can fight off fx VRs, rather than one dimensional muta killer like the thor is(well the thor ain't even 'killer'). | ||

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 Basically I agree with you. The new Zerg units look quite good (defiler & lurker^^). (Pull those colossus into infestor NP range!) Terran is basically "We cannot think about something useful - therefore we try to add some basic stuff". Hey atleast they got Goliaths  I thin it's decent what they got.Protoss: "Ok we have no idea. Here's some gimmicky unit (harass but no (low) dmg), another capital ship (Mothership 2.0, or can it be massed?)". So, well. Maybe we give them the ability to replicate the other races units? The replicant just feels gimmicky. I hate it. If I want to use Z or T units I'd play Z or T .... | ||

People are allowed to have opinions, even baseless ones. He can call it dumb all he wants. You would have as much basis for saying it isn't dumb anyway. And anyways, one doesn't have to stick his nose inside a garbage can to know it stinks. But in MY opinion, I love the Zerg units already, but the Protoss and Terran units seem uninspired. Definitely these are not final yet though; still, it's cool that we now know what they're thinking. | ||

It's either a timed no-supply unit like a pdd/autoturret - hopefully not with energy - or an actual unit that is deployed in the same way that a siege tank is deployed. i for some reason hope it gets the pdd/autoturret bonuses from the starport techlab/engineering bay. i just love those ups lol | ||

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. Really? Already? Sorry, but the Viper looks sick. Stop bitching. | ||

I also can see those terran units really helping with mech, especially TvP. Now they can defend places where their army isn't very nicel and cheap with the shredder (similar to Spider Mines), hellions are more tanky in battle which helps against chargelots and if the Warhound actually is good vs air, opposed to Thors who kinda suck in direct fights against air, then that also helps vs those air switches Protoss can do. I can see TvP mech working in HotS and I'm loving it, really all I asked for Terran! Now the Protoss units... wtf is that shit. 2 completely gimmicky looking spellcasters and a unit similar to carrier/mothership. Great fucking deal lol. At least this super overseer thing can scout enemy's unit production nicely which makes Protoss more prepared and also can stop Mules from mining... I still want reaver/reaver+warp prism harrasement. Would be such a great addition if they had a super slow heavy hitter that benefits from being microed especially with warp prism a lot. Also remove that stupid mothership and add arbiters, then we will see recall multitasking action way more often instead of 1A attacks the mothership supports. All in all I feel like they didn't adress Protoss problems with these three units: Protoss can't fight effieciently with small forces and thus can't harrass or defend harrasement very well and only 1A around the map. These units don't adress this. Protoss units suck! | ||
