Dark Swarm, finally. That's all i ever wanted.

And for them to remove the piece of shit hydra, but i'm satisfied with Dark Swarm for now.


It isn't Dark Swarm. It's Disruption Web for Zerg.


Much rather have dweb than swarm, marines are already negated from having to run from banelings, it's the tanks that rape them. Tanks still rape anything under swarm, but with dweb they can't even fire

the problem is: will the vipers be able to get in range? ;o


Unless siege tanks can now shoot up, then yes.

from that reddit thread it's not actually dark swarm, it's disruption web. It doesn't prevent ranged damage, it prevents whatever units are under it from executing ranged attacks.


Does "reverse dark swarm" also prevent melee attacks under it? Or is it just ranged attacks that cannot be executed under it. I though DWeb stopped all attacks from under it, not jsut ranged attacks.
This will make lings and banelings much stronger v marines and stalkers with fungal + reverse swarm.

Dweb prevents all ranged attacks from being fired under it. So ranged attacks attacking into Dweb and melee attacks anywhere still work.


that is unless you're playing broodwar... where NO attacks work under dweb

Can the replicon clone friendly units? If the case, it has a HUGE potential.

If its cheap, you make 1 HT or DT back at base, and for a cheaper cost, you make an army of them with replicons.

Just like Hallucination right?

To be honest, I'm not that impressed overall.

Especially with the removal of units for the most part.

how did you micro lurkers? you just burrow and let them sit there dont you?


the same way you control tanks in siege mode

Except you know hold position and all that jazz.... Lurkers are not siege and forget units.

Can you explain hold position lurkers? If they can't move, why does it matter if they hold position? Why would it matter for this new sc2 unit?
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I am so happy that terran gets the most blunt units. Protoss got the most fun, than zerg.

Broodlord - swarm host - infestor could be super cost effective if you can keep the units alive and only waste their spawns + infestor energy. Not that broodlords are known for their longevity, but this sounds like an exciting end game mix!



Day9 himself stated that protoss cant deal with broodlord infestor cost effectively... swarm hosts will kill the balance unless the new protoss units are good vs the unit mix

Oracle and tempest from stargate? That's fuckin weird. I thought oracle would be a robo unit


It's to give Stargate tech detection.

That makes stargate a viable counter to the 1-1-1 IMO as well as making protoss air strats not complete ass and countered by 1 cloaked unit.

What the fuck ;> No more carrier makes me a sadpanda, I had hoped they would just revamp it QQ.

The units look fucking sick though, except for the terran ones, but they odn't deserve it.
IS THE MARAUDER GONE BTW?
It appears I have been chosen.

No confirmation that the thor is missing. I wouldn't mind seeing it stay, otherwise terran have no 'big' ground unit, admittedly that's not essential but I'd be surprised if blizz did it. I imagine the warhound is a reactor unit, too, which should be awesome.

Hold Position lurkers are basically burrowed banelings. No joke.
