Still looks nice enough though. Not saying I can't wait but it should be fun, the new units look really interesting; | ||

Also why do P need to clone units when they already have very powerful ones? The tempest is lategame, and toss needs help i guess early/midgame not endgame. I agree. And in particular this "replicant" unit seems utterly useless unless it's cheap enough that you can chrono it out to quickly clone more expensive units. All three of the new Toss units just seem gimmicky. | ||

The Replicant is probably the most gimmicky unit possible. What exactly is the point of having something like that? What function is it supposed to serve in a typical game? It will either barely be used, or will end up wildly overpowered and repeatedly nerfed. The Oracle is the only unit that sounds somewhat reasonable, though pretty underwhelming. The reason Terran and Zerg harass is good, is because their "harass" units like Mutas or Hellions can be used as part of their army effectively. Oracle sounds like another gimmick, especially since it's apparently built from a Stargate, which was already a gimmicky tech path with no stable midgame. Curious to see how these new units interact with other changes to the game, but very underwhelmed for the time being. | ||
