If overseers are truly out of the game and vipers are actually a t3 unit, it raises my primary concern ~ because then every protoss will go defensive DT tech and completely nulify all ground aggression, not to mention completely nulify any hope of getting an expansion up because you need creep to put spore crawlers down. Not to mention protoss can easily just mass expand and there would be nothing zerg could do about it except going muta play, which just means that you will easily be able to read what zerg does.

The question stands: will zerg be forced to tech to fast hive now if the vipers are a tier3 unit?

does anyone else feel like some of these just CANT be in mp, like this terran shredder thing? it will only work if no friendly units are around? while cannons and spines attack no matter proximity to friendly forces?, I guess we'll just have to wait for the beta huh?

People forget with Replicants you can become a cloaked ghost with EMP since you get the upgraded abilities I believe...

The saddest thing is that Roaches, Marauders, and Colossus remain unchanged. Uncounterable attack-move units do not create interesting gameplay!

I didn't know that all those units attacked air and weren't outranged by anything.

So is there really any point in investing time to get good at the game at a low level? (mid masters or below that is)... things are gonna change ALLLLL over again for LOV.. -_-

Oh well.. cool to see a lurker type unit back!!

Macro is still going to be the thing to learn at a low level, so it doesn't really matter. Making workers and not getting supply blocked will hopefully stay the same.

As a Zerg, I'm really happy with the units, looks like they will add something to the zerg play. As I reckon we got another t3 (flying defiler) and T2 (Lurker wannabe) , Terran I just don't get at all. The static unit seems like a terrible idea. Just no idea why they would need something like that ? The transforming hellion, what role does it fill that isnt already filled ? And a little thor unit ? Wait what ? What is going on here.

And Protoss... I feel terrible for you guys looking at this. The replica unit, I can see people finding cute ways to replicate ghosts, maybe siege tanks, but really ? This unit seems to be total garbage. No idea what role its suppose to fill besides a quasi-spellcaster kind of ? THe problem with the carrier wasn't the unit itself, it was the tech route & time to get it out. Now they are replacing one of the most iconic Protoss units instead of trying to find a solution for it ? Man, it won't help with mid-game mutalisk at all, the tech path is just to heavy. It just doesnt fix anything now does it ? And the Oracle, its just a Overseer with better abilities, wtf is that ? It might find some cute use if its fast or durable, but my god did Protoss get shafted here.
Dead girls don't say no.

Also damn you blizzard for not giving Zerg more micro units! Ever since the Lurker and Muta-micro were removed, there just hasn't been a good amount of micromanagement payoff for Zerg. Sure...Zerg can micro their units, but the benefits of doing so are so minimal compared to the other races. It's just a race of broad-strokes army positioning and flanking.

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?


it's not hold position it's "stop lurkers", where you either issue an attack on a unit out of range, or spam stop so they don't attack. it was used to hide the fact that your lurkers were there until a huge clump of units was over their splash attack, thus maximizing damage.

oh i finally get it now lol. you just spam the stop or hold hotkey until units are in a good position to be killed from aoe(maximize damage).

or what plexa said ^^


apparently i'm wrong about the execution, lol. but yeah, the premise is the same

Hopefully it has been painfully disembled and the thing inside executed. I hate that unit so much.

from reddit
My friend is at BlizzCon and he's played HoTS. Here are the latest changes.

No more Overseer.
Hydra speed increased.
Viper will permanently grant detection for energy. Lair tech. Grant detection is the cheapest spell.
Burrowed banelings can MOVE. Possibly an upgrade.
Swarm lord spits out broodling-looking things that have 16 attack damage and .87 attack speed.


HYDRA SPEED INCREASED??? Fucking FINALLY

But they seem to require melee range to clone something.

Half this stuff will probably be gone by the time the expansion hits. The remaining half will be changed beyond recognition.
