Marines are the reason they removed carriers
They are too good against interceptors

IMO they shoudl have just given interceptors 5 armor. Doesnt really fit lore wise that the itnerceptor would have so much though. Balance wise it would be reasonable. People should be punished by not focusing the actual carrier.

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.


Increased Hydra speed is huge.

Any info on things like:
Collosi Changes
Thor gone?
Costs of anything
How effective are the viper's other spells?

Excuse me, but how is everyone not talking about:

Burrow moveable banelings. That is all.


This means that all Zerg units can burrow move! That may as well be a new unit; hell, it's better than a new unit. And it's something I've been saying since they gave Roaches burrow-move.

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 ^^


There's actually a liquipedia thing on the subject that probably comes up if you google it but I guess that's too much effort for most people.

No it doesn't, what a ridiculous extrapolation with no evidence.

I was honestly hoping they would do away with destructible rocks entirely, instead they add a new feature collapsible rocks.

Is Blizzard retarded or sth? Boosting Zerg and Toss late game, which is already strong and leaving the terran late game the way it was? That is just ridiciolous. How are they expecting terran to play late game if all we can mass up is shitty bio / weak fact units. N/c

Zerg and Toss look like there getting really unique units that are going to increase the skill cap a lot.

Cool!.

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?


Overseers are gone, but viper is a tier2 unit. However it's other spells might be tier3.

do we know how much increased from 2.25 is the Hydra speed? Is it an upgrade or a base increase?

These new protoss units are awful. They seem too gimmicky.

We need a harass unit. Not something that can't even kill. Bubbles... Seriously... You came up with bubbles...


those protoss units are exactly what we need, you're just to retarded to see good use for them.

lolwat..these units are not what protoss need at all besides the harass thing with warp in > nexus recall if that is right.

imo you just can't really balance a unit that prevents mineral harvesting. 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.


Well that appears to be the design philosophy for toss. The entire effectiveness of the race is based around assorted gimmicks.


I wish that weren't true D:
Different races are different. If you dont like the mechanics of protoss, dont play protoss.

wtf Zerg only gets two new units and both Terran and Toss get three!?!? I like the Zerg ones, Tempest and Oracle. The rest looks meh. Is there any actual gameplay footage?
