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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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

 But in all seriousness, they all look pretty awsome, with exeption of the first protoss unit, looks silly >.< | ||

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. | ||
