Generally I like the new units, but the protoss units seem a bit too gimmicky compared to the terran and zerg ones :/

What kind of unit would a protoss clone that would let a non atking unit get into melee range and clone its self and let it get away?

An SCV, which you then use to get a CC for mules and rax for marines.

Just take the SCV and straight up play Terran. EZ



lolol now in the GSL even PvT will be TvT.


There's P in the GSL?

All these new units sound not only stupid, having no distinct role in gameplay [and the "role" they would have would be a lame one] but completely gloss over the issues with the races. Protoss needs a harass unit...give them an oracle? Wtf. Terran is too versatile, give them units with specialized and highly effective roles [?!?!?!]. The zerg army is a little sparse, oh I know, make some retarded unit that spawns things nonstop. The only reason I like the zerg idea at all is that it replaces the overseer with the viper. The rest of this is just bad.

Is this 100% the units that are going in, or just the ones being tested?

All these units are playable in the alpha build being shown off at Blizzcon, I think. Keep in mind that alpha for WoL had the reaver, tempest(DT carrier, not current tempest), gateway immortals, and the lurker.

Keep in mind that, with the replicant, toss gains every harass unit our opponent has.

they fucking leave the marauder untouched?! F you dustin browder, give the protoss a non-gimicky unit that can deal with marauders. i dont wanna cast a paladin-shield on mineral patches, i want to kill workers.

i hope that they will revoke certain changes, this seems rather disappointing to me.

SO PUMPED and so scared by those protoss units omg

Edit : also please don't tell me that protoss and terran gets 3 new units and zerg 2 even though they already have less, although I can see the tempest replacing the carrier and the warhound the thor. But does zerg really keep the corrupter?



Nah, Protoss having two units removed, 3 added. = 1 more unit.
Terran having thor removed, new thor added, transformation mode for hellion added, and a new building. = zero more units, 1 new building.
Zerg having overseer removed, two units added. = 1 more unit

The hydra speed change is stupid. God forbid zergs have a single unit that moves as slow as everyone else's shit (off creep of course).

As a toss player I'm not sure how I few about the new units. Another anti light air unit that won't do well again vikings. Other units kind of weird. Melee mind control might be be hard to pull off. More nexus spells are exciting.

Zerg seemed to got the new cool units.

Terran tempest is mybe to stop mass lings/zeals. New thor should help stop mass muta and make mech work in tvp.

Mass recall on nexus will be very interesting.

Also, does it unlock with research at twilight? or what?

Really curious on casting cost (75 or 100?)
50 would be way too OP

Has great defensive and offensive capabilities.

I guess we may need to hotkey each of our nexus to individual hotkey though. Would hate to get dropped in main and accidently recall defenses to my third.

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.


you dont know what you are talking about.
the reason why marines beat interceptors, is because by 99/100 times by the time carriers are reached, marines are 3-3. 3-3 units that counter another unit that is 0-0 ofcourse will lose

Marines totally destroyed carriers in BW too. The reason you couldn't go marines was because of storm / reavers raping them. Anything with high dps just kills all the interceptors.. mass hydra countered carrier >.>

Frankly, adding new units when the first batch of SC2 is not even balanced yet seems rushed and stupid. At least, zerg got some interesting units. Terran units look either useless (transformer hellion?) or retarded (a static defense that can't defend...) but terran was already a pretty compete race, i guess it's not so worrying. On the other hand, protoss units are just gimmicks. But if you can recall with the nexus, that would be the most OP spell in the history of RTS.

Anyone knows how much this is going to cost?

If Protoss got Recall on their nexus that is fucking idiotic. Auto defend any nexus on the map. LoL

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.


Thank fucking god

Apparently mass recall.

I'm grinning like a fucking idiot right now.


lol that would be so ridiculously op



No kidding. Think of the possibilities with warp prism play!

Blink stalkers 1 side of their base. warp prism on other side


jizz. i seriously doubt its recall tho.. that would just make p's army unkillable

yea i see what you mean..do a base race then just warp army back so they lose a shit ton of production/tech while you can keep yours or try to defend your base.


It'll definitely go through some balance tweaks in Beta. I bet by the end of it it'll cost 150 energy and only recall like 8-10 units.
