except the hydra is slower than stalkers and stimmed marines...
ok? the point is zerg should not have a speed advantage across the board. any military tactician will tell you that is an enormous edge.

if they want faster hydras
learn to spread creep, i dont know why everyone has problems with hydras they had insane dps, and required creep spread

I love the fact that at least some of these units seem to reward better mechanics. And I'm also pretty happy I switched to zerg

Pick up your new race worker in the Warp prism.

EZ PZ.


So the new stratergy for protoss early game is to steal opponents tech and build either the marauder or the roach + forcefields?

"OH and the destructible rocks are actually a new thing. There are rocks that you can attack to CLOSE paths called collapsible rocks. This really confused me at first, I thought it was a bug, but it's a defensive measure you can choose to use."


This is awesome.

But I guess we won't know till test play.

So, zergs can now pull with viper the unit that counters their enemie's composition best and rape.
I think most of the changes are pretty good overall.

The only concern I have is how that one ability might effect cannon rushes in PvP. Pylons that can attack along with the cannons >.> That could be really annoying


That is an excellent point

No longer just 4 probes to kill a building canon.
Seems to me like an early game pylon push will be wicked

I'm just going to throw down a pylon next to the baracks that htey are building.
Delay their tech by like... how long?
only way to stop it is by pulling workers to kill pylon

Hellions transforms to become MORE durable? Did I read that correctly?



Thats what i said, it is already stupidly hard to kill hellions, if you face 10 hellions you need 90 stalker shots to kill 1k minerals... if they gain hp and stay light, toss will have nothing to oppose them but mass blink stalkers

[image loading]




Void rays?


They deal bonus damage to armored and massive - You suggest massing them to deal with light units?


That would be not only stupid, but imbalanced in my opinion if it worked.

I'm doubting battle-hellions can shoot up.



Regardless

[image loading] then.

Good against vikings, should do well against warhounds unless grouped up, and have a bonus vs light.


Phoenixes good against vikings?

Better than voids, at least.




Phoenix's do good vs vikings, but they are far lower range, unless the vikings are literally flying around the map alone, they wont do too well
1v1 they win, and only Viking vs only Phoenix favors Phoenix as numbers increase (lower ROF for Viking -> more overkill)
Zerg lategame is imbalanced as shit. Also: "Protoss is really strong recently. Perhaps, it's time for there to be some changes for Terran." -MMA. Even MMA asks for buffs. Srsly Blizzard. Srsly.

Why in the flying fuck zerg got the least amount of new units?????



As a zerg player this says two things to me

A. The two new units are so awesome/game changing they didn't add a third

B.(most likely) Zergs getting the biggest redesign in current units IE(Hydras,Corruptors etc.)



I assumed (note that word, I don't know for sure) that Zerg only got 2 because they were not having any units removed while T and P were losing some.

The Overseer is gone and I can see the infestor being taken out.

Don't mind mothership removal since air cloaking should return in LotV (it better).
Really pissed about carriers being removed.
