Idk why the terran players are complaining, I'm terran and I'm fucking stoked. TvP mech? YEH. Medivac/shredder micro to control space and harass? yup.

The units look fucking sick though, except for the terran ones, but they odn't deserve it.
IS THE MARAUDER GONE BTW?


Hope not, cuz all i'm gonna be doing is massing replicants and copying them and droping terran lol


That's a good idea actually, use replicant's to "mass" stalkers then change them to phoenixes/HT/etc, definitely gives toss the flexibility to respond to threats.

I'd like to comment as well on the Oracle's ability to "see what an enemy structure is building." Can anyone think of a scenario where, if you already have sight into an enemy base, you wouldn't be able to contextually figure out what they're building?

^Very good question

It's just a guess, but I'm thinking that pylons might not be counted in this stipulation? Only buildings, like core, gate, stargate, etc..? If not, this makes pylon blocking a zerg natural extremely likely, and much more effective.

Helion transformer is stupid, new terran units are boring aside from shredder. New zerg units look interesting and new protoss units are eh (tempest is pretty boring but carrier has to go / change) and replicant could have some interesting uses since protoss can complement their arsenal with units of another race.

For the same reasons people play protoss now. Because you love your race :D

Truth. I'm sure things will change by release anyways, anyone else remember the soul surfer (hunter) from P? We all remember how long that lasted.

[image loading]

That thing was designed so it can lvl lol?Such a stupid unit that was.
That's why I don't read too much into these new units.2/3 of the things that blizzard originally design gets either scrapped or reworked.

I wasn't too excited about HotS until now, but with all this new info released, it seems quite interesting to say the least. I really like Viper's graphical design. Most of the abilities will probably get completely changed by the time HotS gets actually released so I'm trying not to get too hyped about those only to get disappointed later on, but still.

The two things I've noted:

-If warhound does bonus to mechanical, mech in TvP may finally be possible.
-Moveable burrowed banelings are the most broken thing I've ever heard of

you just found your solution! Don't ball up!!

Good point, I'm glad my units don't rely on army integrity or positioning enough that I can spread them out in a glorious, massive arc at any point in the game.

Artosis was able to use it on a pylon, but alpha is alpha.

The new HotS units are sick! Off-creep speed upgrade for hydras, burrow charge ability for ultras, new infestation pit unit like a lurker, but spawns two high-dps units every 15 seconds or so while burrowed. Lair tech caster flyer Viper that can make units detectors, spawn a cloud that disables casting and ranged attack, and a tentacle that can pull a unit in from long range. Corrupters now have a channeled ability against building that gives one mineral a second and does 1dps.

From Psystarcraft's FB, not sure if anything here is new news to you guys.

But seriously... I play Z, and even I think that's kind of dumb. Make fungal either not do damage and last longer or not completely stop the units, have them move really slowly instead.

Of course zerg units look amazing as it is there turn now.

Indeed I'm glad they added the Goliath back and even firebats lol. A shame the unit design isn't as cool, but I may start playing some terran again in the future. I'm staying well clear from Toss though. I think they got shafted again XD

That's actually the first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture. FIREBATS?? AND GOLIATH?? oh my. Even if they aren't the strongest units upon release, I think it will add much more factory play to terran. Which is a good thing IMO. Poor toss, you guys will be back someday!! Hopefully blizzard realizes toss's shortcomings soon enough.
