The two things I've noted:

-If warhound does bonus to mechanical, mech in TvP may finally be possible.

I take it you've never heard of the ranged, flying DT unit known as the Banshee.

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.

wait

i dont get it

Perhaps the strength of the turret differs depending on what building it is cast on. So a turret on a pylon is really weak, but one on a gateway or nexus is powerful enough to help hold off early pools/ 2 rax.

Overseers are taken out, hydra gets a speed buff and they can evolve into lurkers now. Ultra could possibly be getting a revamp.

ultras now have a new unique army so that no unit gets bonus damage to them, and have 10 armor :O. I really hate marauders/marines vs ultras atm.

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.

Blizzard doesn't have another 7 years to work on HotS though.

For everyone worrying about the Carrier: There's another expansion coming after this. Can't you just see them sitting in the meeting room when someone says "What if we removed the Carrier" and someone replies "The most iconic Protoss unit? Are you serious?"`and then the first guy goes "yeah but we bring it back for LotV, the protoss expansion you know, eh, eh!?";

Replicants are going to be useless. I think it's a half assed attempt to give protoss dark archons, but without the benefit of breaking supply cap or the transfer of upgrades in pvp. I can't see any situation where I'd use this.

WHAT? The possibilities are endless!

Copy an SCV

Make Command Center

Make Barracks

MASS MARINES!

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

.... Corruptor spell and ultra charge are definitely news.

I just got the mental image of a burrowed ultra charging through the ground and then jumping like a dolphin.

Hellions are extremely fragile. Dunno what you're talking about. o_O

Against what? Only terrans can kill hellions fast and you can't really complain like that. Protoss has nothing that can kill hellions fast enough.

Not like burrow move banelings will matter, since scanner sweep reveals like 10% of a map.
