I got a buddy that's high diamond so a little lower level than I am who has 90% winrate vs Toss when he goes Muta. I think the only reason Baneling drops and roaches are seen more is because it's more stable and consistent results. Rather than you either mash them or get mashed instantly with muta. | ||

I don't see what's so bad about the Warhound when it's basically similar to the "Thor" in Mechwarrior 3 whereas the Goliath looks like the MadCat. I think both look equally awesome and anything that pushes Terran into a Mech trend rather than Marauder spam is fine by me. | ||

Warhound is basically a marauder with an anti-air gun. -_- "Sucks vs zealots and owns every other protoss unit". Yep that's a marauder, DB. | ||

Zerg still does not have a reliable form of anti-ground splash. Banelings and Fungal are of limited use and ultralisks come way too late. Of course the Viper alleviates some of these issues by forcing clumps of ranged units to move more. But, we still dont have that lurker-like creature that once deployed can shred masses of units. And that will show especially on the defensive where no matter how creative you get with your banelings and vipers you will still be forced to have a huge army to defend your base instead of a handful (like the siege tanks and to a lesser extent sentries) This is a major principle an RTS game that Zerg lacks, Protoss also kinda lacks and Terran has a huge plenty of. We need to be able to properly defend key points with ease and it is tactical splash units that do so. (like the new shredder). So: what I would propose, but I know I'll get hate for it, is that this new Swarm Host, also attacks like a Lurker when deployed. So it is a huge range creature spawner (which kinda overlaps with the brood lord) and a shorter range splash dealer. | ||

It's an interesting dynamic, but some aoe turret built out of a factory seems soooo weird and out of place to me. Terrans also have a couple ways already to zone units with tanks/bunkers/building placements and turrets. Do they really need another? | ||

Yeah well, we can discuss these new abilities and units, but fact is, most of us haven't played them yet and can't make any real judgement. Sure, some new stuff might seem unbalanced/weak/wrong, but i think we just have to see. I personally like everything new that is being added to the game. Anyone will find a way to use these new things. And if there isn't a way found to deal with these, Blizzard will take it out. Nice and simple  The main problem might be, that during this "lets see how the unit works"-period there are some tournaments being played with these units. And the imbalance of the units might affect the outcome of these matches..... Well... | ||

A large muta flock is basically gg. Loads of top Zergs use them in ZvP. I like the Tempest - ability to wrest air control, and generally dominate as Protoss should be able to do given enough $$. Oracle sounds cool too, for that harass we so badly need. Don't get the replicant though. What's it supposed to do? | ||

swarm host seems too simliar to infestor. they require exactly the same tech, and you can spawn free units with them if they're burrowed. if you have an infestation pit and burrow, why would you ever make swarm hosts when you can make infestors? i really like the swarm host and the idea of it but i think it's simply too similar to the infestor right now. | ||
