All I can say is that Hots seems to be more micro heavy than WoL. I like it  . | ||

the terran units are OKAY, theyve given back the firebat in vikinglike fashion, theyve given some weird shreddery spiderman like thing for some map control, and theyve given back the goliath, but personally i think it looks like a piece of shit and they should have just brought back the goliatch cos it looks cooler. but i HATE the protoss changes, theyve taken away our carrier because its never used (because its impossible to use) and replaced it with the unit which should be what the phoenix is...except theyre putting it in the role of a carrier....so it will never get used... because zergs will have transitioned out of mass muta into corrupter viper broodlord by the time u have a feelt beacon out anyways.... the oracle and replicant are two little shitty looking floating orbs... really? one of them is a "harassment" unit, that doesnt even kill probs, just puts stasis on mineral fields (which apparently are destructible too) and the other costs 200/200 and 4 supply and all is basically a changeling, that CANT turn into anything useful like a battlecruiser or an ultralisk, but into something like A marine, or A hellion, or A tank only usefulness i can see for that unit is in pvp, where copying an immortal or something could switch the tide.. but thats still an extra 100 gas for an immortal :/ not only that but they took away the mothership, which is GOOD....BUT... they didnt give us back our arbiters, instead they gave us a wc3 scroll of town portal -_- | ||

if you have ability to copy anything, why wait till you see them on battle field? At the same time, I like the idea of Oracle. | ||

1. Terran didn't need new stuff, but I do like goliath substitute instead of Thors (notice multiple). 2. Zerg units are sick as, really going to make Z all the more potent and powerful. 3. Protoss Replicant and Oracle are gimmicky. I don't see them being properly utilized in properly meaningful ways. I wanted a "raider" unit that actually killed things. Tempest is ok (great against mutaliskuuuu ZvP meta-shift) but i'm mourning the death of the Carrier  | ||

No, they still counter your gateway stuff... because you dont steal the ghost... you just replicate it... they still get the ghost... you get a ghost too... | ||

The units it produces last 15 seconds and seem to move pretty fast. With 90 hp I think they would often reach tank lines too. I think it ends up being like the Broodlord, where you're forcing the terran to unsiege if he doesn't want to kill his own units with tank fire. It looks effective, but I still don't think it's as cool as the lurker though. | ||

I think zerglings will be cheaper/more mobile replacements for small groups of enemies and brood lords are much better for large groups. We'll have to see how effective it is at its job but judging from the video, 9 swarm hosts took awhile to take down 1.5 bunkers. i dont see it being very useful, they spawn so slow, and it looks like a quick scan will kill them pretty easily | ||

It looks like: Hey! Now you can have some real units (like an infestor, a banshee, etc...) instead of your useless stuff Oracle: Yes/Maybe It have some potential in PvZ imho Tempest: No I want the "old" carrier and the "old" arbiter back, Tempest looks like a Valkyrie with a different skin. And btw it seems ironic that the protoss "capital ship" is just a counter to one single Tier 2 zerg unit. Do you think these P units fill the problems of the race as a whole? I don't know. Some stuff like the new nexus abilities can really help btw. | ||
