Protoss would have quite a lot of casters an attacking unit might have been the better choice imo. The swarmhost seems just like a burrowed broodlord just weaker and so far i think the dmg is to low to really bust a choke but we wil see cause the general ideas are just starting to get developed so the units are balanced and uselfull (hopefully  ) | ||

Protoss gets kicked in the balls again... -2 units + 2.5 units that are almost useless(yes replicant isn't even a unit...) Usefulness: 1/5 Zerg gets flying defiler(HELL YEAH) and lurker that has gone back in evolution(well it is not as bad as replicant) so as zerg I don't complain to much. Lack of cheap and fairly fast detection worries me tho keep overseer with no abilities. Usefulness: 4/5 Terran gets optimus prime... this is awsome... cheaper more mobile Thor (or a Goliath) and a spider mine that doesn't blow. Lets mention that no units are removed and that tor is now the dadyship(or just big daddy). Fuck YEAH I'm switching to terran . Rip prottos, Zerg hf. Usefulness: 5/5 | ||

Overseers going is a little worrying given the need for cheap detection. Love having a siege unit with the swarm hosts but I hate the idea of the dmg being done through the locusts. The really slow rate of fire along with the unit probably being 3 like a tank means you would probably need to mass a group of 4-5+ like in the demo videos for them to be effective at holding pressure. They can't be like that hero tank the Terran have that can just hold a ramp super effectively. Also it is going to make z vs z a bigger headache given we can't wall off. The spellcaster could be awesome. No idea why Terran need more control, especially to stop ling runbys given PF's are pretty good at that. | ||

If anything I think they might be a bit too strong (total speculation at this point). I think they did a good job with the Zerg stuff, I am just thinking "how am I going to deal with all THAT". I think they did do a poor job of showing off the swarm hosts. They used a tiny amount of them, didn't really show them being used with anything else and they 'sieged' all 3 at once, rather than staggering the deployment to get a more constant stream. I think in number and staggered they would be effective (again just rampant speculation). | ||

You can't make a caster that has both 0 population requirement and has good spells. The Corruptor is getting a new ability that will hopefully make it more multi-dimensional. They're doing this rather than outright removing it like they were talking about before. The Carrier and Mothership are leaving because no one uses them and they can't really find a use for them. The Mothership's Mass recall is being moved to the nexus (an AWESOME change just btw.) And the tempest is an overall better unit than the carrier. The only thing really being removed here is the mass cloaking field the mothership provided, and to be honest that was never really a big deal to begin with in the super late game, as well as the vortex ability which was never really much good to begin with either. I'd love for them to edit the Mothership, give it some new abilities and keep it in because I think Protoss having a super unit is a good idea, but as it is right now it's neither extremely helpful nor a particularly fun unit to use. The vortex? Lol... In super super late game I'd still archon toilet zergs... And I'm pretty high master EU... Sure, it got slightly nerfed... But a few weeks ago I did a 200/200 vs 200/200 archon toilet against broods, infestors, roaches and the whole thing... I lost like 8 supply while he lost 80... Now, I'll admit... this is broken as hell... But it's working! I honestly don't mind them removing the carrier. I never used it. But the mothership... I'm really puzzled... + the mass recall into an enemy main is an offensive move - where now the nexus will have it as a defensive move instead - which requires we save up energy which I'm not doing untill I've got 3/3/3 and all the tech - so... for 30mins I wont be using this... GREAT!... oh wait... no it isn't -.- | ||

Actually you are just going to spend 450/200, since you don't need to make CC to start making supply depot which allows you to build barracks. | ||

Also, I don't think they need anything that kills workers via drops even faster than stim marines, so...yeah. | ||

It takes like 8 seconds for those things to root down, if you can't move your freaking drones by then, you have no excuse, + 1 spine crawler and those things are dead, I doubt they have more than 50 hp. | ||

Poll: Do you think these T units fill the problems of the race as a whole? Yes (1109) 69% ... Poll: Do you think these Z units fill the problems of the race as a whole? Yes (1240) 76% ... Poll: Do you think these P units fill the problems of the race as a whole? No (1455) 79% No? So... I guess I'd be moving away from Protoss then.... :/ | ||

Uhm if you don't have colossus by then to kill NP you are doing it wrong. I mean when it was 9 range it was possible but not a chance now that it is 7 range. | ||

Tempest is just a big phoenix, i liked the carrier better. Replicant isn't even a protoss unit really...so i guess playing with other races units will be good Oracle is kinda cool, looks like a solid harrassing unit I'm not really excited for them overall, but i'm sure my opinion will change by release as i haven't even played with them yet. | ||

While Toss is mad because they don't get any more OP units like Colossus, HT/Archon, Zealots, Stalkers, Sentries, Immortals, Phoenix, Void Rays, Motherships, Carriers, DT, Photon cannons, and PROBES! | ||
