EPTI'm happy with the way they look, but alas you can't please everyone. Especially when it comes to nerds and mech.

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. Yeah, the Nexus abilities are the only things I'm really excited about. The replicant seems just like a bit of a cop-out. As if the issues with protoss were not really well understood so they create an expensive everything unit and just hope it all works out. | ||

The battle hellion though, from the trailers and game play clips the hellion acts in a fashion similar to the viking in that it transforms so it looks like I could run them into a base in speedy mode then transform them into unkillable worker toasters and that seems slightly imbalanced to me but time will tell. I would rather they kept the hellion as it is and instead added another unit to Terran mech that does the same or similar job as the battle hellion basically one to shred light units but is not very mobile and can only shoot ground units. That could be way to many units for Terran though. Also not keen on the replicant as it seems as though the role is to copy important units to either counter your enemys composition such as copy ghosts to EMP ghosts that were built to EMP Templar and sentries and that seems verry strong or to copy higher supply units to get more of them for the same supply. | ||

 Vyper looks a bit silly, all the Terran units walk on 2 legs now, and Carriers (  )and MofoShips got removed, but I'm still looking forward to having real Stargate units. | ||

Good luck with that. | ||

Terran always had problems with run by's and raids on expos, and sealing off sections of the map to make a more direct and narrow path to the enemy is ideal for them. Though I heard its expensive. Who knows really how to balance this unit, but I like the idea. | ||

I think they will add some nice versatility to Terran in terms of army composition and the viability of pure mech in all match ups.

The replicant though I like, but it just can't be balanced. It will either be too powerful replicating siege tanks and broodlords or too weak replicating roaches or helions. | ||

Protoss units sound dumb except the Tempest. And all the Terran units are just going to make Terran even more noob friendly. | ||

Either way, they are trying to make mech more viable. Hmm I think it does things for all 3 matchups 1. Siege tanks are too ubiquitous in TvT so they wanted something that tears up tanks (personally I thought marauders already did this quite well). 2. Terrans lategame TvP options are still based on bio + medivac which is boring compared to the wide gamut of options a protoss can bring with archons, zealots, stalkers, collosus, ht, immortals, etc. This will hopefully allow terrans to mix it up with a wider variety of units. 3. They flat out said they want something that can react to mutalisks better than thors so there's that. Also mass lings will be easily cleaned up by battle hellions and ling runbys will die to the shredder. I like that these new units are good when mixed into the existing terran composition. | ||

Don't really like the Warhound's model. I want my goliaths back (with a reskin). Oracle + Replicator seems a little too cute/useless. | ||
