Replicant: No
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.

As a Terran I'm still not sold on The battle Hellion the other units I like though. 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 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.

as Terran the Shredder looks awesome, but could be abused and overpowered. If you block off a path to an expansion with those, why use a PF at all?

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.

200 gas per marine?

Good luck with that.

I like the direction they are heading with terran - more mech in TvP especially, but I would have strongly preferred goliaths and vultures and a removal of the marauuder. Either way, they are trying to make mech more viable.
