The Warhound, I think, is a good idea for its mech killing ability and anti-air potential which, coupled with the space-controlling Shredder, should give Mech the viability it deeply desires in TvP. It just LOOKS absolutely terrible aesthetically. I don't want to use the unit just because of how clunky and awkward it looks. Everything else I like. I'm not entirely sure if I think the battle hellion was the best way to change the hellion, but it definitely works, so I'm not going to complain. | ||

really maybe on terran warhound and fixing terran overall. i can see though that they are trying. the other races problems will be somewhat handled after much battlefield experimentation. i think they should let the community help in all stages by posting a custom map or two that are converted to HotS a la SC2BW, etc. it could be "open alpha" if you already own the game. p.s.: this is only game 2 of 3. | ||

Zerg...well, at least the Viper is kinda neat. I like the plague spell and the pull. Swarm...ugh. I was so excited that it looked like a morphed roach, that it'd function the same as a lurker (upgraded T1 unit in T2). For it to be effective at all they would greatly have to increase the spawn rate of the broodlings. I really don't know what to say about Protoss. The Tempest functions well in one area, dealing with mass Mutalisk. I really like the Stasis type effect for the Oracle, but I would much rather it kill workers than a luke-warm lock down on minerals that probably won't be nearly as effective in practice. As for the Replicant? Give us unique units that mesh well with a general design philosophy for the race. "Stealing" units from the other race seems lazy and poorly designed. | ||

Anyway, seeing how blizzard were approaching or explaining the reasoning behind the new protoss units clearly reminded me what I ve just stated above. Which is offcourse pure theory and may be totally wrong. I' m protoss btw, sad too. | ||

-Oracle: I think it has potential, but its harassment skill isn't nearly powerful or important enough. I'd scratch that and do something else. The building disabling skill sounds good, it has tons of uses. -Warhound: Graphics are terrible, god the model is bad. -Swarm host: This unit is very strange to me, imo, it's the less zergy of all zerg units. Zerg isn't supposed to be slow and methodical, it's supposed to swarm you and rape terran wives and kill their children. And gameplay wise, it's strange too, and it might require some balancing, considering locusts are pretty much glorified zerglings. About other things: I don't like how Blizzard refuse to deal with gateway units being so terrible to support warpgates. I like the tempest but I don't know about removing the Carrier, it could have been saved with some changes. Bane burrow movement and ultra burrow charge are good, it will force terran to carry mobile detection and pay more attention to mineral lines, and it might make the ultra worthwhile. I also like the replicant, I think it doesn't solve protoss' problems, but it's an extremely interesting unit. Finally, the design team seems really uninspired imo. Browder is just... a bit angering, and Kim just looks tired and bored. I don't know, something's off, and their design decisions don't seem as good. We'll have to wait and see. | ||

The replicant, as unit, is an horrible idea. *imagine a DT "morphing" into a siege tank (LOL) | ||

It's made from spare parts as Raynor isn't made of money, he's built a new unit out of old parts so he can produce it cheaper <3 | ||

Make interceptors AA with splash, hell even make them invulnerable if that is what is necessary.. And give the actual Carrier a simple GtA attack. Protoss doesn't even feel like Protoss anymore, they feel like the War of the Worlds aliens (the shitty tom cruise one), they ought to feel more like Predators from AvP | ||
