If the replicant makes it into the game, you just CAN'T win with tech versus protoss. You can't do cute shit with infestor ling (because herp derp, I have infestors too!), you can't win with ghosts (Because I have EMP too!), etc. It's just too powerful to be able to essentially pidgeonhole the Terran into going MMM and the zerg going hydraroach corrupter and just having more shit. Any time you bust out some tech to do anything, he's just going to have that same tech plus a better army.

I don't see how you can't possibly consider the option that they could do something like increase the price of the replicator so that it is only good in specific situations, otherwise you will just get outnumbered. | ||

I can't comment on Zerg, but I'm pretty sure you can't place buildings on creep ( no pylons ) It's not as simple as you make it out to be. 2) I can't wait for the insane zealot/sentry/stalker/medivac micro... Every 3 replicators is 1 less sentry. Same for zealots. While it'll be powerful, the lack of numbers is very bad news against marauder/medivac of equal numbers. As for Zerg, likely Swarmhost/toach will be a good counter to roach/sling anyhow so, while zealot/r.infestor is strong, I don't see it being ZOMGWTFBBQROFLOCOPTERPWN. 3) See (2). | ||

I do however, see Protoss pros such as White-ra making good use of them.  So excited. | ||

Is it's build time the same as a Colossus? If it's shorter, you could get colossi faster since I think they cost the same. Also, getting a viper for dark swarm would work great if you want to go air Toss. And you can make your own tanks to stop the 1-1-1 | ||

First of all, it DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. I've said this before and I'm going to say this again: If I play PROTOSS, then I want PROTOSS UNITS. If I wanted Terran or Zerg units, I WOULD PLAY TERRAN OR ZERG, FOR TASSADAR'S SAKE! What is wrong with Blizzard? What's the point in giving a unit that COPIES other units instead of adding a NEW UNIT to the game? Do you guys realize that the Replicator is not a unit by itself? You guys realize how pointless and stupid, design-wise, is this unit? I'm pretty pissed with this. | ||

I wouldn't say I have a violent fervor against the replicant, but I do think it's dumb to have a unit entirely dedicated to copying other races' units... Sure it provides interesting theory for gameplay but it does not fit the game. | ||

I think it's a neat idea however I liked dark archon's MC a little better ;; a wells | ||

Replicated sentry is good if you only want to hallucinate scout or as meat shields. Mid-late game it's good to have some replicators handy in case you need a quick tech switch. E.g. Instead of having to choose between immortals and HT, one immortal and one HT and four replicators mean you can choose to either have 5 immortals, 5 HT or any number in between. Another amazing use is after being EMP'd, replicating a unit gives the replicatpr full HP/shields and MP of the target. E.g. Replicate an EMP'd immortal and the r.immortal has max shields up. | ||
