Ghosts, siege tanks, ravens, and banshees from terran. Keep in the mind mech will become much more common in HOTS in tvp so siege tanks will always be available. And one raven with full energy and 2 pdds pretty much negates your opponents vikings. | ||

I'm sure it could be plenty strong, I don't have a problem with it for that reason. Problem is I can only see two outcomes for it: 1) A gimmicky, responsive unit, used to stop certain timing pushes by changing the composition you have, giving you a tank to hold them off or somesuch. 2) The metagame results in easy access to replicated ravens, tanks etc. They become a regular part of your army. I don't like 1 because it's reactive and gimmicky. I don't like 2 because it make Protoss less Protossy. | ||

Thing about scvs repairing collosus, or scvs repairing immortals. SCVs can't repair Toss units can they? Couldn't in BW anyway IIRC..only healing works? | ||

This unit has the potentional to change the entire way Protoss is played! Yes, because what it actually does is CHANGING THE FUCKING RACE YOU'RE PLAYING! | ||
