Well my vrs cost 50 gas instead of 50 mins. But I also have more units available. You go templar? Well I also do, but I was going robo before and still I have storm at the same time like you. So you can't 4 gate because pylon power fields don't reach the high ground. And if you go Void Rays than your Voids can be copied at around the same cost and you'll die since your opponent will also have access to Robo units too. If you go for DT's I just replicate your DT and if you don't have detection you die, if you do, I am ahead due to what you spent on the Dark Shrine. I guess opening Blink is still somewhat viable, but basically the changes until this point in HOTS means than Colossus Wars is coming, and you can't stop it... | ||

THE EFFING FOOD COST. If it's 3 or lower, an army of these would be quite devastating if any high food units are on the map. Also, this is a useless unit in PvT if the meta continues revolve around MMM, because nothing costs above 200/200 in that composition. In PvZ, they basically shut down late game units, but most likely won't have any other uses. | ||

You just make 1 and then start making replicators ... Edit: this would make Archons, colossi and tempests cheaper. It would make void rays 50 minerals cheaper, but 50 gas more expensive so you probably wouldn't do that. No.. 200/200 is already kind of expensive.. Everything we have costs an arm and a leg.. Quiet with your nonsense | ||

Considering that one MULE > 4 Probes, I could just throw away Probes once I reached max supply. Plus, if MULEs are even remotely OP at 200/200 and 4 Supply, how can Blizzard say they're balanced at 50 Energy, no supply, no cost? | ||

Also, replicated units come with all applicable tech already researched... even if the enemy didn't have the research! Imagine siege containing a Terran before he had siege tech or neuralling a Zerg's infestor to fungal their army before they had neural! XDDD | ||

And if your opponent is going marines, zerglings or mutas, you can always keep the replicator or bring home a worker. Instead of thinking of this unit to stop one strategy, to take over one unit, I think the cost was meant to discourage that, and was meant to be used as a sneaky little fucker. late game, mass recalling around a few siegetanks in siege mode around to defend bases would be kick arse, if you could get a viper it would be well worth the cost of the replicator to make all of his roaches/hydras useless, and be able to detect them running slowly burrowing away. And we haven't even begun to think about the BM this unit would enable... Protoss will have the ultimate BM of replicating marines and making them dance! | ||

Edit: didn't realize you could do this from your base anyway, I thought you needed line of sight. | ||
