I'm glad he's noticing how broken the Shredder looks to be and how poorly designed the Replicant is just from a concept perspective. Honestly, I'm real glad he's one of the main developers, he really knows what he's doing. I facepalmed so hard at this and then I stopped and wondered if he was being sarcastic... Anyways, I hope the new features will fit in with the current ones and not break the game or leave us with this awkward transition between WoL and HotS | ||

I really hope they don't make it into the game. Its gonna be a nightmare to balance it will either be too weak or too strong. It also encourages somewhat poor play in terms of making something then forgetting about it. It will be at every expansion, every watch tower, dropped in the back of bases. Forget sensor towers. Two of these outside your base will alert you of an incoming attack and keep them occupied will you can pull scvs ready to prepare. | ||

Everything in this game seems to rely on chaos and empirical methods, like if there's no clear path or well defined philosophy since the very beginning, and as a result, it's just about adding "cool" units, and removing it when they appear to be broken (but not without trying a tons of stupid things before of course). | ||

imagine if you wall their choke/ramp (kind of like the contain MVP set up in this game) and thrown down a couple of shredders within reach, if the zerg wants to get out he is forced to attack the depot/rax while under the Shredders AOE lol, harsh. And don't get me started on shredder drops around your hatches. | ||

The zerg player has nothing but zerglings, so he cant stop it, the shredder anhilates all workers and all zerglings get roasted trying to stop it. You know that it has a 10 second deploy time, right? | ||
