Im sure you will be whining when you have been lower winrate than P and Z for 15 months and are outnumbered 4 to 1 in GSL by another race

Sure but remember that Blizzard is interested in balancing from Bronze all the way to the Pros.
Apart from GSL, the reality for Terran is very different.

nope terrans never whine they race switch, we are adaptable *-* . Shredder drops look so terrible weak. But i like the lings running into shredders. All the hidden baneling mines and the hold posi lukers will get returned now. And the unit only has range 4 and can be seen. BW terrans probably think i wish lurkers would be that easy to spot.

It's not even GSL, it's ONLY Code S. Code A even has a rather small showing for T.
That being said, there are things about the shredder than we don't know, like if the damage aura stacks. Do we even know if the range is the same from Blizzcon to this mod?

That the damage does not stack has been confirmed by blizzard. It's right there in their presentation. As for the range I cannot say.

That swarm host example is not even close to accurate. The initial wave was, what? 5 Locusts?
The next wave was around 12...
Those things spawn 2 at a time, so there should have been around 40 locusts on the field, and it never even came close.
Otherwise, it's cool to see the concepts in use.

Take 3 bases, put shredder / tanks / bunkers at defensives point while massing Ghosts 8D

That answers that, thanks. Since that's the case, I hardly see how this unit can be considered OP since 2 weeks after release we'll have spread sheets telling us how many of what unit we need to kill shredders without losing anything. Obviously, use will be more dynamic than that, but their "space control" aspects will probably have most utilization as retreat insurance. Leaving them on their own, like you might do with mines, is not likely. That is unless you just place down 20 of them along an attack corridor, but I'm sure that would be more of a troll situation than anything.

long live the shredder. finally an answer to a billion ling run bys

Range is 3 btw.
That make the only unit able to kill them without being hit are Hydra.

What dislike is that I feel like Terran is already very well defended against harassing Zerglings, encouraging the Zerg to keep all of his army in one place at a time.
Harass being automatically handled is BAD, challenging the gamers is GOOD.
Taking a third on maps like Metallopolis is ALMOST impossible as terran because a competent zerg will always attack your expo and run away as soon as he sees your units. The same can be said for protoss, but warp-in kinda help against that.
And please stop saying that siege tanks and PF helps defending. Siege tanks do too little damage so defending an expansion with JUST tanks is not suitable. A PF needs time to morph and a zerg can take an advantage from that.

L O MOTHERFUCKING L.. This is some of the funniest shit ive read in a while..
That being said.. The drops do not look weak at all
Seems like everything just dies about 3 seconds in 
We will also see how much Terran QQ's when Protoss replicate the Shredder 
+ Show Spoiler +If the Replicator doesnt get dropped due too the people who are already QQ'ing about it

Lol, Terrans whine as much as anybody. Remember when Zergs started to use Infestors more? Terran tears as far as the eye could see for at least a solid month straight.

I hope protoss replicates it....every terran unit outranges it lol.
|
The Shredder takes so long to activate that the drops should not be that effective compared to something like a Marine drop. Shredders are also expensive, and pretty much mean one less Siege Tank for the Terran army. I wouldn't worry about them at all.

Yeah, but to counter that, Zerg are rumoured to get another new unit with HotS. It's called roach.
If you want to discuss the shredder, please discuss its basic design, not its stats.
edit: too slow

Ok, bear with me, friends. I'm going to let out what's fundamentally bugging me about this unit (because otherwise I'm going to explode), and then everyone can correct me and I can get back to looking forward to the expansion:
+ Show Spoiler +Everything I detest about ZvT seems to be getting magnified in HotS, and all the fun stuff I've been looking forward to is designed to be:
a) massed before it can be useful, and thus incapable of spicing up the drab, passive, drone-centric Zerg early game, and
b) countered by two Shredders.
|
I hope that the replicant is a flying unit and just hovering. That way, you can fly into the mineral line of a terran and replicate a shredder from far away
|
I like the idea that Blizzard is trying to support, but was it really needed? Terran doesn't need more chokepoint holder units, the siege tank is already great at doing that. I really don't think the shredder will make it to release, it doesn't seem very feasible in high level play.
