But in your mind they aren't because you are zerg and biased. a baneling costs more than a vulture would probably cost; If they make vultures cost gas, it would be OK - though it would break mechs back. (though there would still be the issue that SC2 overlords aren't detectors) Things have to be balanced around their costs. 75minerals (or make it 100) for a ranged, fast unit + 3 mines... That sounds pretty ridicolous to me, when one comparable SC2 mine costs 50/25. | ||

and the fact that they don't mention viper dark swarm nerfs or any nerfs to zerg is actually insane. either hots is getting released soon and zerg will dominate in every matchup, or we wait a year for them to realize that zerg is too strong with it's new units / abilities. | ||

And WOOt Viper gets Consume, is that what they meant by new ability?! Viper had 2 abilities when it was announced: Abduct + the blinding cloud. Abduct = Pudge's meat hook if you played Dota (basically you pulled a target unit towards Viper). Now they've added the pseudo-consume as his 3rd ability. | ||

I'm a bit concerned about the new long-ranged terran missile launcher. The idea to create a more dynamic TvT is all well and good, but if it drastically changes the other match ups it can be a bit worrying. The use of this to destroy expansions, with tank protecting them sounds a bit crazy. Hoping it's low damage to bio/buildings, other wise it's good bye workers. | ||

Agreed. I think people expected the stuff they showed at blizzcon to be an actual representation of what would be in the game, while that is not and has never been the case. When you compare WoL to when they first showed footage of the game, compare that to the beta, and then compare that to release it's almost as if you're looking at 3 completely different games. | ||

And WOOt Viper gets Consume, is that what they meant by new ability?! It sounds like the Blinding Cloud has been changed. Previously it created a "smog tile" that reduced units under it to range 1 but they could micro out. Now it sounds like it hits units in an AoE and they stay blinded (range 1) regardless of where they move for an unknown duration, HOWEVER only bio is affected now. This makes the ability stronger against Terran M&M and zerg roach/hydra armies, but it can no longer be used versus Protoss balls, siege tank lines, mech or bunkered units. This is my understanding anyways. | ||
