Blizzard: Hey guys, we're going to solve the static mech TvT by adding an even longer ranged (probably static) missile launcher! Siege tank is dead, long live the siege tank.

the funny part is that in the end we will have almost the same units as in BW.

I don't think this is the attitude to have. Blizzard doesn't make games as an esport......they make them for a wider range of people than just you.

Why should I care about casuals? They can still make a good game for everyone with an esports focus, they aren't mutually exclusive. This is TL, not the Bnet forums.

as gay as it may sound, it's true.

still afraid of the recall for toss.
this sounds too much like toss doesn't has to risk something when moving out

It feels like they're basing the improvements needed on the way the game played out 6 months ago. I suppose they'll change things around again as WOL develops further.

I agree, I really really really hope this mass recall does not make it through. It just sounds absolutely dumb as a toss could just move out and then recall back. I just see it being dumb and if blizzard does this will be bad for the game imo.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I actually shouted "YES!" outloud to these changes (particularly to the removal of the replicant). Good steps forward - hopefully P gets something useful instead, and T gets something that makes mech more viable xD

idk.. what they had added made mech entirely viable in all matches tbh armored firebats for vs toss and an easier to get antiair (which is now gone from what i read)

really they should scrap the tempest or w/e that ship is called for P and rework carrier to be a more efficient unit .. my personal opinion is to add +1 base armor to the intereceptors and add some move speed to the actual carrier with a better aquisition range and it would actually be a useful capital ship.

It's still an opportunity cost. Recall is probably going to cost 50 energy minimum, which means toss HAS to delay some of their tech or upgrades to get one or two "free" move-outs depending on how long they wait and how many nexi they have. Sure they get to poke and be annoying, but it will take a long time between pokes, and they're going to have slow as balls tech.

I just want to point out how awesome it is that they're actually making massive changes like this after announcing the units.

Its going forward but i dont like the "maybe we keep the thor" line..

same!
hopefully we just get the Goliath. and leave the one big thor for lategame

The Viking is the Goliath...it just has to switch forms to go between ground to ground and air to air attacks.


you forgot it sux vs ground ^^

To be fair, so did the Goliath xD

Right on, but it had it's place in mech compositions. It does in SC2 too.

You must haven't seen much high level Viking ground form play. It can be quite useful in TvT in the early-midgame. Also, in late late late late late game TvT. :D (remember the game with Alive vs MVP or someone on Daybreak in GSL??)

Vipers eating minerals. Under attack? blinding cloud.
I can see 4-5 of these eating minerals in your opponents base pretty frustrating if your terran, with the lack of melee units.


Totally agree. I can see that mechanic getting seriously annoying. I guess turrets shut it down though?


I thought blinding cloud had to be on top of the BIO for it to blind it I am pretty sure? I could be wrong they didn't really say but that's what I was assuming is it had to be on top of the bio for it to work.

Eh, I don't like the idea for Blinding Cloud to only affect bio, as this makes it useless against pretty much all Protoss ranged units like Stalkers, Sentries, Colossi, and Archons which are all not biological. However, perhaps blinding Siege Tanks might make things a bit too difficult for Terran, but maybe that can be tweaked through balancing.

I like this mineral to energy siphon idea. It brings back memories of Consume without necessarily being Consume. However, I'm kinda worried about how this would affect the super late game when most of the map is mined out, or on maps where expansions tend to be farther away from where engagements and pushes happen (like on Tal'Darim).

The missle launcher will just mean the siege lines of tvt are much further apart.

The fact that there isn't a mention of the carrier makes my protoss heart die a little inside...

The tempest was a powerful splash anti-air capital ship at BlizzCon. With the addition of the range upgrade on phoenix in Wings of Liberty we no longer feel like a splash anti-air weapon is necessary on the protoss, but we would still like to give the protoss some additional firepower in the air. The tempest is currently a very long-ranged aerial siege weapon that can strike both air and ground targets. This gives the protoss army some real reach to force an engagement on their terms in the end-game.


Sounds pretty much like the carrier to me but with guaranteed damage (no interceptors to be killed).


They should just give the Colossus a jetpack :D

I think I can fix both the archon toilet and this nexus recall problem easily
