Protoss getting way to imba it looks like. Instant invisible armies everywhere to defend, no risk attacking, sure, I'll tale it as long as I stay Protoss.

22 range lol. That totally won't get changed by release. Need to see a lot of this stuff in action, but sounds like good changes in general, looks like they can patch things now instead of completely rework.

Man micro for Terrans became even more of a nightmare.

The pro's would still use the power. It would cause their opponenent plenty of issues even if it didnt hit which it will sometimes if they arent watching closely.

They'd place the mines at untaken enemy expansions. Worker gets sent to take a new base, gets a big surprise when they arrive.

After watching the hype video the 22 range tempest looked like the one unit that I will be least likely to make when I play protoss.

tanks look really useless in TvP and TvZ now..... or is it only because the way they show it in the video. i don't know how i like about the new units, they all seem pretty Op, especially viper's pull. the range needs to be reduced to 4~5.

Looks interesting so far. I get the feeling once the Mothership Core is up the protoss won't be caught off guard easily.

When I first saw the Widow Mines the first thing that popped into my head was:
The Terror Drones from Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 + Show Spoiler [picture inside] +

The terror drone would run at mechanical units and jump inside them destroying them instantly ... >.>

Not that surprising considering Dustin Browder was one of the lead designer of RA2

The tempest currently has an upgrade to make it's range twenty two.

TWENTY TWO.

The rest of this looks pretty cool except the mothership core seems pretty OP (mass recall early game, wtf). I'm really looked forward to swarm hosts, widow mines and oracles!

Cool, cool and cool (ohh and Mech is gonna be even more unviable in TvP than it is right now *sad face*) STILL COOL!!!
I would like to say:
REPLACE THAT FUCKING SHITTY WARHOUND MODEL IT DOESN'T BELONG JUST FUCKING CHANGE IT!!!

I think these things make going skytoss muuuuuuch safer to zerg all ins, and possibly viable against terran. I am all in favor of some variety in our arsenal! On the other hand, I think cloaking field might be a bit OP when it comes to base defenses. How is zerg supposed to put on any pressure if they can't even see the wall in? Maybe baneling busts since the splash damage could still be affective?

I definitely hope mech will now be a viable option for PvT! Are the mines a full on unit? or are they deployed ala BW? Still not sold on the swarm host, and that burrow charge is hilarious

At the very least, I like these new changes to toss more than the originally implemented plan

edit: Didn't watch the cast. MS is still there

Some news about the Thor? Are they still planning to make it a hero unit or can we keep it as a normal one?

Besides that I´m really excited for the exp to come out. I love trying out new stuff

ANYWAY ... looks interesting so far. I get the feeling once the Mothership Core is up the protoss won't be caught off guard easily.

Have you heard of Spider mines?

So is it just me, or do tanks just suck now?

I have. Does that really matter? These function more like terror drones IMO so ...

22 Range seems a bit extreme lol; mutalisks might become the new hydralisk (which might become the new mutalisks with speed upgrade). I'm really liking the new ability they gave to the Oracle though with cloak field if it stays. It'll be interesting to see how Terran/Zerg handle that.
