I was losing interest in SC2, switching into Dota 2 and Diablo 3. This makes me want to play SC again. seems to have made some nice additions to each race. Gj bliz

Balance stuff may be wait and see but what the hell is up with your nexus/hatch/CC telling you how many workers out of 24 you have? That is way too easy button for any non LEGO edition of a game.

Am I the only one pissed off by the fact that the bases now have a worker counter (0/24)?

It promotes laziness and reduces the overall skill needed for macro.

Maybe tanks will get a massive DPS boost since like every new unit is designed to counter them... :D
But, the Terran changes look pretty promising too... so long as everyone mechs :D!

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.

At least Steppes of War isn't still a thing otherwise protoss would one base rush to tempest every game and win without ever leaving their base.

Ba dum tsh.

Hmm after watching the video, my thoughts:

-I like the oracle, similar to the arbiter, except stasis affects economy and not units :p
-Terran... TvT? I feel like pure mech is going to dominate bio... but I don't know much about TvT, so please dont flame me if you disagree ><
-Zerg, that abduct thing seems REALLY scary. Im sure theyll fiddle with the range a bit because I can imagine colossi, tanks, etc getting ripped apart. I guess this calls for better positioning.
-Ultras... for some reason, the first thought I had was geomancer from HoN x_x
-Tanks counter swarm host?
-Tempest... we already know whats going to happen to its 22 range

The auto counting of workers is really stupid. It's good for observers, but should not be in the game for players. I'm not the best at balancing my worker count at each base, but I do not want Blizzard to engage EZ. Really unacceptable imo

I think Terran looks really weak. So, If a zerg doesn't have Detection, walks over the mines and doesn't pull the affected units away in 10 seconds, their good? If I'm reading this correctly, you have to pay for each individual mine, which kinda sucks. Zerg has the coolest ideas, while the protoss ones are weird. The cloaking and recall seem silly.
