Hahaha Rest assured I don't think they'll make THAT much of a drastic change on a core unit like that.

If they took out baneling burrow they could just take the raven out of the game and replace it with something else lol

Wings of Liberty was pretty im-balanced and has come very far since it's release in terms of balance the same will be done with HoTs and just like DB(dustin browder said) if they feel it's to im-balanced they won't release it and will continue working on such until it's ready for launch.

Please everyone stop thinking that Zerg is gonna be OP just cause it's the Zerg expansion, the race you play in the campaign and the strongest race do not have to be the same!! Blizzard said they are taking balance very seriously with the expansion since they realize peoples' careers depend on balance!

haha I can imagine having 6 ultra's trapped in a corner by the terran main, using 6 vipers to pull them up to the main and do some damage so they don't all die to the army at the bottom of the base :D
When I think of something else, something will go here

2v2s where you pull your ally's seiged tanks backwards or forwards...(I know balance in 2v2s is w/e)
pulling queens might come in handy
pulling ultras through buildings and up/down cliffs
pulling infestors back after they land fungals
pulling a mothership?

maybe abduct shouldn't work on massive units? it also looks a little silly lol

Surprised this is not there in the OP, but the mothership core has an ability to give an unit/structure full energy.

Meaning yes, you can give your Nexus full energy to chronoboost.


From my personal opinion, this ability will need so heavy nerfage/removal because that's just absurd. I played all 3 races during the trial period, and I have to say so far P>Z>T is what I'm expecting. The mines seem okay (haven't checked there splash when exploding), but the detonation takes forever and is easily visible (though I'm not sure if the enemy will see the flashing red?). Anyone with good control will be able to isolate said ground units, though perhaps it is quite useful when dealing with strong units like Ultralisks.

The warhound really does not seem to add much to TvZ, and I'm holding my breath for it's use in TvP. It seems it will really only affect TvT when playing against mech players. Glad they kept the Thor, Terran can still find it quite useful in many cases.

On another note, Zerg T3 just got even more insane... Those ?vipers? gain energy by stealing life from your own structures, and can cast 10 second clouds that heavily reduces ranged units range to like 1-2?.

Either way, from my perspective Protoss will be the strongest if they do not change things from what I currently played. That energy giving spell realllllyyyy affects a LOT of timing attacks in particular.

Well the point of abduct is to heavy counter expensive large units, Unless we're talking tanks or maybe immortals, there is little non massives that deem worth Abducting. aside from casters of course. It would severely cripple the spell usage. Of course, I wouldn't like losing my Cruisers to your abduct but I am sure I'll find ways to emp or snipe your psionic disgusting snake things before they could do me harm. But I am no flash I am pretty sure my shit will die pretty pathetically horribly.

also in 2v2s you could give energy to your ally's ravens to land a bunch of seeker missles....lol just a thought

also in 2v2s you could give energy to your ally's Vipers, so they can abduct around broodlords to make them move faster, sorry I can't resist the pointless theorycrafting lol

WEAK! NAIVE! What you do is 2x Toss and Core Orgy the energy give (can you?) and then use the now 2 fully powered core to recover more energy on other stuff.

They talked about the new nydus, but it wasn't in the build at MLG because it wasn't ready yet.




Which is quite sad. I was curious to hear more about this. Maybe I missed something? I will have to say, however, this version of HOTS looked far superior to the first unveil.
