why make 1312 infestors when you can have 1 infestor with enough energy to populate and terraform planets? i.e. terrans and growth | ||

Terran already has the most inconvenient detector unit in the game and now this... No, you just have to build 1 sensor tower and always safe 50 energy on OC. Thats pretty easy against expensive Gas units actually. I think the Viper cloud is pretty bad because it does only affect bio and is useless against toss. Also abduct seems very gimmicky. Will be interesting how it feels. | ||

Bit sad they removed the bombs, spines and cannons will easily counter them now but everything else is great. 7! range, 60 hp (10 more then now) and the auto regenerate as an update, bit less damage to light. Maybe can go mass reaper at start against toss and zerg quiet easily, they can kite stalkers now in theory and roaches should not be a prob at all. Warhound looks like a boring unit,hellion i dont like at all. Not a fan of the transformer units. The mine i dont know, it can be good but i guess if opponent would micro perfectly (ie pull out the targeted unit or send 1-2 cheap units ahead to trigger the mines) i think its just bad and to static. What speed they move btw when not burrowed? dont see that mentioned annywhere, or do you hav to pull them to their location with other units lol. | ||

The reports of 7 were mistaken. The Widow Mines actually move pretty fast above ground and are not bad by any stretch of the imagination. Even if they never splash anything they're still borderline broken - think of the splash damage as a rare bonus. The fact that they force the opponent to micro is already awesome. There are just so many uses and interesting dynamics with those things, I see them becoming a staple in every match-up. | ||

Personally, I think terran looks alright. All the 3 races look more complete now, instead of only 1 race being more complete. | ||

-A single entomb from an Oracle can cover an entire mineral line. -Clairvoyance or whatever it's called is the most crazy OP scouting method of all time. -Tempests aren't as good against mutas as you might think. -They are, however, hilarious for harassing mineral lines from practically halfway across the map using an observer to spot. -The Viper's abduct ability is silly OP. Autowin against deathballs and siege lines that aren't exceptionally well prepared. -Swarm Host locusts have a ranged attack that hits ground and air. -Speed Hydras are scary as hell for Terran to deal with and may open up new ZvP possibilities. -Blinding Cloud is also autowin against siege lines. -Battle Hellions with blue flame are pretty good against chargelots. -Warhounds demolish stalkers and hold up well in general in TvP. -Mech in general seems to work better against Protoss right now. -Mines are really cool but it's easy to split off units and avoid taking splash damage. The main benefit is that it at least momentarily forces your opponent to deal with something besides attacking you. | ||

They were completely redesigned from the original version. Also, when you say blinding cloud is good versus "siege lines".. I assume you mean marine/tank? Because the spell only affects bio. | ||

I haven't kept up with the new ideas at all. As for siege lines, yes, that is what I mean. It's super easy to force the marines back from the tanks with cloud and then kill the tanks practically for free. Mutas remain very valuable late into the game because of this ability. Getting a decent number of Vipers up isn't the easiest thing in the world but with their consume ability, you can defend your base pretty much all day from marine/tank. | ||
