That ability single-handedly delays every doors of zerg, which is unfortunate for them. Even in the battle report they admit that there isn't anything much different for zerg in early game. If you are a zerg player, you should be unhappy about it. There are plenty of opportunities to get aggressive early with zerg, most zerg players just don't have the right mindset to pilot their race. Early roach busts, baneling busts, 6 pool into macro transition... DRG used several of these this weekend. | ||

Sentry:i didnt see this listed anywhere but in this build guardian shield is only 75 energy. Mothership Core: with a 2 base8 gate all in having the core re energize all chrono on nexus and then teleporting to natural nexus to do same thing gives you so much chrono. Makes any type of 2 base a whole lot stronger since you can chrono out upgrades so much faster Tempest: Having 22 range is great but thats it. In a straight up battle its pathetic. Oracle: cloaking a mothership is lol. Emtombing a patch against terran that just drops 8 mules is really powerful. Mothership: I was really interested in stasis the most. It can be used really well to bait a reaction ( corrupters, or vikings) and just locking down there air to air and rolling with the rest of your army Overall I think every race was purposely overpowered in some way or another and they will tone back everything with the beta release | ||

In a straight up battle its pathetic Guardian shield has always been 75 energy.... how long have you been playing Protoss?? I'm 100% certain they're going to remove Energize's ability to target buildings. They were probably just playing around with it because why not. Tempest is definitely not designed for a straight up battle. Why would you ever want it in one when you have 22 range in the first place?  | ||

In my opinion, I think warhound should be tweak to be a "mech's ghost" more than a mech's marauder, with the missile tweak to be like snipe but only affects the mechanical unit. | ||

Then the swarm host and the widow mine, do they really need to be anti air? I also think the range of the widow mine is abit too high. | ||

I mean..not even close to the BW ones Just run random zerglings all over the place and activate all the mines Or when you got stuck with the mine, you can kill that unit off by yoursel. Moreover, right now the mine is still in experiment, it can friendly-fire, so if you got hit by the mine, just move that unit into the Terran and let it explode. Imagine a bunch of zergling got hit by the mines and run toward Terran's army, this looks just like baneling, except faster and stronger lol. Well, at least Terran will know they have 10 sec to get the f out of there. | ||

Just think if you aren't making the same mistake with some of the new units we're seeing now just because they look cool and fun. I don't remember. Back when it only shot 1 laser and traced targets (or w/e) i still thought it looked weird compared to the reaver. | ||

The difference here is that back then the entire game was new and shiny and no one had any idea what to expect until Beta when they could actually play it and get a feel for it. | ||

The killing your own unit to defuse the mine is true, but I find that kinda cool. | ||
