This mass recall is fucking game-ruining.

Depending on what zerg detection is like, the matchup might be impossible with Oracle cloak as well.


The only way I see mass-recall being balanced is if it's on a LONG ASS cooldown


It has a huge cooldown. 150 energy (out of 200) plus 3 minute cooldown.


That is an impressive cool down and a huge amount of energy. Plus I am sure Protoss have had a unit like this before, somewhere....

Not sure how I feel about the Widow Mine. While I can see its advantages in lower leagues if Blizzard is designing it so that pros can easily avoid the splash (AND if they decide to add FF -.- ) then it just hurts the terran and won't be used. Either the pro kills the infected unit (terran would have to get lucky to hit an expensive unit vs. a zealot/zergling/etc) , pro sends the unit to cause FF dmg to the terran (melee unit) or they just micro that unit away.

Seems too easily dealt with. I suggest blizzard make the timer short enough that if you don't have very very good micro then you're going to get hit by some AoE.

I was actually really hoping that the Tempest wouldn't be in this build.

What unit casts Widow Mine?


It isn't in the OP's post yet, but they are a factory unit that can be moved around. Sounds kind of like a baneling that can only attack while burrowed.


Can u build 2 with reactors? anyone know?

After watching the Battle Report, I can say i am now VERY optimistic about HOTS

So many new strategies, counters and the tempest range is something i actually LOVE


Shame tempest range will never, ever make it to release.

The concept is nice, but the timer needs to be like 3 seconds at most.

If you place 3-4 mines in one spot, you SHOULD be able to do damage.

Oracle still looks dumb. Having it mass cloak units too? Ridiculous. The targeting missiles on the warhound is good if they want to make it viable against protoss, otherwise they'd just shoot zealots.

Everyone asking about the thor, they must have left it in. The warhound isn't anti air anymore (maybe anti mech air, I don't know how the missiles work), so it's not able to fill in the thor's role. If they did take it out, Terran is beyond screwed in HotS.


Errrr, arbiters were present in BW?
Oracle seems powerful, but I dont think its cloaking mechanism is ridiculous

The fact that anyone's complaining that the Oracle seems OP is pretty hilarious when you consider everything Arbiters could do.

I personally don't like it very much. It makes it a LOT easier to know when to transfer workers to a new base, but on the other hand that's exactly what a skilled player should check all the time, spent some APM on it etc, It makes quite a difference if your saturation is perfect or your base is over/under saturated. Now EVERYONE would have a perfect saturation in every base.

No box workers=no skill.

But seriously, something completely missed in SC2 over BW was you physically could not do everything at once. There was so much happening that you had to balance your choices into your strategy. That's strategic depth. Simplification is not impressive. I'm sure a lot more players will get out of platinum because of it but the easier you make a game, the less interesting it is to watch.

I'm guessing this particular change will have about 0 effect on pro-games. Really minor change that won't change anything about strategic depth at all. I don't think this will make the game any easier on the higher levels at all.

Just watched the PvZ battle report.

- That tempest range looks completely retarded.
- Oracles seem pretty troll
- Mothership needing its own building is a bit weird.
- Hydras aren't stupidly slow anymore

I can see some things already that won't make it to the final release. Overall not very impressed with it so far. I will save further judgement though until HotS beta is open to the public.

These new changes make siege tanks even more useless in HotS especially against Protoss. Tanks were already bad and now with that Tempest they are worthless as soon as those things pop out and starting raping them from 22 range rofl.
