Even though im a protoss who is no doubt going to hate the yoink ability of the viper i think it looks really good and i feel it fits in with zerg very well, it may be the best unit they have designed. Not to sure on pvz balance atm but that will all change I guess. Also the creep looks awesome

only talking about entertainment/viewing value here, and not balance. Does anyone else feel that the viper, oracle, tempest, and swarm host are very boring to watch? In addition, the artwork and design, just visually are not appealing at all.

After watching the Battle Report, I have no idea how the Protoss ended up beating the Zerg.

Is it really just because the Zerg player didn't bring a single corruptor to snipe that damned oracle the whole game? It looked like every single decent tech unit that the Protoss made got insta scorpion-pulled and killed (colossi, tempest, archon, etc.). Then Protoss just won with zealot/ stalker/ immortal. wtf?


Probably because the zerg was horrible. He was like five base and never got above what, 120 supply while floating 3000 gas even though he's making pretty much solely gas units?

A couple infestors added to that and the stalker/zealot dies quick I bet...With the instakill anything good move I'd assume the zerg shouldnt have lost.

Did anybody really notice the new death animations? The stalker and collosus death's, and the Hydralisk ones, damn.
Also, finally they added Hydralisks to the game, I was missing them from broodwar.

I didn't really feel great about the swarm host before, but after watching that video I'm actually really excited to go for more positional play. Viper and oracle will be units that define HotS in so many ways as well.

I sort of wish the Widow Mine debuff/timer wasn't so glaring and obvious, kind of makes it... I dunno... just bad.

I completely disagree. I thought the late game battles were much more interesting and complex than the Vortex v. broodlord snorefest we have now.

Looks like with abduction the new XvZ end game plan will be to not make any spectacular or strong units. lol.

I think we're about to be extinct. The Zerg took my tanks and made my marines zealots. It.

protoss changes were needed, but the terran changes seem ridic. mech already owned protoss in HOTS, now it's worse.

I think they all look really cool and other than the Vipers pull move I think it was very fun to watch. Swarm hosts are cool stuff imo. Oracles are pretty neat too.

Blizzard loves their death animations, a lot. Personally, I'm hoping for even more over the top ghost and DT screams.

I suppose it was because the Z was floating 4k gas and built zerglings. I wouldn't take that game too serious.
I kinda liked how the swarm host and tempest both seemed to promote positional play. Removed some of my worries.

Come brother. We will go Protoss together. It won't hurt so much if we go together.
