Unless it takes an hour to fire or reload. That could be interesting and keep it from being added to the deathball. I can see it working, but it is still crazy. But I guess I am in the mood for some crazy units.

Monotony TvT ? Do they mean mech TvT , because that is the most interesting MU in the game ?
Reaper with regeneration ? Hello TvZ opener :D .

AoE cloaking field taken from mothership. Same ability usage wise. Tempest - long range expensive range of 10 upgrade to 22

TvT is by far the best matchup in the game. But Blizzard is fond of butchering their game so I'm sure they will have no problem in turning into an a move shit fest like the other matchups to make it more exciting for gold league players

Yea I think it has the potential to be really cool. I really want to see it in action before I pass judgment.

if they didn't want to add to the protoss deathball, why can the oracle cloak other units?
22 range tempest? time to learn to split all the air on the run?

22 range O_o how is that even possible
|
next update will for sure nerf viper range to 6 to bring it in line with infestor, making it just another useless spell in the game for zergs 
|
Mines and Dark Swarm.
YES.

Dustin mentioned that range 22 is not as powerful as people think.. But.. It attacks ground and air and has 9 more range than a sieged Siege Tank(13) :S - In fact almost a screens length more range than a siege tank
Pretty insane... I don't see that making it into the game

Kennigiit said 22 in several different tweets. Doesn't look like a typo.
"Despite what you think of 22 range. They've seen people losing games because they went tempest (its not as strong as you think)."

22 range tempest?
mother of god

I really hope there's at least one beta build where the 22 range Tempest is in there. That sounds hilarious:-D.
I like the idea of the Widow Mines, it's anti-clumping and rewards good micro on both sides: Good Terrans will have to use them on units that aren't about to be killed in battle anyhow, and their opponents can deny damage by killing the unit themselves or microing it out of the fight.
Also, a lot of these ideas (and the ones from the previous build we got to see) sound batshit crazy, and that makes me happy. I remember the transition into TFT in WC3, and all the changes sounded absolutely insane, which was the result of Blizzard being willing to take really radical steps to improve the game. This feels promising, I'm looking forward to seeing what actually comes out in the beta.

Glad to see they're still making big changes. Balance first!

Could use some formatting and organizing. However the 22 range seems scary! I like the look and feel of the new game and can't wait for BETA!!!!
