I agree.. It looks really bad for Terran. The only thing for AA is marines, Thors, and vikings. They're pushing Terran towards Mech, but if my Warhounds don't have AA then I have to build Thors who's AA sucks. If I want a good "deathball" I have to get so many different types of units. Hellions, Warhounds, Siegetanks, Thors, and Vikings. My Siegetanks also get destroyed by Vipers, Marines are gonna be destroyed by Ultralisk Burrow Charge. Seems kind of dumb. I'd like to see how things are going to work out though, it'll be interesting.


Marines are the best G2A unit and Vikings are the best A2A unit (Corruptors need infestors)...I don't know what else you want.


Corruptors actually beat vikings, they are the best Air to air unit in the game.

This looks like Broodwar 0.8 with a graphics buff. I didn't think mass hydras would be viable once again.

I'm just having a major headache thinking what terran can do against other races late game. Sure, warhounds would be effective against the new mech tier three units (and the uberbuffed ultralisk), and with battle hellions would be able to tank for them. But then what can counter air? Vikings would be viable i guess but would be terrible against corruptors, and wouldn't have that range advantage against tempest (although I do think that 22 range is never going to make it). Seeing how everyone is saying that siege tanks would be useless, the battle hellions would have to be pretty OP to keep balance (viper/ling/bane sounds quite scary mid game as terran).

And Blizzard, please take away the base worker count and war hound autocast. Those just make the game wayyy too simple, and just reduce the skill needed to play. I hope you realize that a lot of people playing SC2 enjoy not only the epicness in gameplay but also the mechanical and strategic skill involved.


as far as i know, non of the zerg units are mechanical. so the missile launcher thing on warhounds will be completely useless against zerg.

but its not zerg that im as worried about as terran, its the oracle. terran will have to leave units behind at EVERY mineral base, and im not talking 3-4 supply, to take down those 75 health shields fast enough, probably around 3-4 marauders will be needed per base.

TT i think ima just race-switch to protoss already.


And what does a drop do? It also completely disrupts mining at that base until some army gets there, while actually killing workers. So imba.

I don't like this patch, seems terran has no good new units but Protoss and Zerg has many good units

If they replaced thor with warhound that is now without anti-air attack, how is terran mech going to do with all the air units? Build marines and vikings?

Tempest doesn't really look OP at all, tbh. I'd be interested to see some TvZ & TvP reports though.

Hopefully rocks that randomly warp to different locations

Rocks that attack back. Wouldn't want the Zerg to take his third to early now, would we?

Funny how some people think something is viable because they saw it in a match which was ment to show the new things in hots. No one knows how they play out in normal games, so please, shut up about viability.

From what I've seen in the Battle Report, Z can be way more aggressive, without being afraid of being forcefielded all the time, since Zerg gets a unit that is tanky, ranged and for free. Hydras seem much more viable in ZvP due to Abduct to take out Colossi and Locusts to tank all the damage of Stalkers and Zealots.

It reminds me much more of the BW ZvP.

Oracle still needs some rebalancing imo, Entomb is very strong, when you don't have units at every base.

It all looks interesting enough the question is will anyone actually do anything interesting with it? It's too soon to tell if the new units will merely augement how the game is played or if drastically different playstyles will emerge.

I'm really interested in seeing new maps/tilesets and what the community can do with that.

I somehow predict TvP to be heavily in favour of Terran.


Not picking on whether it's going to be which side favoured, Terran also gets cripped by entomb the most since its static defence is air-only while protoss and zerg both can cover ground. It's just going to be with 4 marines on every mining base stationed. Neither zerg nor terran gained any harass units (they gained the battle type). It's still beta and a lot can change.

I'm pretty sure Khaldor(who is at mlg) said that the Thor is still in the game in it's WoL edition. As in, you can make more than one and they can hit air.

Corruptors actually beat vikings, they are the best Air to air unit in the game.

Vikings still have the range advantage.

I don't think it would be very fair if vikings had such a huge range and still beat corruptors in a straight up fight.

Loving the new Zerg units, everything else seems a bit dull in comparison. Everything new about Protoss seems a bit dull except for the Oracle. And did I see right that the Warhounds micro themselves(automatically targeting mech-units before anything else)?

The units and abilities truly are getting ridiculous.

There's going to be so much shit going on at the same time. You're going to give the casters no time to breath. They're going to have to become Auctioneers:

Hmm or gold rocks...or rocks that you kill and turn into rock pillars... or rocks that attack you.... golem rocks? If they aren't destroyed in 5 minutes they hit an enrage timer and kill both players? Force them into early teamwork while fighting for advantages!

Actually, in the other thread, they mention that the vortex will only affect ground untils, while there will be a separate stasis spell for air units.

The vortex was always overpowered against Cruisers, Broodlords and Corrupters. Personally I think if a toss allows their opponent to reach 200/200 with battlecruisers a la MVP, they deserve to lose.

The way those rockets work is that they are essentially an extra attack that only works on mech units. So they were shooting marines while the rockets were firing at tanks.

Right now its autocast but they said they are still debating whether it should be made manual cast only.

I imagine the Oracle will force a lot more in-base macro orbitals and more planetaries at the actual mining bases

Except that protoss has the relatively weakest anti-air. Voidrays are really flimsy, corruptors > phoenix, viking micro > protoss air.
