And abduct, don't have to say much about how this ability pretty much ruins any type of positional play. Especially when you combine it with Consume, you pretty much always have it up. | ||

When I'm playing against zerg, and the game is going along things happen, blah blah, then I see broodlords. Most of the time its "oh shit, gotta do something about that". There's just that little bit of fear, even if I'm ahead, even if I am successfully able to deal with them, its just kind of an intimidating unit. Toss is a bit different in that its the deathball itself that's scary, but still, its there. There are times where, playing against a protoss I can be on even footing or even slightly ahead, and I scan and I see that army and just kinda groan because I know its gonna be incredibly hard to deal with. Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming its impossible, its just that slight fear that I think is ultimately good for the game. What does terran have? What can I shoot for late game that's going to inspire that fear in my opponent. Call me stupid because I don't watch too much TvP, but terrans can death ball vs protoss or zerg with hellion-siegetank-thor (which will change to tank-hellion-warhound-thor). I know it's not the most common strategy (especially vs P), at least at the top level, but unless you're also top level that's probably not relevant. Note i'm not saying it's OP, but it takes specific preparation and tactics to deal with a terran death ball just like a protoss death ball.

In the game casted by Day9 and Rob Simpson you can see that a Reaper expand build can definitely be viable for early game harassment and possibly to contain creep, since they now have 60 HP and that 50/50 ability to heal out of combat. You can also bring them along with your mid-game push to kill off some more Zerglings. You could to that a billion times better with speed instead of the Heal. | ||

It's worse for all-in's and late-game harassment where you have a lot of Medivacs, but it's better for late-game play where you don't really want your Reapers to go way ahead of your Bio army. | ||

 M18M is probably very giddy about all these new Stargate units. | ||

Reaper speed upgrade no longer requires factory They might've added it again but in the build with the showmatch there was no nitro packs available in the techlab . Not sure whats accurate though. | ||

Siege tanks are by no means scary. I am not gonna call you stupid but there is no such thing as mech death ball vs protoss. | ||

Instead they fall behind the stimmed Bio ... I can manage Reapers running ahead before battles but them falling behind in battles would suck mightily. | ||

Right now Blizzard has given us 1a Battle Hellions and 1a Warhounds. Both of which look silly, and boring to play. no one is stopping you from using Tanks and Mines/ bf hellions with warhound/battle hellions.. terrans will never stop complaning I guess until blizzrd releases Starcraft 2: Broodwar which is just brood war with updated graphics. | ||

Obviously, the showmatch build is older since they definitely pre-recorded it prior to MLG. Plus, didn't Day[9] visit Blizzard HQ to do some Diablo 3 interviews and stuff some time ago? I might need to check what clothes he was wearing, since perhaps the timing of the showmatch build might be that old. | ||

I miss vultures, reaver & shuttle, muta micro, hell even marine vs lurker micro. What are the most microable units in SC2? Reaper (nerfed to the point of being irrelevent) Banshees maybe? Blink Stalkers? Both have some fun micro tricks but nothing thats really going to make a crowd ooh and ahh. I think the coolest microing in SC2 is probably marine splitting vs banelings. That's one of the very few things you can watch a pro do and really just kinda marvel at sometimes. Aside from that, what is there? | ||
