Does the recall thing sound TOO safe? I'm all for protoss being able to move out more in the early game, but I don't understand how this mechanic factors into it, they already have warpgates and instant reinforcement via proxy pylons. I'd be glad if the recall was more of a rift that also allowed enemy units to travel with it, while the recall on the mothership would only allow your own units to recall. Gives it less of a 'pressure for free' feeling. | ||

That's not the point really, it might never explode but it's not necessarily useless. For example, it could be used to force an army split or to force the opponent to focus on it while doing other stuff (dropping etc) And also to control an area by buying more time. Could be also good to defend vs. multi pronged attack. | ||

You first make a game with the intent that all pieces should be used by the players, and then you see that pros use some pieces more than others. But the way he's doing it, from the quote he said, is backwards: he's making pieces taylored to different players. | ||

It seems like there have been a lot of "anti-muta" patch changes and a new unit designed to hard counter a Muta with that much range will pretty much make them useless. At least with a Thor if you have quick reaction time with your Muta control you can limit your damage but with 22 range you will still be a screen and a half outside of seeing the Tempest and get blasted by it. Execpt Blizzard said months ago they had removed the AOE. | ||

Terran mech looks like a combination of Red Alert units , which isn't so bad thought , because Red Alert and generals are awesome as well  .Isn't barracks reactor kinda similiar to soviet cloning vat(?). Or something like that  | ||

I'm all for protoss being able to move out more in the early game, but I don't understand how this mechanic factors into it, they already have warpgates and instant reinforcement via proxy pylons. It would need to be balanced around energy regen rate and/or cooldown. If there is only one available per game, it means that there is a definite flow to the vP matchups of when aggression can safely hit and when you should start to prepare, based on when an MR should be available. I personally really like this idea. | ||
