Am I the only one that thinks the widow mine and oracle are broken as shit and need to be changed/removed?

Everyone else seems to be overly focused on the 22 range slow hitting tempest, eventho the oracles just 100% shut you down and the widow mines just blow you up, and both come way early and are relatively cost effective.

Also, wtf is with all the hydra spamming? Did they drop the cost on them? or are all the zergs seriously blowing all their money on hydras in these games?

*edit*

It'd be badass btw if widow mines had FF splash dmg. You could go all sorts of jihad with zerglings then. XD

Honestly, tempest seems like a decent way to solve a lot of the problems surrounding current lategame pvz,
no more archon toilet vs mass brood

we'll have to see what happens, but I think there's a lot of potential in this current HOTS build.
Hopefully beta starts soon and the balancing can truly begin

Why do you want to play BW all over again? SH is probably the best new unit imo. Its very zergy, can be used effectively with great micro and fits very nicely with the rest of the zerg units.

what are u talking about? a unit that spits out a smaller unit every 12 seconds is very zergy? Also please stfu with your "play bw all over again" the lurker would be a faster and more fun unit.

Swarmhost would be used like another brood lord, but worse and zerg would just stick to a fucking ball insted of harassing, attacking all over the place and constant reinforce. THAT IS ZERGY.

That's like saying the Lurker should be should be harassing unit that attacks all over the place. The SH and Lurker are both slow units that need to be defended.

The Ultralisk charge look so ugly why not have it look like a normal charge but with the same effects?

I see people are talking about a Terran video ? Is that from the "Multiplayer unit update" or is there another one that I haven't seen yet ?

Lurkers actually move faster than stimmed Marines when unburrowed.

It also helps that archon toilet no longer exists vs broods. Vortex only affects ground units! I wonder if this means units will no longer have 1.5 second invincibility when leaving the vortex.

it basically means your infestors would be gone while voidrays rip through your broodlords that are to slow to get away from above the vortex. Archon toilet is gone, but broodlords are even more vortex victims now. If the 1.5 seconds would be removed archon toilet would work against ground units again, so i guess that stays.

But an evil Oracle can now hover over the vortex make everything invisible, while your arial detection units are all chased away by toss air units. Moving in the Vortex with your ground army is more suicide then ever ^.^. Really like how they try to break up the death balls.
