It deals 200 damage, so you could just lay them around your base and if an Overlord/Overseer comes by to scout, boom dead. Really high gas cost flying units like the Viper/Oracle will just get obliterated instantly and there is nothing you can do about it. They need to either make it so there is a limit on how many you can have (highly doubtful since that would be too complicated) or have them require a Tech Lab. With them being a suicide unit, you NEED to be able to produce them quickly. Leaving them being reactor-able need to stay. | ||

I think it will become a strategy to actually sacrifice overlords or lings to clear out mines to protect your more expensive units.

They got to scout everything, kill like 8 drones, allowed the terran to go mech without any harm, managed to heal up and keep zerg on their feet. I think reapers are going to be standard if terran goes mech. | ||

What could be scripted is the two players just trying to show all the new units in action. But tha's not a bad thing. | ||

if it is so i guess hellion/marauder pushes will be unbelievable strong, since there arnt added t1 units to deal with it, its hardcounter charakter of the push is just really hard to deal with | ||
