Obviously, the oracle would be cheaper in this case. I like this though a queen would pretty much make it useless pretty much. Everyone would probably have multiple queens anyway. Watching that battle report I just didnt like what it did to the econ of the zerg. Its like instantly temporarily killing all the drones. Ill have to take another look at the battle report. See what the range is on this cast or does anyone know? | ||

:D that's the impression I got watching the HotS multiplayer video. And it's a good thing, I think. I don't like Entomb though. Whatever. | ||

In the battle report the first time it's cast it covers all the minerals and is casted closer to the minerals. The second time its cast from further away it gets all the mineral patches except 1. | ||

Kinda hope they rework entomb a bit (lower energy and one patch at a time or something like that) simply because it is a bit dull imo. Overall I really like the reveal, though. Should be lots of fun once it finally makes it way to us! | ||

They're bad at stopping large groups of units, since its so easy to spot which units have timers over them. The only time I feel like they justify their cost is if they can catch out a drop or latch onto an expensive unit(e.g. viper). They're definitely not like spider mines, since if you are defending a position they add nothing to a defensive position. I might try to play around more with the new mines and see if you can do things like target your own units with the mines and run them into a mineral line. Yeah I love how the widow mine takes minerals, gas and supply. It appears that both players can see the timer, so Zerg can just run lings into mines and then kamakazi them into your base. I can't wait to play Protoss in HotS after working for 5 seasons to get rank 1 master terran.... | ||

It just seems like this 1 unit all protosses just HAVE TO HAVE now, instead of actually being able to choose wether they want to stick it in their play or not. Im glad the swarm host is still there, looks like a fun unit to play around with, but might not be as effective as I think it will be. Also : you can get the mothership core so damn early, seems kinna lame, thoughts? I don't think we are in a position to judge the swarm host. It looks very good. I mean anything that inhibits your opponent's movement and creates strong, free units seems super good. But maybe they are expensive and easily eliminated in-between cycles. | ||

Really? I thought the Zealots actually effectively destroyed the Warhounds in their own video :D. Seemed interesting to me that the unit designed to counter the other seemed to trade pretty evenly with the zealot. | ||

I can honestly say that I feel no excitement for HotS. And if I buy it, I will be playing Protoss. If Terran is >20% now, I can only imagine it's getting lower in HotS. | ||

Otherwise, they would counter every gateway unit lol. | ||

Anyways, T looks stupid and I really don't want to play that. P and Z look great, Z looks OP with that pull. It can pull tanks and colossi ? GG right there. Z has the strongest casters with infestor and this flying defiler. | ||

Why would they counter all gateway units if they countered zealots? Also, it's my understanding that they are indeed meant to provide a counter for zealots. | ||

I think it will become a strategy to actually sacrifice overlords or lings to clear out mines to protect your more expensive units. That's actually a really sick idea, I didn't even think of that. I wonder how much supply the mines take up though, I just have a feeling people will flood entire areas with them and it will get ridiculous. | ||
