And i disagree with that Thors fucking suck if they don't get a change and Mines would be totally unreliable to consistently deal damage. The biggest problem is Mech cannot take more than 3 Bases safely and subsequently doesn't have enough Gas to finance an army strong enough while also keeping up with Upgrades on everything. i don't see how this changes. | ||

1) If a unit burrows after being timed with the mine, is aoe eliminated? 2) If a unit hits a mine and then is loaded into an overlord, will the overlord explode as well? 3) If you neural parasite a unit can you walk it into a mine? 4) Can changelings trigger mines and then be walked into opponent's army? 5) What happens if a unit is killed before the timer of the mine goes off? And the most important question not related to the widow mine: Can new units in HoTs dance? | ||

I mean, marines will still be good at drops and its not like drone/probes are getting buffed. Stim and combat shields are that that pricey. We may not see the marine blobs we see in the current game, but I am sure marines will have their place. | ||

On top of that our tanks will be getting abducted while that is happening. Bio will only be viable early game. Haha yeah it seems pretty hard to believe that Terran will be able to contend with Zerg. The Binding cloud + Fungal combination seems brutal. And let's not forget the ultralisk charge! | ||

I'm willing to wait and see but what they showed here is nothing to be excited about . Its looks like a turd and you guys are trying to polish it for Terran players but it still looks like a polished turd. | ||

We may not see the marine blobs we see in the current game, but I am sure marines will have their place. Drops even now are not very good. Protoss have learned to keep a few HT scattered at bases and cannons. If drops are not very good now, I doubt they are magically going to become more viable after this. | ||

I think it's to prevent blobs of roaches just to clear out minefields then suicide into the terran army. Or blobs of overlords picking up the mines and decimating all medivacs/vikings. Or when mutas magic box a mech army and get a few mines attached to them, they won't decimate the vikings while cleaning up the thors. I think it's fair, the mine would be too big of a risk if it caused friendly fire. I think friendly fire would only work if the mine exploded immediately upon contact. | ||
