Indeed. Also the mothership core looks beyond OP. | ||

SC2 devs should be forced to watch every major tournament VOD b/c it doesn't seem like they're watching/watching the same game. Watch the recent David Kim interview, they watch all the major tournaments. | ||

Terran finally sieges in between 2 bases on the most random spot. Toss attack literally the second terran sieges. WTF is this rofl They are trying to show how mech is viable in hots by making best possible engagements for terran. As in.... protoss attacking with 15 zealots up the ramp where there are 15 battle helions, making mass stalker vs mass warhound and siege tanks, making 1 immortal 0 archons whole game, no colossus to kill battle helions so that zealots can roll over tanks. I like widow mines tho, warhound seems and looks awful, recall thing is op. | ||

Granted the Protoss player played awful. But if Play HOTS means make Stargate units, that is just... lol. | ||

I think a lot of interesting things can be done with mothership core, oracle, and tempest. We just haven't seen it in that game because of the low level of play. BW would look like garbage too if it were played by a couple of bad players without a developed metagame. | ||

EDIT: with less micro Bio :: marines for the zealots, marauders for the stalkers Mech:: BHellions for Zealots, Boxxys for the Stalkers Bio: requires micro because theyre squishy Mech: requires no micro because the have tons of HP Bio: fast building, small, cheap units means you need lots of production and good macro Mech: slow building, heavy in supply units mean you dont need to worry about macro | ||

He only made Stargate units to show them off. Against Terran Stargate play is really unlikely to be that prevalent. Blizzard definitely wants the Tempest to be the go-to unit against Zerg late-game though. The Mothership Core looks insane for Protoss though, it's so ridiculously versatile. | ||

Go back and watch 2000-2003 era BW. It's still fun as hell. Even if the players have bad macro and less refined builds. | ||

I think the Tempest is kind of reasonably interesting if it's done correctly, having a kind of unique role as a really long range sniper, I'm thinking of it's potential to chip away at Brood balls and stuff. Also I guess, perhaps the Beta will showcase a less ridiculous build of the game. Anyhow what I dislike. 1. Mothership core comes far, far too early for what it apparently does. Goodbye pressuring Protoss in the early game. I essentially hate anything that basically gives you a free, blind pass to transition to the mid/lategame after taking an early expansion. This seems to serve like the buffed Queen, but even more potent. 2. Oracle was a cool idea, I get what they were thinking and I like some of its utility (i.e the cloaking field thing). It's role as a harassment unit just doesn't really mesh with me though, it's the equivalent of injecting for Zergs, nothing interesting or strategically interesting 3. New Terran mech is, retarded. Protoss' old compositions of choice in dealing with mech, i.e upgraded chargelots and immortals, with archons just melts, absolutely melts. There is no positional nuance to it either, part of the beauty and challenge of well executed mech. Fucking hell. | ||
