Battle helions/ Warhounds give too much of a support for the tanks that catching them off guard isnt really ' punishing enough.' Although I was excited to see DaKim lose in a BR. (No hate to david, just noticed that it was the first time he lost... as far as I know) lol Terran must be super OP then =P | ||

Nevertheless, in the face of about a hundred different comments about how (whatever HotS unit) is dumb, overpowered, underpowered, etc, allow me to remind you... You do not know these things. You have just watched the equivalent of a pre-Beta HotS game involving Gold-level players. I cannot tell you how many comments I saw (and made) during the Alpha, Beta, and so on of SC2 about how useless/stupid/dumb/retarded every single WoL unit was...and most of them were, in retrospect, simply nonsensical. So please, keep your opinions and state them, but be very prepared to change your mind completely on everything once Beta hits, and for the love of Pete do not let these instant reactions completely determine your opinion of every unit before you've actually tried them or seen them used competently. Thank you. Things are the way they are now BECAUSE people identified problems and helped Blizzard fix them. I will say with 100% confidence that if no one was allowed to talk about the Tempest, you would see the game go on store shelves with it doing piss-poor damage and being a strict downgrade from the carrier in every respect. Because it's an extremely obvious bad design, it won't end up that way. Whether we do/don't "know" things isn't important, because they want our feedback and they're begging us for it with these idiotic displays. | ||

Everyone seems to be jumping the gun on balance atm.. we don't know how things will play out when professionals get their hands on the game Not sure why people make comments like this. This is a alpha-video, about a game in alpha-state, and we are talking in the alpha-thread. They want us to complain/comment, so they know what the mass majority doesn't like. It's very important in my opinion. As for the 'wait for pros comment' They definitely gear the game 50/50 split between the top player and the worst. I'm against it, but browder has stated this so many times dude. | ||

1. How can Day9 say shit like "the terran's macro is impeccable" and still take himself seriously. 2. The haywire missile is one of the dumbest abilities I've seen. It autocasts damage to mech units for free so you don't even have to target fire. | ||

-It's hard to be impressed with the Oracle ablities. The cloaking should remain in the Mothership; it will be silly to see a Mothership cloaked by an Oracle. -Mines that can also target air units. Seriously?? -I'm sorry, but the warhound is terribly ugly and poorly animated. -Blizzard wants to encourage Mech versus Protoss and adds an unit like the ugly Tempest with that insane range. How many counters to tanks does this game needs? | ||

Protoss should use a more zerg-esque style vs mech imo, with chargelot/stalker counterattacks, and Archon/storm/immortal tempest (just theory crafting) to deal with the mech +vikings. Of course itll all be changed long before release, but just my two cents | ||

Yup, because Tempests are a gimmiky useless unit considering their current cost, dps, build time, and speed. Oracles might actually be viable, but they are also extremely gimmiky and will likely have to be nerfed because good players using entombed will destroy anyone. Think of the timings you can hit off of two bases against Terran or Zerg if you can cut off their economy entirely every minute or so. | ||

This is because 1.5 people, Dustin Browder, and I'm sure David Kim gets half the final input, HAVE THE ENTIRE FINAL SAY OVER EVERYTHING STARCRAFT 2. I don't care if Browder made some crap CnC game 12 years ago, well it lost to a superior one in Brood War. Who thought this guy was qualified enough for 3 starcraft 2 titles? It's insane how much power he has over this franchise. I had to say it, but I honestly believe you could throw incontrol, day9, boxer, some other korean pros, into a room and they could give a way better game in a month with better units for both PROS and Newer players. I know its just Alpha, long way to go, but I think the logic of the Tempest just makes me want to go so far away from this game. | ||
