I find it funny that the art assets for the Widow Mine are pretty much placeholder galore.

The build icon in the Factory is a Point Defense Drone.

The build icon in the observer's unit production bar is a Shredder.

The wireframe is a Shredder.

But the actual unit uses the Spider Mine model from the WoL campaign.

Impressions:

Warhound is stupidly good. Tempest is still boring. Some stupid new type of rocks that prevents accessing Xel'Naga Tower which isn't good for a game like StarCraft despite being a smart thing to do as a player. Also, the protoss player didn't use any AoE. I was hoping for some storm. T.T

Battle Hellions almost look like zerg units and Warhounds are incredibly ugly and from watching this BR seem extremely strong.

Not bothering to buy this game.

Going to wait 6months after release to see if the pros can salvage some decent gameplay out of this festering mess.

Tempest Poll

Not every unit has to be useful in every matchup. The Tempest is probably going to be as rarely used as Carriers are against Terran...

The tempest probably sucks (for its cost) and will make pvz a lot harder, if it's to replace the mothership in being the answer to broodlords. It will be interesting to see how the oracle affects pvp. Even if all the units are rubbish, the only thing I really care about is the purifier being able to stop 20 apm Terrans that are playing blindfolded from getting free wins with 1/1/1. If that's the case, I'm sold. Big fan.

In LotV, destructible rocks and collapsible rocks will be able to merge into a Rock Archon. It will have eight million hp and Dustin Browder's beard.

can people calm the fuck down and wait for beta to launch? 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

It's not a balance issue, at all. It's the direction they're patently trying to take this game in a design sense.

More risk-free no-rush expansion plays? -Check
More a-movable armies - Check


um.. what exactly are you arguing with this? We've wanted safe expansion play -> large macro game...

The ability to safe expand, if you are diligent in scouting, make good reads and position your units well. Not 'oh I goofed you're trying to bunker rush me, lucky I have a 60 damage a shot cannon that I can build before my cyber eh?'. Jesus fucking H Christ

Granted you were probably being sarcastic


No i see what you mean. I read that line without the context of mass recall and purify.

Well I have to say I didn't enjoy this BR, but that will change, i'm sure they'll balance it out. What I'm most disappointed with is boxbot.

I'm thinking back to wings of liberty alpha when David Kim tried to show that colossus/ warp prism/ phoenix was viable. I hope Blizzard can get mech right.


It would be viable if it weren't for the fact that the same unit counter all three of those units. And the fact that Collosi doesn't have enough burst damage like the Reaver. But, of course Blizzard wanted to make the Collosi an easy unit to use and counter. Terrible damage and less overkill for everybody!!!

1/1/1 is scoutable, you shouldn't be able to DEFEND it blindfolded?

so protoss don't have to demonstrate any map awareness with their harrass because of recall?

theres no element of calculated risk that separates pros from scrubs that just run around with no vision or no understanding of enemy unit movements

Tempest will be useful against mech, especially if you consider that phoenix will probably be used too, since they can outposition vikings.

No marines: phoenix. Unfortunately, with mech, T doesn't have fungals and IT to clear out pheonix.
