Yes, and the marauder is the go to unit in TvP. What is your point? | ||

What they want to turn PvX? A NR10 game? I didn't really liked the feeling of the game overall... Oracle will be incredibly strong or underpowered, there'll be no middle ground just like reaper. From this battle report it just look like a "build the right robots from the right houses" 1A game. | ||

No micro involved from the other party, and no potential above force fielding the minerals. No idea who'd want to watch that as a spectator. Blizzard specifically mentioned breaking up the deathball - and when they're given a complete vacuum to work inside of (in that the game could be completely staged) they still manage to only showcase two large blobs moving around the map. No real positioning, not even any use of the widow mine past the early game. Tempest is just silly, it looks awful, does zero damage, requires T3 while leaving you without true splash. Remind me again how you're realistically supposed to get these out in the middle of a PvT. Similarly, Warhounds also look atrocious and are nothing more than an a-move unit. I think the reason I'm so unimpressed is because this was the perfect opportunity to show a change in game pace, flow, and design - perhaps even exaggerate it a bit for the audience. Instead, we got a new mechanical marauder + tanks going up against STALKER/ZEALOT. I used to be at the point where I wanted to like HOTS, but it's just so hard to be excited at all for it. It's hard to understand how Day9 and Rob can turn a blind eye to truly exciting gameplay and overhype (well, I guess that's what they do best) a mediocre-at-best "showcase" -entomb might only be deceptively strong, the workers seemed to clean them up pretty fast, Blizzard can also easily reduce the shields on the minerals if needed to so workers can kill them faster. - about breaking up deathballs, You cant come to any conclusions as yet -Tempest looks good to me, Alot of people think that just massing a few vikings should take them out easily, but they dont factor in Recall as displayed here. Harassing tempests dont have to actually engage against vikings if they dont want to . How would you get them out in the middle of a pvt you say? with the help of mothership core ofcourse, it grants unlimited chronoboost and a big range cannon. Im not saying you should be impressed, just i find your conclusions arent really well thought out. You can think whatever you want though, just my 2 cents. | ||

No FFE, Z can't take a (reasonably) safe third, rocks on watchtowers are stupid, they let you see when your opponent moves out. Seriously, choice of thirds, one expands to your opponent, other has a massive ramp. Looks like a worse version of XNC. | ||
