Oh my, HotS looks awful. Even WoL looks better for us spectators than what I have seen so far. Not a single P or T unit looks promising from a esport perspective. Only Z looks OK, and Z is still the best designed race in WoL.

"Z is the best designed race in WoL," just invalidated everything else you said. Terran has more flexibility, microable units, and the mirror matchup isn't completely retarded roach/infestor wars.

I just dont really like that for toss its more air focussed. i am random with toss being my most practiced race. I hardly ever built any air because i dont like it. always been more of a templar guy (not even collossus)

i dunno, ill wait and see how it turns out. since im random i get to play with all the new toys, but i have a feeling toss will be a lot less fulfilling to me in Hots

While there might be a focus, I highly doubt that they will only give Protoss new air units. While each race will be given their own set of unique toys, I can't imagine there wouldn't be some consistency in terms of what they each get. (for instance in BW, they all got air-to-air units). So I think that we're only seeing a subset of ideas, atm.

Zerg is completely reliant on the infestor and it is only useful every 75 seconds. So when you lose that, what now? Other than that, zerg seems pretty okay as far as design. As a side note, your point about zvz makes your argument invalidated. You're just so wrong : ) Terran flexibility, lololol. Flexible OPENINGS yes, after that not so much. But this isn't the balance thread is it?

In this situation however it makes sense. Mech HAS to be in a deathball otherwise it just gets run over by everything.

In broodwar tanks were actually good enough that they could be used for space control.

Well yeah, but in TvP you still had to have a pretty big ball of them or you'd just lose your army. Mines helped defend your flanks and vultures tanked.
