In the case of mothership core that is completely different. I like the idea of being able to transfer from nexus to nexus, why do you need that to be a moving unit? To me that's not enough reason to make that kind of change... bleh Overall I think blizz does a good job. But this particular decision should have been made during beta and not during alpha imo. | ||

I think the argument was that it didn't feel like a unit, ie. felt like a building/addon with spells. Although I agree that their decision was unecessary, and the poll I posted in the last page showed a strong negative opinion of the change. | ||

It doesn't really need to be a unit. It added exactly what the protoss needed - early game protection and the ability to move out without being all in-ish...

Actually, the Mothership originally had an ability that let it teleport anywhere in Pylon power back during the WoL beta, but the spell got removed very early on in one of the first few patches. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to make the Mothership Core move around. Actually, I would be okay if it was somehow "tethered" to a nearby Nexus, gradually becoming slower as it moves farther away from the Nexus until it can't move any further away at all. It would allow some flexibility in defending, possibly allowing the Mothership Core to move onto nearby cover to defend itself from an attack. | ||

I put no opinion because I'd rather test it out before choosing an opinion. | ||

I hope their point about the Swarm Host being unique was a joke. That's all we need, more free units spawns that screw up the opponent's unit pathing. | ||

That's all we need, more free units spawns that screw up the opponent's unit pathing. actually they did the same type of test map for the queen change the difference is that zergs didn't start winning without the patch (like terrans did this time, according to david kim), which would mean in their mode of thinking that the change was necessary | ||

The point I was making was the amount of time they're taking with these small tweaks. Rather than the short amount of time they took with the Queen change that had such a big impact on the metagame. | ||

I cry for the state of protoss in HotS. I can't see PvT or PvZ working out... | ||
