This question doesn't deserve a thread so here it is:
Should ladder games have an option for rematch? Further explanation after one player forfeits their game, should those two players have an option to engage in a Bo3 or Bo5 depending on what the players decide on? And it would still count as ladder points. This would be a way to continue practicing a match up or to settle a grudge match between your opponent.
Pretty cool suggestion - I'd recommend posting that on the Blizz forums!

Does the tempest still have the range upgrade or is it just 15 now?

This would make the game so much more enjoyable because playing mannered people seems to be a rarity and i would like to rematch them instead of getting a chessy bmer next

Can you recall by clicking the nexus on the minimap? or do you have to have your camera on it? I would try it, but I'm at work at the moment

The worker count above the nexus isn't a calculated thing. It is simply X/24, whether you're in the ideal spot or not. If not, it would also shrink when you depleted some patches. But it doesn't.
EDIT: I just checked out exactly how this works in the beta, and the worker count just goes away entirely when your nexus/hatch/CC isn't within mining range, even if you start to return minerals there. But like I said, if it is a mining position, it says X/24 no matter how many patches are extant at that base.

Yes you can. If you have the mouse accuracy this is definitely the fastest way.

Yep. I'm pretty sure that's been a thing since WoL right? (HuK just had that done to him like five times in one game in the MLG MvP Tourney just recently I believe)

I thought it does? I could swear I saw the worker count shrink when patches were depleted on streams. But then again, I might be wrong.

It does decrease per patch, but I am not sure it goes above x/24

Also, thanks to Kommatiazo <3

You sir are correct, I was wrong about that X/. One of those cases where I thought it always stayed at /24, so my brain just edited that out of my vision or something whenever I looked at it, but I just now watched a replay and watched it tick down to /21 after the first patch ran out. So, that's settled!

If you neural parasite a probe and build a mothership core, is it possible to recall to a hatchery, or is it limited to nexus only?
Just tested this to be sure, even though I'm pretty sure the tooltip for the the MSC recall says "targeted Nexus", and indeed, when you try to click a hatch on the minimap or otherwise, it says "Must target Nexus". But it does work on zerg units when you do click a nexus that you built, which is cool; I used it to spam infested Terrans in the AI's base then recall my infestors away. Which is cool. Also, something I never noticed is that pylons/nexuses increase your food cap. So you could neural a probe and spam pylons so you don't need overlords for supply. Well, I thought that was neat

How can it be a thing since WoL? o.O
"Abduct" is this pull ability from the viper. No viper in WoL.
But if that works, then nice

Does the dmg Widow Mines do ignore armor? F.e. do they one-shot Stalkers, or leave them at 1 HP? Or do only shields count since the Hit is so massive and the engine forgets to factor in armor, so any difference with +1 shield Stalkers?

Widow mine damage isn't mitigated by armor because its "attack" is actually an ability like Psi storm, Fungal, or Yamato.

I don't have beta access yet, so I have the following question:
With the new MSC design and its purify ability, have 1 base timings in PvP (e.g. zealot archon) gotten significantly worse? (Please say yes, please say yes... :D)

Whats the counter to ultralisk burrow? I find if I invest in to many tanks my army will auto lose to this. playing with bio+tanks I usually spread my tanks also in groups of 2-3 at a few different spots

Does HotS have new gameplay music?

where can i find some good beta replays?

yes and no. Defense is significantly better since purify has awesome range and can really help against that kind of thing. They other thing is that your opponent can now recall to save a good chunk of his army from being wiped out. So the all ins are still there but you will definitely be at an advantage at the same time all ins can be salvaged so you wont be as far behind with the recall abiity

Not sure if it's been asked: But for protoss, when do you guys think you should invest in the msc in all the matchups?

With detection you can atack ultralisk while they're burrow-charging
