Thing is, abducts are single target and very expensive so picking where to use it and on what is actually a very complex decision.


Actually not really. You use it on the Colossi whenever your Vipers are over your army. It can have some cool utilizations but in a situation like that it's as one dimensional as it gets.

No overseer really shows the lack of HotS experience from Stephano.

Abducting the high templars was neat, just as good as good snipes or feedbacks.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

I would say it puts more emphasis on positioning, keeping your valuable units covered so they don't get abducted.

Exactly. Very good answer. Just look at this game, how interesting it so.

Could make for some fun micro with protoss using a speed warp prism to keep the colossus from being abducted? :p

Apollo analyzing games as the "game expert"? Doesn't sound quite right to me o.O


Apollo, y'know that guy that knows insane amounts about the game, is masters random and is one of the most seasoned casters in SC2?

I agree, that doesn't sound right at all.
