The problem with widow mines is that they are too cheap/easy to reproduce. Thats basically it. If you make them more gas intensive, you make mech even worse. 100/25 maybe. | ||

While making a unit faster is a buff, it seems they tend to use this buff too much. The oracle sucks, speed buff. The warp prism sucks, speed buff. Overseer sucks speed buff! well, I agree that sc2 is a fast-phased game (which makes many frustrated that losing one major battle=lose) but overseer buff is necessary to take out %#@! WM field. (I can't help my self raging at that stupid unit  )Otherwise, there is really no solution to mass mine +MMM | ||

(seriously, I think we need this kind of 'positional' units in zerg. it will have a lot lower range than seize thank. like 6 but upgraded to 9~10) | ||

In regards to WM, I'm a big fan of bringing the range down to 4 and make it cost $$/gas to get a range of 5. 2nd, in regards to WMs, make the damage they deal Race Specific. Vs Zerg, something like 80 damage vs armored units and 40 damage vs biological units (50% damage vs small units). That way a single WM hit would more or less bring every Zerg unit hit to around 50% Health - which IMO is still pretty damn good from a single mine. As far as Vipers go, make it like Infestors but maybe with a slightly shorter upgrade time. I like the idea of a 60 seconds upgrade that adds 25 Energy new Vipers. Abduct from the go and a little micro and consume needed for BCloud. | ||

Overseer: Yay. Small change that can help ZvT mainly in the later stages. It really is quite annoying when the overseers always lag behind. Doesn't really get to the heart of the matter though Mech: ???. Not sure on this one. I remember those 3/3 vikings in conjunction with the ground force being a pain in the ass during the beta for ZvT. Helps TvP lategame though (I'm so sick of the scv pulls, this is like the worst matchup now). Vipers: Nay. This might be to help counter the planned mech upgrade buff, but outside of that I don't really like it. Bio/mine still makes it hard to get to hive comfortably and this could hurt the later stages of PvZ. | ||

The fact people never have a reason to leave their corner of the map due to every map having an easy fourth base is the damn issue. | ||

Don't get me wrong, I Would Love It - but it's a horrible idea. I'm surprised they'd even post a "potential change" even supporting the idea. In regards to WM, I'm a big fan of bringing the range down to 4 and make it cost $$/gas to get a range of 5. 2nd, in regards to WMs, make the damage they deal Race Specific.

Abduct from the go and a little micro and consume needed for BCloud. So you mean you want WM to deal: 40vs bio +40 vs armored +35 shield? That's quite weird... having so many varience... How about making them non-spell? so the splash dmg will be similar to siege tank (does less dmg in the outer radius) and viper can blind cloud them! :D Edit: only making them non-spell, I will accept it | ||

Was it early on in HoTS/HoTS Beta? I think the game has advanced quite a bit since then. Abduct is a good spell but blinding cloud feels pretty limited right now (relative to the viper investment). If they buffed blinding cloud's radius/diameter I think it could make ZvT and ZvP much more interesting. Could even warrant more viper play in late game ZvZ. | ||
