This is actually a joke right? They're going to announce the actual non awful expansion after this right? Or that they acquired the command and conquer brand this this is the new version of that? This is terrible.

No it is not. It is finally good.

Overall looks really cool, love how its a standalone, probably gonna buff gateway ground units, 8 second warpins with 200% dmg seems kind of ridiculous, like imagine a zergling runby, warping in a zealot and having it die in half a second lol.

Not too worried. Not only can they only hit ground, but they have to drop to the ground to attack.

Marine/ Thor fodder.

When they attack a bio army directly. But what about flying to an expo? Flying and landing directly on tanks with mech...I don't know man, i don't trust free units.

Ha ha yeah... I guess a lot of tweaking is still needed.

I think most of the new units look pretty cool. Will have to wait to try it out but it looks better than I thought HotS was going to be. I don't like the changes to workers but other than that, most of it looks pretty good.

Surprisingly massive changes. Most look fairly good, though, or at least interesting.

I am interrested to see how the eco changes will work out, I still think BW had the best mining system.

To not remove collosi is just...

...other than that I am very happy with the direction of the changes, I don't really like how Zerg plays anymore and judging from the videos I probably go with Protoss.

HYPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
AS
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

so much movement into unstable play. I love it (no sarcasm). Let everything be unbalanced and have the players figure out how to work around it rather than nerfing everything to equality on paper. Guess I'll be getting back into sc2 again. fuck yea.

EDIT: have to say that it's a shame that so many people want sc2 to live on but don't want change. All they want is a reaver and they think that will be enough to make the game exciting again. Be thankful that blizzard still supports the game and hasn't dropped it, let alone bringing out a ton more content for it.

Why dont they just go all the way and switch the banshee for the bw wraith. It was so much cooler and you could micro it. (Just look at leta lol)

Its actually a step down from the game and expansion that ruined the brand, on the bright side the pro scene wont last long enough to really drag the brand through the mud a bit more.

So now you have units already in position like Terran and Zerg. You know, think ahead.

No they decided to lower minerals in main base and give you more workers at start so you can expand faster

I think how a person initially reacts to these features says a lot about their personality.

I like new shit, if that shit is awesome perhaps broken shit, well even better.

Since it is drawing ideas from Starbow which is superior to HotS it is really not a step down.

It's not just that, warp ins at the last second (and not only in walls) was quite awesome sometimes and 200% damage taken could take out a lot of the efficiency. Anyway I'm a horrible player so in the end I'll just get what pros think is suitable and I'll deal with it.

I died while reading that. How will Protoss/Terran deal with Zerg's air arsenal with free flying units now?

Widow mines
Thors
Marines
Phoenixes
Oracles
Protoss new bombs against locusts (new AOE)
