Of course it's far too early to talk about balance, but those showmatches were... embarrassing. If the game isn't ready to be played, then don't play it. Do battle reports + videos. Would have been more than enough and everyone would have been happy. | ||

Where players didn't even play their race. Yeah that makes perfect sense | ||

Yeah that makes perfect sense I'm basing nothing on nothing dude, just saying those showmatches did a terrible job hyping LotV. It was a bad idea because the games were dull, some units appeared really retarded. Not positive at all. The game wasn't ready to be played on stage. | ||

Just imagine buffing locust. Previously you had free units. Now you have free units that can fly and have insane dmg numbers when buffed by a hidden infestor! | ||

You don't realize blizzard wanted to have a somewhat powerful lurker in Hots ? That's how SH came, really. Except they failed it pretty hard. And now they're trying to bring the lurker back, I just don't understand why they're not getting rid of SH. And thank you for your concern, I know they both have a differnet role. Point is this SH unit is completely retarded, period. | ||

They never intended to give Zerg a lurker in HotS. There were just a lot of people comparing the SH to the Lurker just because both burrow and then do something attackish. | ||

Point is this SH unit is completely retarded, period. They added in an AoE area control unit. So you want them to get rid of a hit-and-run siege assault unit? The only thing here that is quote-unquote "completely retarded, period" seems to be your understanding of the game elements under discussion. | ||

No one is going to build those unless they're dirt cheap. Could just have a prism standing by to pick them up. I'd be surprised if their cost doesn't get reduced significantly before release, though I can understand them being worried about toss having a cheap, midgame AoE option. | ||

Well, they have said they have tried to add in the lurker but didnt see it work. They have wanted to adding it. And they have tested it. | ||

You pretty much need a prism floating nearby ready to pick them up or you just lost 300+ gas. I'm admittedly fine with that, just because WoL and HotS didn't have nearly enough rewards for micro. | ||
