um ok to me it REALLY seems like a protoss thing tho. The zergs mutate, and thus create superior, and ugly-ass, new units. They do NOT make perfect copies of what they are imitating. They do it better. Refinement to exactly copy would come from a protoss illusion or a terran computer generated thing, MAYBE

This DOES seem a lot more Protossish, though I do like the concept.

I don't think it'd be used quite like they say, but it does have its applications.

but Cavez = Dustin Browder said it gets one-shot killed by most of units, so it's something even less than hallucination. Those have at least same HP of units they mirror...?

What's more it can be killed before it changes... who knows how it's range of sight will end up

I can imagine this, and it would be damn funny. See some paranoid player start killing his entire army and going insane. Tank + mnm, the tanks start firing at random marines, and it like OH NO. There is one! I know there is.. Where is it! And before he knows it, his army is dead.

Warning: This game may be the cause of extreme paranoia.


EDIT: That octopus video made me lol.

stupid idea imo... practically impossible for anyone to know which of their units are changelings and which aren't without constantly checking.

Creates an imbalance as this kind of feature is only available for one race.

Also if the overseer has no other spells but has mana, these will be very spammable


Maybe constantly clicking on their units to check for spies will give those "Gosu" players who find that they have down time due to MBS something to do with their time.....and problem solved!

Your units do not auto attack it, thats the whole point of it...

And they are really really easy to scout since you can't select them, which means that if you just drags a big box around your army every unit but the changeling will get selected which means that you intantly knows if its there or not.

The changeling would be really useful in ZvZ. Run it into the zerg base as a zergling (while they have to realize that there's a rogue zergling and a-click it) into their mineral line, then with the vision spawn nydus canals into their line.

Parasite is a much stronger ability than this, do you want zerg to have parasites on all of your units just because their plentifull overseers can just spam it all over?
