You have some good points from time to time, but man.. Come on! Stop being so negative all the time. This is just an alpha fan mode and people are fucking around.

Which is exactly my point, "bad design" is a meme without any real meanign at this point, which is why i asked for the reasoning I disagree. It is bad design. Its fast, hits hard, long range, decent hp and has a ability that hits air. The unit itself has no flaws. The only drawbacks is its relatively expensive cost and fleet becon requirement. Both of which are not substantial enough to prevent massing them.

Well, it was the Blizzcon version too and some things are worrisome (stupid eco growth, obviously problematic abilities...) and should be mentioned.

"standard"?

Really not sure about cloak built in. Looks like one of those "let's see how broken we can make something" moves.

Which is exactly my point, "bad design" is a meme without any real meanign at this point, which is why i asked for the reasoning being "too easy to play and too hard to counter" is a balance thing? The dmg of 500 is balance, yes The balance of the damage is designed to take out nearly anything, which is why it needs 500 by design. fair enough, how is the dps rate? that could also change (for easier heal/repair). I just don't agree that this spell is nearly as bad as you guys say it is, even though no energy requirement is funny indeed. Meh, was not a fan of irradiate. And that one seems even worse because it isn't balanced around splash and diminishing damage by pulling the unit out of your other stuff. To be honest, the first playstyle that comes to mind with that thing is that you turtle and mine out the map while killing your opponent for free over time. Especially because the Tempest is the ideal turtle unit with its range and now with its speed is incredible good at not being punishable when casting the spell.
Hehe yeah that was kinda the exciting part of irradiate, wasn't it. I agree that this dot doesn't have this kind of counterplay potential, healing/repairing isn't really "exciting". Well turtling itself will get a lot harder, so i am not sure if it is doable that way, we will see though

Games are quit poor but actually, I'm quite enjoying this. We should have a tournament like this every time blizz pushes out changes for LotV just to see what games will look like between pro gamers

Clearly the people who are playing now are not taking it all that seriously.

Yeah they're just messing around and building the new units.

Are the mod's stats carried over from the initial Blizzcon release, or are they balanced more?
|
The mod was patched, so it should be more balanced -which isn't saying a lot mind you.

They are updated based on David Kim's last LotV report

My personal favorite is Heroes of the Stale.

I thought for one minute on a heroes name but it's too hard. + Show Spoiler +Zeroes of the Swamp is the best I could do.

I wonder where Mutalisks fit in LotV? Only as a complete tech switch?

Never pretended this was a definitive version so I don't see your point "standard"? 3 HERCs can destroy a Bunker in a matter of seconds (without a Bunker, SCVs/Marines are inefficient against such a strong body), and they can grapple the SCVs repairing to enter the base and wreak havoc from there, so yeah, in the current state of things the HERC seems very dangerous in early game TvT and I can see it bulldoze most builds on 2p maps. And if there is no "counter" among the new builds it might end up being standard indeed, which hopefully doesn't happen
