Reaper is worse than before (How is that even possible?) Carrier was better than tempest and warhound doesn't shot air. The rest seems cool.

Positive - new units seem interesting and a lot was added that may hopefully deter deathball vs deathball action. I'm all for anything that rewards multitasking and it seems like hots may be headed in that direction...though only time will tell.

I think most of the changes increase relative skillcap, which is always good.
Gonna see some nice games once players are settled.

The oracle alone is probably the thing I'm most excited for :D

While i think that the mothership core and oracle could be a nice addition to the game, i don't really like the tempest. Having scaned over the terran and zerg buffs they seem alright. From how it looks the viper pull ability seems a little strong/just stright out annoying against protoss. I can't make any conclusions though without playing the game.

really cool units and pros said hots would require more skill, but it looks like not all races profit equally and some old problems still exist

Kind of mixed feelings, they are making more stuff that will be completely versus a single race. The new "dark swam" only works on biological units. Anti-mech mech-unit? (lolwut?) And not to mention those mines man. They give terran extremely imba mines but at the same time they remove the ability for banelings to burrow!?
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

I think that the Viper will just make deathballs of marine/roach/stalker even more common, because it'll be an even bigger risk to use high cost units and trying to micro them will be a wasted effort. To me it's a bad addition.

Terran seems a bit lacking in upgrades.

And I hope that the oracle, mothership core and tempest can somehow help fixing the horrible matchup that is PvP right now.

But then again, most upgrades seem to just force deathball vs deathball even more.

i tried out the units at MLG. i like all of the changes except i think reapers are just too slow atm. the tempest is pretty interesting as well with it's 22 range, I believe some very interesting strategies can be made on that.

Lol, I know its gonna be real hard to remove the unit with the mine on it. The ability has a 10 sec timer until it blows up, if you cant get a unit away from your army in 10 secs, you are just bad at the game. Besides, why even bitch about the viper? It can regen energy from an extractor or hatchery, and the pull unit is extremely anti mech. Pull the siege tanks/colossus... Profit.

i like the new units, but the whole imba and op shit in the chats is extremely annoying... the games not even in beta and everybody just complains
give HotS a few months after the release and it will balance --> like BW and sc2 did too

David Kim won while playing most of the game with mass Hydralisks. Against Terran. I'm pretty happy about that.
Done with Team Liquid for a while. Don't expect to find me here.

I didn't see any notes with regards to the removal of banelings burrowing.

The Warhound looks like an SCV in the NBA. This is enough to make me purchase CE of HotS!!

Everything so far looks interesting and once adjusted should make for some great games to view.
