I think the changes to SC2 for the new expansion are kinda dumb

i don't like the tempest ground only thing, but the ability is cool. it's the only good way besides mass stalkers to counter protoss heavy air as another protoss. then again i recently discovered that the voidray has an active so maybe thats why i had so much trouble.


the carriers being able to swarm host is great because carriers are almost useless these days imo. they are so weak for so much investment.

There is no way the battlecruiser is going to keep that ability and the first Protoss unit this shows looks too good.

this match is not fun to watch because the new zerg artillery unit is an insanely overpowered do-it-all unit that no army stands any chance against

they will probably make it so that they have to deploy like siege tanks to fire those volleys or something by the final game because as it stands they're loving absurd

roaches were already my fav. unit, i don't know how they're gonna make a tradeoff for that

removing their melee spitting would be pretty ok but it might not be nearly enough compared to that mortar

lifting off deployed siege tanks is cool

they added an invincible reusable splash mine that can be airdropped in and the ability to use a single immortal to tank a base's defenses

they removed the immortals passive, added an active, stated in a perfect fight that you can do fine juggling actives while showing a static no poo poo is moving fight, then showed them take on siege tanks and stated that normally the immortals would of just been a hard counter now you can use their active and also lose some at the same time

someone favors protoss

also all this stuff is not even in an alpha state so whining about balance this early when some of these units may not even make it into the game is about as Games as it gets

ever since i played dawn of war and saw how much the devs jacked it over the space elves i haven't been worried about favoritism in game balance

also it's fun to think of the ramifications of things and how they're gonna account for them.

Yeah there were a lot of things proposed for HotS that were altered drastically or straight up dropped. I'd say maybe 50% of the stuff previewed makes it into LotV. Those multiplayer change youtubes are basically a series of hype videos.

I know. I am really bad about spending my money once I get combating.

Part of it was because I had that gold base the entire game.

I keep winning matches by rushing blink stalkers and a warp prism, then just warping in like 8 stalkers into their main and wiping all their tech.
