unanimous except for the people who have problems with them. Like the russian player whose opinion is the source of this thread.

I'm not sure where you got that he had a problem with Overseers, Marauders, Colossi, or High Templar. Or even Mutas, really. All he says is that they're the same as always -- that's not NECESSARILY a bad thing.

Remember: you're talking to Archer.

The master of misinformation and misinterpretation.

He doesnt have a problem with all of them. The point was that just about everything in SC2 has someone who doesnt like it. I used the russian player as an example of someone who has a problem with some of the units mentioned. But on the subject of the russian players opinion on the overseer perhaps you can clarify your translation.

If you click on an enemy unit, such as a Marine or Zealot, it turns into one, and can quickly file in the enemy's ranks to observe and report. I'll warn you now: this will be entertaining... but highly impractical. Blizzard keeps trying to throw in these inventive methods of surveilance into their games, and they keep failing. It's true that the unit is relatively free of charge, so it might have been handy to leave one around in key areas of the map... if Overlords weren't already so much better at standing around and doing nothing.

That doesnt sound that positive of a review.

I've never liked the Changeling. SC1 parasite was 100x better. All they need to do is give it a timed life (2 mins?) since Medic Restore is no longer in the game.

lol see what i mean

There is nothing wrong with the Overseer. The Changeling is the problem.

L2R.

your nit picking. For instance many people dont like the infestors infested marines but we can refer to it as the infestor that should be changed.

Oh, well that's all he had. Unfortunately the guy seems to have a bit of ADD so he just jumped from one unit to the next, and back and forth, which... I'm sure you all noticed. Made translating a bit of a pain 'cause I just felt like rewriting the whole thing from scratch and dividing it up PROPERLY. :p

There's no more insights offered on the Overseer than that the Changeling is "fun but useless." What he thought of the Overseer's other abilities (if any are still in the game?) is anyone's guess.

I wonder if Acid Spores is still on Overseer... I want Spore Cloud back D:!!

Do the Overseers possess extended sight when afloat for a while?
