Thread: All new HOTS units - screenshots(SPOILER)

    Guessing swarm host spawns broodlings.
    Hope not! I want something new!

    Seems like corruption moved to protoss with oracle?? And the way they emphasise anti-air for Tempest....viking/mutalisk/phoenix killer??? Are replicant units able to fight??
    Yeah, since Overseer is probably replaced with Viper, and about replication, they should, why would you make them with upgrades anyway? If you want to scout, you have Observer.

    If replicates can't fight, they are useless.

    Replicants have an absurd amount of utility.

    Terran are hard enough to attack. This is overkill.

    I support space control units, but Terran already have Siege Tanks. I support the Swarm Host however.

    I agree with this, but we will see, maybe they will be close to Spider Mines from SC1. And I can't believe that you like Swarm Host. ^^
    And Replicants indeed have disgusting amount of utility. I think that Protoss will be happy with amount of harassment that they can do in this expansion.

    I highly doubt all of these are multiplayer units.

    Tempest sounds a little too versatile, but the Oracle and Replicant sound like a lot of fun. Swarm Host sounds cool too.

    Dunno how I feel about the Viper... sounds more interesting than the Overseer, but I dunno if the Overseer's design/tech-tree placement/etc. really needed replaced.

    Interested in seeing more at least.

    I like the Tempest. Not sure about the oracle and replicant. Seems imba from the description. Like i see someone going marine-tank vs me then i just replicate more tanks than the terran has. Or if it's only your own units then it's like an ability to quickly increase army size. And if the units are fully functional then what....pay 20% more to replicate them?? Replicant seems very weird. Is it like a way to replace gateways completely...imagine late game....warp in 14 units then immediately replicate 14 more.....Protoss was weaker before but now seems ridiculously imba.

    And oracle....don't see much use in knowing what is being produced. You can typically guess based on the buildings, addons, etc. On the collection building (nexus, CC, hatch) seems like the most obvious for economy disruption but how big a hit...10% less deposited by harvesters?? 20%?? Maybe big enough that Protoss can stay even one base down???

    Guys, seems that Tempest has removed Carrier! RIP Carrier, but I think you are all happy about this!

    If the multiplayer units are only the ones with the teaser images then I guess terran gets the short end of the stick with a transforming hellion. Blizzard watches too much transformers.

    And the tempest...versatile...why that's shocking....the carrier isn't really that versatile or worth getting. Seriously replacing the carrier seems like a great idea.

    Wait a minute.....carriers and mothership taken out to make way for oracle and tempest??? KiwiKaki will be sad. Plus it means.....no mass cloak abilities for Protoss??? I guess....artiber technology was lost.....

    Wow, that thing is expensive... o.o

    I dunno. It's just... odd to me. I'm not really loving the Tempest. Doesn't seem all that strategic or interesting. Just another big gun.

    Even the Carrier required a little positioning micro. Though I'm not really a Carrier fan at all.

    If the multiplayer units are only the ones with the teaser images then I guess terran gets the short end of the stick with a transforming hellion.
    Well, the Terrans especially just sound like really bad ideas. Particularly since a complaint they rectified originally was the overuse of ground-based AoE. And... all three new units are ground-based AoE... that serve little purpose otherwise.

    Wait a minute.....carriers and mothership taken out to make way for oracle and tempest??? KiwiKaki will be sad. Plus it means.....no mass cloak abilities for Protoss??? I guess....artiber technology was lost.....
    Motherships are made at the Nexus.
