David Kim Explains the New Units (Video)

[RamiZ]

Guys, did you try HOTS Custom 2 from Xenox? He did great job on it, almost everything is identical from MLG build, and it is on the new map that we saw two battle reports being played at MLG(and the map is almost the same, he even did collapsible rocks).

I played only Zerg a bit, but players that tried it out against other players said that Warhounds are one of the strongest units for their cost.

Edit: Just tried Terran Mech vs. AI to see how strong it is, and I must say that I am extremely pleased. Yes, I know it was AI, but Protoss was making mass Zealots with few Stalkers and tons of Immortals(like 8 or something), and Warhounds ate those Immortals for breakfast. They are so strong, have great dps and those missiles really helps. I am looking forward to Terran mech being playable again.

I am so excited! ^^

Hey, I'm just saying. I made an awesome post, then it got deleted. It's a conspiracy man.

Hey as long as there is less pony posts in this forum i'm happy. Good ridence. Wish all posts with ponys would "suffer collateral damage during the latest bot raid."

^ Hey I saved the thread and turned it on topic. I just don't understand why the topic wasn't closed during the "raid" or whatever to call it instead of after.

Yay, Immortals will be useless. Now toss has nothing to stop the future tank, thor/marine, and warhound pushes. Awesome, toss gets hit the stomach again. First no harass unit other than dt, and now all the new units are air. I may end up leaving toss for terran.

Like a true gold league player! No, but seriously? You don't know anything about the HOTS. It is not even in Beta stage yet, and Beta will balance the things out a lot if there will be any major imbalance. Also, cost per cost, Immortals still eat everything that is armored, including Warhounds, even so, 12 Immortals wins vs. 16 Warhounds(tried it in unit tester), so it is not like that they are that strong on their own, but with proper support, they really do great damage.

And I don't think that Protoss got hit "again", I don't even know what that again means, because Protoss seems really really strong lately. Also, Protoss got a lot of tricks as well, Oracle is great, HTs can now start with full energy thanks to Mothership core. You will see a ton of new cloak timing attacks with Oracle. As far as I heard, energize can also be used on Nexus, so you basically have infinite Chronoboost etc.

And yes, if by no harass units you mean that Void Rays, Phoenixes and Warp Prism can't be used for harassment, then yes, Protoss really suck at harassing.

Zerg also suck at harassing, it only has Mutas. I will exclude everything that can be used for harassing in the Zerg arsenal as well, because why the hell would we consider Nydus, Drops, Baneling Drops, Infestors with ITs and Ling run-by's as harassment?
