Surprised vs Disappointed

It really surprises me to read that about the Stalker, the stats look so low, and the cooldown isn't particularily fast. I would had assumed that they're complete crap vs anything that isn't Armored.

They're SO mobile. It makes up for any of the Stalker's perceived 'weaknesses'. And they attack fairly quickly. Especially with blink, they're incredibly difficult to stop.

The only thing they seem to be particularly bad against is Mutalisks, and even then, it's not impossible for a group of stalkers to beat a group of mutalisks. Especially with sentry support.

Blink is perfect on the Stalker. It turns a nerfed Dragoon into a real strong unit.

They're SO mobile. It makes up for any many of the Stalker's weaknesses. And the cooldown is pretty darn fast...

You took the words from my moth! This!

It's not even a nerfed dragoon. The lower damage is made up for by the fact that they're so much faster and lither. More stalkers can attack the same target A LOT quicker than the same number of dragoons could. The only real nerf is their slightly lower HP.

So you said 'any many' too? :P

[Todie]

range is nerfed too. but whatever. stalker is a good well adjusted unit, expect nothing more than small tweaks to it during beta (along with clear trends of the metagame if there are any? im just rambling? :P)

[Aldrius]

range is nerfed too.

No it isn't. They start with 6 range. That's what a dragoon has with it's upgrade. So if anything, that was buffed.

Surprised - This game really does seem well balanced from the very get-go of beta. Just from reading everything in this thread and listening to pro and amatuer players' opinions alike, there really isn't that much everybody agrees on and most units seems balanced for what they are.

Disappointed - I didn't get a beta key.
