Im pissed off my battle.net and email account got hacked so I can't play sc2 if any one can help it would be nice ps blizzard has shitty ass costumer service
@JERSTOKES Explain why? Your race is getting the best set of upgrades. Z got the siege breaking ability they needed. In WoL, Z can only break sieges by using mobility. P gains the anti-Muta they needed, and cheaper cannons for early D. Let's not forget that Mass Teleport is back. T gets Firebats and...... More static defense. That's bad if your units are there. T's best change is Thor into Warhound, and that's not applicable against Z. Why do you complain when your race gets the biggest buff?
It just seems like Z will be OP cus P's and T's cant just easily camp up mid game while the Z's ahead and catch up.
Its too easy for P's and T's to do this, especialy P's, and ur expected to remax mid battle to even have a chance against P, and by that point they can vortex and just AOE all ur sht. The whole point of everything Z is getting is so T's and P's cant easily camp up and catch up on tech and supply while the Z has already fully teched up, maxed out and been ahead the whole game.
As all you need is some detection in your army. Consider it the same to losing your whole army to dt's when you could easily have built just one observer. The protoss get some new harrassing units, and the tempest should be able to deal with mass mutalisk (hopefully). The replicant can lead to some interesting multi-race armies (copy a worker, build a base, and then tech up). It raises the question of what would a multi-race, high tier army look like. I'm excited to find out.
My personal thoughts on The Heart of the Swarm changes: the developers at Blizzard probably feel that the terran bio is overused, so they are upgrading mech to make more viable. The Zerg gets the ability to take and contest map control from their opponents, and the viper really helps to kill either the protoss deathball or the terran seige line. In addition, units like the much underused ultralisk will get a buff to make them better, same with the hydras. I don't think banelings will be that op,
@KLAssurbanipal this video is slightly outdated, Blizzard said that they are trying to keep the carrier in the game and are working to find a niche for it.
The singleplayer will probably be fun as hell but the multiplayer will be... completely FUBAR.. adding new units is all good but REMOVING units seems pretty shitty.
Looks stupid the replicant will never be used. David Kim is just mad at getting email saying he is a nub, and he doesn't want to hear complaints about imbalance.
lol protoss got more shields and AoE, terran got more turtle abilitys and a "Uber Unit". Zerg got stuff to MAYBE break your turtle strats. And you think Zerg is gonna be OP? >_>
I enjoy seeing this stuff. But the zerg and terran are getting unbeliable I am raging at seeing. But I really like how they are doing protoss excpet for removing the overseer and giving it to protoss. But I will be hating the viper and uber Thor so much...
I think you people need to brush up on SC history...
After 5 years of warfare in the Brood War, Protoss and Terran forces has been throughly destroyed; a mere shadow of their former selves, while zerg can reproduce at astonishing rates, their numbers hardly dwindle, as said in Wings of Liberty, The Zerg have become the dominant race in the Koprulu Sector.
After The Invasion of Char and The Use Of The Artifact, The Zerg Are divided, their numbers have been greatly reduced by the artifact, and many of their hives there are destroyed. The Zerg are totally scatered.
I don't know why everyone's saying the Zerg is suddenly OP. Everybody's bugging out about Baneling burrow as if it's going to be made an inheritant ability (I guarantee it'll be an upgrade). And look at the stuff Terran and Protoss got. The Oracle can basically paralyze an entire base. The Tempest is a cost efficient counter to Mutalisk swarms. The shredder will stop zergling run bys. And the Greyhound, like the tempest, is finally an efficient defense against mutalisks.
@WildBassfly You'd think with everybody out there saying "Terran is OP!" or "Protoss is OP!" or "Zerg is OP!" that they'd all be theoretically balanced. I mean, if all three are OP, doesn't that cancel the OP-ness out?
I like the Terran changes and the Protoss changes. I think taking the Carriers and Mothership out was a good call. (Though I'm not the best one to judge that as I've always found carriers too expensive for their own good since SC1 and I think that the Mothership as a bad replacement for the arbiter.) The new Zerg units look good too... but... BANELINGS THAT MOVE WHIL BURROWED!? My friends banelings do a lot of damage as it is; making them into exploding roaches is going to overpower them.
The replicatant strong ??? U pay a stupid amount of resources and it costs 4 in the population cap, which will be transformed into a siege tank, who will be of little use, because of NO WEAPON or ARMOR UPGRADE, which will result in a quick lose of resources, WHY SHOULD I invest in this thing :/. Tempest huh :/ rly, strong anti air, rly? position 2 or 3 vikings spread and u have a dead tempest, with that attack speed, no comment.
@Piecakesman they will have all the abilities such as siege or cloak not the weapon or armor upgrades, the only use would be casters... but still its just one or two who can get eaten away easy, an infestor, it is sure useful, but again its only one or two, with a lot of mins invested, rly? is it cost efficient, on the other had the mins can be spent in other better way. But we will see the winning rate of toss after this patch.
@MrGoghi307 Regardless, blizzard probably has some sort of purpose in mind for this unit that would make it useful/cost efficient in some way...I hope. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
@MrGoghi307 what if u replicate an infestor? fungal...
if ur in a 2v2 or more, replicare an infestor and a ghost if u go against a zerg/terr.... EMP+snipe on units with energy and bio units, fungal to hold em in place...
think out of the box u.u
im a terr player and i am not looking forward to that
@koletro thanks God we all posses Godly Micro... wait a minute we dont... and still is it rly cost efficient. Then again an infestor is not that hard to take out... a little focus and they are all gone, while controlling sentryes, high temp, and a bunch of other units while having one more infestor to micro... that will be fun to watch.
In Warcraft 3 you could theoretically possess an enemies worker unit but nobody ever did it because it took too damn long to tech to a point where the units are actually useful. Not sure if it will be the same in Sc2 though.
All the new units look great. I'm a zerg player and I'm glad to see that we've gotten a load of siege breaking units/upgrades, especially Baneling tunneling claws.
yes, Yes, and YES!! We need more Transformers! Moar I say! Where's Bumblebee? Voltron?! Pls Blizz, bring back tonka tanks from the beta too! And instead of super Thor, lets have all the buildings assemble and form up The MEGA ZORD!! I just can't wait!
And, finally, that unsettling, inappropriate horror sci-fi atmosphere is replaced by something the key demographics can relate to - big men riding in BIG SHINY ROBOTS!
Blizzard shouldn't change anything at all in the competitive multi-player scene of starcraft 2 with Heart of the Swarm. Updates I agree with, but with such a huge and great community for an amazing competitive game I believe in keeping with what is sooooo polished and beautiful and keep refining it until further perfection is reached and ultimate balance is a achieved.
@UnityAmongstChaos I couldn't agree more, but for the mainstream casual players like myself who would return to the game to explore new content it is absolutely necessary! I really hope these new features won't tip the balance. It's hard to imagine how adding more content to an already perfect game can make it better, but I remain optimistic.
lol ppl are whining already? you havent even played it, how can you know you wont like it? Im sad about the Carriers too, but oh well. Although im not too happy about losing the Mothership, i loved it so much! The only new ability im iffy about is the Baneling moving while burrowed, with roaches its not that bad if u have a wall, but Banelings can destroy walls very easy and your only hope is to kill them before they get to your wall. Damn reapers lol shoulda removed them! i hate them so much...
Remove the carrier? Another classic unit goes down and its being replaced by some crap unit... Please, just add some kind of "Brood War 2" mode, where we can play with the classic units with new graphics...
@TheManBeastify Yes, I'm saying that the carrier was an AWESOME unit, even if it was expensive and viable only in a few situations... The mothership was a bad unit! I said that in the forum even before sc2 release (and, of course, I got flammed by a bunch of fanboys)... We already lost the Reaver (BEST UNIT EVA!), the Arbiter (they gave us that danm Mothership) and the Corsair, now the Carriers r gone too... "Carrier has not arrived"
The first 10 comments on this page are people whining about terran being sooo OP. I don't even play terran. And no, I'm not in "wood" league I'm actually very close to being placed into Master's league. Quit your b*tching. If you're zerg learn how to micro your banelings and infestors. If you're toss then learn how to use Psi storm..
Terran are getting the most OP units, I'm not sure if you noticed, but a swarm of about 25 zerglings WITH the speed upgrade got devoured by that stupid shredder.
if they gunna do that to ghost cloak then they are usless to call down nuke cuz the cloak will wear off then they easly get killed nd stop the nuke smh....
So, Protoss gets some expensive-ass units that you can't produce in any reasonable way before you've got at least 3 bases fully secured; Zerg gets some move-underground controls, and a new caster just waiting to be EMPd, and Terran gets new all-around assault machines that turn into monstrosities to kite everything there is on the battlefield.
We Zerg and Protoss players are really gonna start hating life when HoTS comes out. Fuck you Blizz.
Without detection, banelings can just burrow right into the mineral line and detonate.... Terran has scan but protoss is screwed against those kinds of attacks early-on in the game...
Wow, these are the lamest possible units blizzard could have thought of. What they've done is replaced the old race balancing issues with all new ones. No thank you blizzard I think my SC2 playing days are numbered.
i'm glad the overseer was replaced, as just like sc1, you just can't use cloaked units against a zerg, assuming they have lair tech i takes 17 game seconds to morph an overlord, if a protoss player doesn't have detection and is hit with dts/ghosts/banshees/burrowed infestors/burrowed roaches, it's GG
if phase shift keeps the building solid, it can be used to create an unbreakable wall out of 1 building or more if you have more than 1 oracle. If you can walk where the building was, it can be used as a kind of "Gate" in a complete wall-off, like a supply depot. I'm just wondering what kind of energy cost we're looking at, i think it would be coolest if it cost little or no energy to cast but drained energy to keep active like cloak
1 - Detection for any unit. The cloaked units are fked up.
2 - Hook the units behind the defense, that's ridiculous.
3 - The cloud thing. Against siege tanks... Who can't shoot melee?
4 - Those locusts are tougher than fucking zealots! 120 hp O M G...
5 - BURROW MOVEMENT BANELINGS + THE ULTRALISK BURROW ATTACK - Peace, i'm out xD.
The Protoss Replican are also awesome (copy a Drone ;) ), & Terran have the Odin but the HOOK & CLOUD FK it up...this is the DOMINATION of the Swarm..
@viddecool the zerg will JUST ROCK.... a LOT, what will be the use of any range unit with that viper, or why bother getting thermal, on colossus while being dragged right in the middle.
ugh, the warhounds are possibly the ugliest unit I have ever seen. They make the zerg look like scantily clad supermodels. Like the way the 'toss are going though. Looks like I will be forced abandon my beloved terrans for the protoss, at least for heart of the swarm.
loving the new updates, Long time zerg player and finally they can stand a chance against skilled protoss and terran players. Not OP if anything this will make zerg from being under powered to on par with the rest of the races.
Yop...this is the Hearth of the swarm...boost the Zergs to OP level(burrowed Baneling & Ultraisk...OMG...), & denied my beloved Thors (jeah they gave us the Odyn, but I like the Thor mainly in high numbers). But sweet mother of mercy why are they replace the Mothership & the Carrier?! Those units are awesome. Ok replace the Carrier, but not the Mothership it's th best unit what I ever have. Jeah the new units are also awesome but they gave an Odyn to the Terrans & rape the Mothership.
@draconic33 agreed, i didn't hear a single thing i liked this whole vid, losing carriers thors and mother ships? im probably not getting this expansion
@draconic33 it's just you, protoss lost their best air unit (Carrier) and one their most powerful and unique abilities: mass cloaked army (mothership) and their MOST powerful ability (despite the nerfs) -vortex/archon toilet. Terran lost nothing as far as i can tell, thor was cut but warhound = cheaper thor which is better in numbers as they can fit closer for better unit positioning
i am so screwed i always loose a game without my loser carrier and nexus combo!!!!!

I really hope these new features won't tip the balance. It's hard to imagine how adding more content to an already perfect game can make it better, but I remain optimistic.

lol ppl are whining already? you havent even played it, how can you know you wont like it? Im sad about the Carriers too, but oh well. Although im not too happy about losing the Mothership, i loved it so much! The only new ability im iffy about is the Baneling moving while burrowed, with roaches its not that bad if u have a wall, but Banelings can destroy walls very easy and your only hope is to kill them before they get to your wall. Damn reapers lol shoulda removed them! i hate them so much...

Remove the carrier? Another classic unit goes down and its being replaced by some crap unit... Please, just add some kind of "Brood War 2" mode, where we can play with the classic units with new graphics...

@TheManBeastify Yes, I'm saying that the carrier was an AWESOME unit, even if it was expensive and viable only in a few situations... The mothership was a bad unit! I said that in the forum even before sc2 release (and, of course, I got flammed by a bunch of fanboys)... We already lost the Reaver (BEST UNIT EVA!), the Arbiter (they gave us that danm Mothership) and the Corsair, now the Carriers r gone too... "Carrier has not arrived"

The first 10 comments on this page are people whining about terran being sooo OP. I don't even play terran. And no, I'm not in "wood" league I'm actually very close to being placed into Master's league. Quit your b*tching. If you're zerg learn how to micro your banelings and infestors. If you're toss then learn how to use Psi storm..

Terran are getting the most OP units, I'm not sure if you noticed, but a swarm of about 25 zerglings WITH the speed upgrade got devoured by that stupid shredder.

So, Protoss gets some expensive-ass units that you can't produce in any reasonable way before you've got at least 3 bases fully secured; Zerg gets some move-underground controls, and a new caster just waiting to be EMPd, and Terran gets new all-around assault machines that turn into monstrosities to kite everything there is on the battlefield.
We Zerg and Protoss players are really gonna start hating life when HoTS comes out. Fuck you Blizz.

Without detection, banelings can just burrow right into the mineral line and detonate.... Terran has scan but protoss is screwed against those kinds of attacks early-on in the game...

Wow, these are the lamest possible units blizzard could have thought of. What they've done is replaced the old race balancing issues with all new ones. No thank you blizzard I think my SC2 playing days are numbered.
The1Executor 4 weeks ago
i'm glad the overseer was replaced, as just like sc1, you just can't use cloaked units against a zerg, assuming they have lair tech i takes 17 game seconds to morph an overlord, if a protoss player doesn't have detection and is hit with dts/ghosts/banshees/burrowed infestors/burrowed roaches, it's GG

if phase shift keeps the building solid, it can be used to create an unbreakable wall out of 1 building or more if you have more than 1 oracle. If you can walk where the building was, it can be used as a kind of "Gate" in a complete wall-off, like a supply depot. I'm just wondering what kind of energy cost we're looking at, i think it would be coolest if it cost little or no energy to cast but drained energy to keep active like cloak

Zerg are too OP.
1 - Detection for any unit. The cloaked units are fked up.
2 - Hook the units behind the defense, that's ridiculous.
3 - The cloud thing. Against siege tanks... Who can't shoot melee?
4 - Those locusts are tougher than fucking zealots! 120 hp O M G...
5 - BURROW MOVEMENT BANELINGS + THE ULTRALISK BURROW ATTACK - Peace, i'm out xD.
The Protoss Replican are also awesome (copy a Drone ;) ), & Terran have the Odin but the HOOK & CLOUD FK it up...this is the DOMINATION of the Swarm..

@XPredatoR4EveRX 1-Why is that op? It's not like vipers are tier one and cost 0
2-So deathballs won't be as fucking op as they already are. And for siegetanks to stop sitting on highground shooting everything
3-You probably have no idea how it feels to be up against a mass marine siege tank ball, it will just balance it out.
4-They will ofcourse nerf them lol.. But we need something to brake those fucking siege lines
5-Get a detector.. And that's because ultras suck right now, they need the buff

ugh, the warhounds are possibly the ugliest unit I have ever seen. They make the zerg look like scantily clad supermodels. Like the way the 'toss are going though. Looks like I will be forced abandon my beloved terrans for the protoss, at least for heart of the swarm.

Yop...this is the Hearth of the swarm...boost the Zergs to OP level(burrowed Baneling & Ultraisk...OMG...), & denied my beloved Thors (jeah they gave us the Odyn, but I like the Thor mainly in high numbers). But sweet mother of mercy why are they replace the Mothership & the Carrier?! Those units are awesome. Ok replace the Carrier, but not the Mothership it's th best unit what I ever have. Jeah the new units are also awesome but they gave an Odyn to the Terrans & rape the Mothership.
Why?

@draconic33 it's just you, protoss lost their best air unit (Carrier) and one their most powerful and unique abilities: mass cloaked army (mothership) and their MOST powerful ability (despite the nerfs) -vortex/archon toilet. Terran lost nothing as far as i can tell, thor was cut but warhound = cheaper thor which is better in numbers as they can fit closer for better unit positioning
