Replicant (Photocopier)

[MarcusKirlin]

OP



[MrMPuff]

The return of the dark archon would've been so much better. Still get mind control which is almost the same, and you get other cool abilities like Maelstrom, not to mention one of the most badass looking units ever.

[Yamsauce]

@memokk rather just have dark archons instead

[WungTung]

wow.... PVP with ghosts thats fucking stupid

[FluffyToss]

@WungTung you need to see the unit to replicate it.... so where do the ghost come from in PvP?

[bloodnivel70]

Looks great, but i preffer a variant of the templar

[LordofTheOlli]

Basically massive units are expensive. The replicant is expensive. You cannot copy massive units. Soooo that means you can only copy units that are worth less than the replicant itself. I just don't see how this could come in handy at all.

[DemonicTemplar3]

this is just protoss ver changling just more op

[SuCookieThaw]

@DemonicTemplar3 you retard do you even know what a changeling is??

[memokk]

how about copying svc and make ur own terran army?

[Kiniler]

Is it just me or did you guys also hear "we're tired of P complaining about other races shit being op so we gave them the ability to copy them"

[EvilNecroid]

copy drones and scvs?

[Mrvoodoochild1]

@EvilNecroid It will not copy workers

[Abs9106]

man blizzard were so lazy with this expansion. Most of the new units are copied from old units. Hardly anything thats actually new and unique.

[TROLLERSDELIGHT]

Might seem lazy, but IMAGINE the possibilities..

[kabanowster]

just copy some medivacs ftw... rofl

[TheEtienneLantier]

@andord123

too bad because this is what the protoss race need

[Annihilator106]

guys do you not see the potential, what would happen if that copied a drone or an scv

[Armalizilto]

So many ways to use it, abuse it, but is it expensive? If is, then >:{}

[DXJ3392]

@Armalizilto sorry to burst your bubble dude but these things aren't cheap i dont think they have release a set mineral/gas cost yet but if its able to copy anything then you know its goint to be expensive

[BLahgeek]

Lame.

[MrChrill7]

omg guys quit whining zerg had less units and complication than the other two races and theyre only adding 2 new units for them instead of the protoos and terran which get 3, i think this unit is super badass think about it you can copy a drone or scv and build buildings with them this obviously makes protoss the most superior race by far theoretically... theyyare just always going to be less cool than zerg LOLOLOLOOL

[pedobearishot]

um so u can make bcs in a few seconds right?

[minhduy322]

@pedobearishot I think they will not allow copy massive units, they always treat massive units in different categories

[balernoraccon]

@pedobearishot can't copy massive units

[Alm1ghtyM]

on a pvp match, both player make replicant. and copy enemys replicant. and copy enemys replicant. and copy enemys replicant. REPLICEPTION

[MichaelPlochmann]

Toss is always getting worse.  Takes up supply and costs lots of gas, not even at all. And now Colossus can be pulled off their precious ledges, not that vikings and corrupters did enough.

[TicalTTD]

a collosus does the same as tanks, for only 100 more minerals

[agustinbs]

Lazy attempt to balance the game from Blizzard

[fighterkirby6]

retarded unit

such lazy design

[demonicspire1]

Sooooo much rage at this unit. I think its great, provides a ton of options. Don't be all pissed off, you're stupid if you make the argument "ITS NOT A PROTOSS UNIT ITS ANOTHER RACE UNIT ROAWRAWORWAOROAREOWOR". 

[dra6o0n]

This thing should be as cheap as a observer, but with obvious limitations in it's use so it can be massed up...

High gas cost and Low Mineral cost maybe?

One idea is to make it replicate anything mechanical but that would make the Zerg much more powerful... And Replicators doesn't seem to be a biological entity... It's just a mass of protoss energy...

[dra6o0n]

@dra6o0n "Can't* be massed up"

[PANDABOIII]

@dra6o0n it should be hella expensive, last thing a toss death ball needs is sieged tanks in the mix aswell.

[KindaXP]

i really wanted aerial anti ground units

[Ceefaproductions]

@theepicsuperburrito just to clarify, by "that's fucking stupid" I mean "that's an extremely unoriginal ability, I am disappointed by the lack of creativity of the creators here. Someone mentioned that this is a banshee from wc3 just ported to sc2- pretty much what I was thinking." aka it's a stupid, lame, unoriginal idea.

[Kiniler]

Non-massive units, so basically if terran go mass bio the best thing you can hope to get is a ghost which can.. emp the medivacs? sounds like you're still better of getting HT's which can already feedback medivacs but also can storm and morph archon.. and is alot cheaper.

[diesopain]

Hey, Its the new Dark Archon 2.0

[StarsProductionful]

I bet this is going to be nerfed to something bad

[MsFriedchiken]

im a zerg player and im not saying this is going to be OP i just think blizz should give toss a real unit, this is kind of a cop out (save it for campaign)

[Photon2552]

What's the resource cost of these things?

[jcjs95]

i don't mind this, just like the banshee in wc3 hehe it gets fun to use

[TAStrafenitup]

wtf? Yea ima copy the ghosts because it's too strong and EMP their marauder ball while all my shields disappear to their EMP

[B1indFremen]

Yay! Now every match is a mirror match!

[TheLordDz]

Time to copy the Thor.

[MacintoshCrazy]

@TheLordDz

Replicants won't work on massive units, unfortunately.

[andord123]

I'm a protoss player and I hate this unit. It's a complete cop-out... I want something unique to protoss, not something that copies other race's units...

[cptmuffin]

@andord123 Protoss definately has the raw end of the deal on the new units. Zerg has the best ones.

[rhadetre]

@andord123 I'd rather have a Zealot upgrade that let's them jump up and punch air units in half. kkkkk.

[schustar322]

@andord123 I'm a protoss player and i think you're a faggot.

[andord123]

@schustar322 Hush now child.

[andrewkilroyable]

@schustar322 Shut up you retard hick.

[schustar322]

@andrewkilroyable HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NICKNAME?!!!!! Are you psychic?!

[andrewkilroyable]

@schustar322 No, you're just easy to read and bad at humour.

[MarioBrosClassic]

@andord123 fuuuuuck that shit...i like getting all new non massive units, for every race every expansion

[ShadedMaxe]

@andord123 So true! This is the only unit that i truly hate with HotS. I mean, seriously? :(

[2909ASESINOo]

@andord123 need a raven with protoss? need a point defense drone? i like this unit

[NightHawk92929]

@andord123 Completely agree, I feel like they just want this unit to be good, it's super gimmicky and I think should have no place in the game.

[Cosm01]

@andord123 Are you crazy? This will allow for endless opportunity's man, you've got the possibility's of 3 races just in one!

[balernoraccon]

@andord123 I get what you're saying but this is a unique mechanic, a bit unimaginative but the strategic possibilities are massive, this a strategy game after all...

[yamum0433]

everyone umad? taste of ur own fucken medicine now.

[sxyspaz]

@yamum0433

i hope it's range exceeds infestors and ghosts

[Rival31]

@sxyspaz It's probably going to be melee range and thus rendered useless.

[Freefall282]

ffs that's dumb. Ghosts to strong vs protoss give protoss ghosts lol all their units suck

[jokzzor]

@Freefall282 200 minerals 200 gas for a ghost.. hurray

[jokzzor]

@Freefall282 also.... why would I copy a ghost vs terran? yay emp...

maybe if they have nukes it could be fun

[SpicyHam]

Explain that to Newton

[Ceefaproductions]

fucking stupid

[Xenomorphism]

@Evilliboba

currently yes

[kelmorian178]

@Evilliboba Artosis tweeted and said they can, like the with Dark Archon Mind Cntrol MADness in Broodwar.

[Evilliboba]

@kelmorian178

That should make HotS games quite interesting to say the least.

[cowboysrock95]

@Evilliboba how the unit is now, yes you can replicate workers.

[2909ASESINOo]

@Evilliboba if you don't,copy a larva,mutate into a drone,make zerg base,NP scv,build commander center

[TomValedro]

@Evilliboba kinda like mind control in scbw

[DeGroteErops]

@Evilliboba yes

[BonneJonas]

@Evilliboba One of the guys at blizzcon asked about that.. And they said that u wont be able to make buildings out of it..

[Cubalisk]

Imagine if you misclick a zergling. LOL.

[WTFBBQ888]

This will be so crazy. Generally certain compositions are always played the same way, but now protoss has the ability to use units from all tech-trees and races.

[SEVEN7Hsparq]

disgusting!

[jcjs95]

ahaha neat

[progammer119]

@Kazzeroth: They cost resources btw

[Kazzeroth]

Erm, wow?
