  • At least give us the projectiles... Why'd you remove those? Instead of a beam hitting 6 times (as of now) give us 6 separate, awesome projectiles like this.

  • @BengoManiff Really, you only need like 8 marines. The mothership has fallen from being a one-units-slays-all craft, to a simple support unit used only late-game and only for the cloak it provides to warp rays and carriers. It really disappoints me. It's why I play Zerg :D

  • overpowered much...

  • and now you need 10 marines to shoot down "the most powerfull unit, the glory of the protoss army, the absolute best unit ever made - the mothership" -.-

  • @BengoManiff Mothership isn't supposed to be a 1 man army you idiot.

  • @FiloJacobbb Obviously you are the dumb ass Idiot, cause 1. it's supposed to, because they wanted to make it a powerful unit 2. it sucks right now cause it costs too much, needs too long and has a long tech tree. after that you need more skill to handle it than the 8 marines that kill it after 10 seconds and 3. if a toss has a powerful unit, everyone goes in the super retard mode and says "toss already OP" but if a terran has marines that rip everything apart everyone is laughing

  • @BengoManiff lol it's supposed to be a powerful support spellcaster, idiot

  • @FiloJacobbb no idiot, it wasn't meant to be, that's what it is now. toss already has 3 support units. if you're to dumb to watch the fucking video I'm sorry for you.

  • @BengoManiff Oh yes because the fact it can half the other players army, mass recall? and cloak your units doesnt shout SUPPORT UNIT! .. you're seriously retarded if you think it's something else, Planet cracker would be the only "1 man army" spell it would have but it doesn't. Protoss composition has a lot of supports and guess what, there is more coming.. the oracle? oh yep, blizzard didnt intend for the protoss to have so many spellcasters you dickhead.

  • @FiloJacobbb what the fuck are you talkign about, NOW THE MOTHERSHIP IS A SUPPORT UNIT, IT WAS MEANT TO BE A STRONG UNIT! can you even fucking read what I said or are you just fucking retarded?? seriously, if you are not able to read, it's useless to dedicate you any attention. and what a useless statement is your last sentence? because toss has/gets many support units it makes toss stronger? oh my god you are just too funny XDDD yeah support units own everything!!! we need more!!!

  • @BengoManiff Lol? Are you stupid? The main focus was to make it a strong unit but in alpha they realised.. no it's more suited as a support unit, the only other support units they have is the sentry, the high templar is an offensive unit.. and yes it does make toss stronger, are you bronze? force fields can largely mean win or loss, gtfo troll

  • @FiloJacobbb "they realised"...that's what you said ;) and no I'm EU plat, but what has that to say? You could be Grandmaster in korea but that doesn't mean that you are right. And that force fields can win or loss a battle is right, but marines, marauders, vikings, ravens, battlecruisers, thors, broodlords, ultralisks, zerg-and banelings, mutas, stalkers, zealots and immortals also can win or loss a game. It's the way you use them.

  • @FiloJacobbb And what people like you don't get is that you have your opinions and automatically think it's the truth. So in the end, the mothership was a little too strong, so it has to get nerved to something thats so bad that it gets taken out?

  • @BengoManiff No, they had said it at blizzcon, you fucking retard

  • @FiloJacobbb says the guy that ends every comment with an insult...troll

  • @BengoManiff Why would you even try commenting back with something as useless as that? I'll take it that you admit you're wrong

  • @FiloJacobbb no it's because you are officialy useless and that my opinion doesn't count in your little troll-world. why should I go on if you are that fucking ignorant? peace and stay useless

  • @BengoManiff useless in the way I'm right? gtfo scrub

  • @FiloJacobbb strange all I read is "troll"...oviously I can read more than you because like I said, you are useless, not right - two totally different things. and as long as you troll around your opinions won't count for anyone 'cause everyone just gonna laugh about you. ;) and what's also funny is that you are only like "I'm right, you're a scrub" instead of finally making a useful argument. anyway, go on troll, I love reading useless shit! :)

  • @BengoManiff lol this is actually pretty funny, You have gone from arguing about things you don't know about to trying to.. idk wtf you're doing you're just being dumb :P reply back I love laughing at your comments

  • why is it that all starcraft game look much better before release?

  • potang ina weak\

    

  • When they took that ability out, i could just see the programmer cringing in pain. I can only imagine how hard that would be to write code for.

  • Ah, this video brings back memories. Where can I watch the full one?

  • mother ship sucks in full release

  • Epic entrance of the Mothership. Too bad Blizzard has not kept this.

  • HARD countered by marines

  • @mrcusanelli I hate how people say this in the comments of every Starcraft 2 related video.. What? It's true? ... Oh.

  • @mrcusanelli 8 of them

  • @mrcusanelli hardly

  • interface looks a lot awesome than in the released game

  • erm you guys DO know that there are coming 2 expansions!!! hart of the swarm (2012) and maybe the third 1 will enable this

  • @3217491 and mothership is getting removed in heart of the swarm.

  • @Horaxlfa aw :( why?

  • @Horaxlfa well, its removed from meta game, they never said its not gonna be in the campain - like the other campain only only units (goliath, firebat, etc)

  • @3217491 EVERYONE knows that 2 parts are coming next. And mother(fucker)ship is cut in them.

  • Terran Strategy = siege tanks.

  • new theory- playable unit in Protoss expansion campaign.

  • and now they have completely removed the mother ship when HOTS comes out AND the carrier so in total protoss is getting 1 new unit and teran and zerg are getting three totally fair

  • @eperger ya i know, bliz said SC2 isn't about hero so they're gonna delete the mothership but they are making the thor a hero(makes sense)(not). and our new units suck

  • ipistol advert in background at 0:09

  • why those abbilities arent in the full version

  • just got canned

  • This looks like Starcraft 3...

  • The mothership became just a new version of sc1 arbitrer....

  • sc2 is a piece of shit after release. lets see how they fix the fuckup in HotS.

  • Well the nerf is fine, but I definitely want that entrance animation back in the game. I await while some other people come in arguing balance.

    

  • omg that animation was amazing

  • Blizzard was trolling when they made this...

  • the missleturret looks very cool, not like yet

    

  • yeah that whould be a awesome skill, what happend to this?

  • the physics was incredible!! where is it now????

  • starcraft looked better before release

  • @olegavi Everything looks better before release

  • What game is this?! O.o This looks like some kind of very early version of sc2...

  • @OriMedian this was when the protoss were first revealed in 2007

  • If this was in the game, I'd get a mommaship in every game. <3

  • @akblabla pros dont use motherships

  • The cloaking field is useless. You can only have one mothership, unlike the arbiter, so you kill the mothership and alll the cloaked units are dead. It's so slow, so it can't run away from enemy attacks. Worthless.

  • lol this would be so imba xD

  • it feels like the rendering is a bit different.

  • Matrix ship

  • If you had that time bomb ability you would so easily be able to do a mass recall without your mother ship getting shot down. Woulda been cheap if they had the mothership the same.

  • at day 2011-08 motherhip is WORTH NOTHING! it loses vs 2 missle turrets, give me back POWERFULL ARBITERS!

    blizzard brainless staff

  • Ok, ok... guys, I just don't feel like believing there won't be any buffs to the mothership in the future. Maybe the could buff it for "Legacy of The Void"? I'm really wanting to see it buffed some day, and I guess it could be possible.

  • I miss this so much :[

  • The ability of the mothership now is like the ability of the arbiter back in SC1. Cloaking field? mass recall? well at least the blackhole thing is new.

  • @TisyuPepper Not really, since the Arbiter's Stasis ability was basically the same thing just on a smaller scale. I miss my arbiters :(

  • where did you find this video?

  • The original entrance is so cool...

  • I LOVE the warp in image.

  • The Mothership is a She? But it's just a UFO on drugs.....

  • the mothership is op, if u know how to use it.. instantly warping ur units from danger is amazing.splittinga units army in half with a perfectly placed vortex will give u an instant win. so dont complain

  • for 400 minerals, 400 gas andn8 supply, you'd THINK it would be better than it is... but nooooo

  • I think they are doing upgrades only to Terran and Zergs. Protoss are downgraded al the time.

  • ultimate weapon of war???pffffffffffffffffffffft

  • i hate zergs!

  • protoss too op

  • Why are all crying that the mothership is sooooo underpowered. If you actually know how to play Starcraft 2 properly you'll know how powerful it is, just not a solo "OMG INSTA WIN" as it is in this video. At least watch some pro replays where they use they use the mothership successfully before saying it is underpowered.

  • @akblabla

    Dumb hole

    The pros never use Mothership. It costs too much and they only occasion that they ever used it was when White Ra... Or I think it was TLO... Or someone... Did it for FUN!

  • @02684139755 You don't even know who exactly you're referring too. How can anyone take your comment seriously?

  • @akblabla LOL name one

  • @akblabla There's a reason, because of the abilities to it. Seriously it's not even worthy of being called a Mothership. A mothership has all the kickass weapons and defenses, this piece of crap we have isn't a mothership. It's an oversize Arbiter.

  • @BaxterXenon Well, I suposse it is actually just the way they show it in this vid only when we're talking about lore.

  • @akblabla why is my old half-assed troll comment top rated lol?

  • @akblabla because people dont know how to play this game

  • @akblabla no mother ship compared to the arbitor is garbage, I rather take the arbitor that was well balanced then this gigantic floating piece of turd.

  • @akblabla the only time it is ever successfull is if it is used as a rush. in the late game it just sucks, its DPS is low, its slow, its expensive, and it gets focus fired to death in an instant. you're better off without it imo.

  • @akblabla i know ur comment is long ago, but 8 marines without upgrade can beat a mothership . I mean how is that supposed to make sense  ?

  • @akblabla its is underpowered.... its just still usefull when u have the money or as a cheese

  • @akblabla ive been watching gsl since open season one and pros do not use mothership

  • @akblabla Its so useful Blizzard left it in the game....oh wait :)

  • @akblabla No... the mothership is just bad...

  • @akblabla yeah i no watchu mean but no i uses it anymore cuz u cant archon toliet it anymore sadly :(

  • @akblabla Then how can we see it so rarely in pro games?It is underpowered u only think about its abilites , but the cost and tech u need ( not to mention supply) makes other units a better choice , yeah sure great abilities but... does it worth the cost?

  • @akblabla In my opinion the Mothership just isn't a generally applicable unit in normal play. It's gone from being an awesome, kickass unit to being a glorified arbiter. It's actually worse than an arbiter in fact, since you can only build one.

    Quite honestly, they should've deleted this waste of space instead of carriers for the new expansion.

  • Also, it loses in a straight-out fight against a carrier. Disgustingly useless.

  • @akblabla I agree it should not be OP but in its current status it is not only beat by 6 marines or less with stims but is so expensive players would rather have the arbiter back or just build another unit...

  • @akblabla Pros use it to show there opponent did so terrible they had enough money to make it

  • @akblabla Yea, watch the Game 2 between Kiwikaki and Stephano played for IPL3. True mothership skill used in that game.

  • Fix the mothership and give terran and zerg a unit that is really effective against it. Problem solved, everybody happy.

  • @Robalose you mean corruptors and vikings? xD

  • Can I have this one back?

  • call in the TERRA-TRON!

  • They will fix protos in one of the expansion rite??

  • The best ability in the game. Status:Deleted  FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

  • @szilike08 yeah.... the mother ship was the most powerful thing in the universe! They deleted most of everything cool because it was a little to over powered XD

  • @szilike08 Best ability in game REPLACED with Void Ray... DAMN YOU BLIZZARD! where is our call in marines for terran and build thor on battlefield and WHERE IS THE TIME BOMB! YOU CHEAPSKATES!

  • @1tim64 it got replaced by the PDD herp derp

  • @szilike08 If this wasnt deleted you would shout: AAAARGH PROTOSS ARE SOOOO OP!! I HATE STARCRAFT 2!

  • blizzard should bring back the real mothership

  • If anything, I wish the mothership still had its attack.

  • Wish that the Mothership could still do that

  • wtf ever happened to the time bomb?

  • @umblnd COMPLETELY OP

  • @umblnd It made the mothership into a useful unit... We can't have that happening.

  • yea not so ultimate now is it

  • I do wish that they kept some of the abbilities on her. but i think that the mothership should be able to kill a carrier 1v1

  • this is the starcraft 2 beta ?????

  • @BattlePeanut The unveiling, long before the beta.

  • Err, i think it would be too imba for 4 protoss if mothership had time bomb :|

  • why is time bomb removed from mother ship?? It sounds like eating noodles without chopstick

  • Comment removed

  • what the hell ever happened to the mothership now?! fuck you blizzard! got us all hyped for garbage!

  • this is like tormented soul ulti from DotA

  • MATRIX

  • Well, not only is the mothership underpowered it's just downright fucking useless. seriously who wants to use a giant ass blimp arbiter that can make enemy units invincible for 1.5 seconds and oh yea 1 detector nullifies the cloak, oh and mass recal costs way to much energy to even be remotley effective and on top of that it costs more than any unit in the game and deals noooooooo dmg at all, so whine about ur lil imba all u want but even u have to see that blizzard this protoss need only nerf.

  • god i wish time bomb still existed

  • i think the mothership is under powered now

  • The TimeBomb looks like the SlowTime from Diablo 3

  • The Protoss have a lot of units right now that have extremely situational use. I would say the mothership, archon, and high templar are used too seldom, but would get a lot more use if they were tweaked to be more effective. I can't think of a single zerg unit though that I don't see employed on a regular basis.

  • @SuperAnnuatedDoodle Totally true, but keep in mind that Zerg does have least number of units overall.

  • @SuperAnnuatedDoodle

    Wait Toss has other units? All I ever see is fucking Void rays. I wish the players who use them would go back to playing computer, They QQ too much when i kick their ass because they don't know how to transition to my counter to their voids.

    Void rays suck, and they should learn how to play.

  • mothershit

    

  • If you want to see the mothership used well search Huk using Mothership, it pretty much wins him the game XD

  • Protoss op :<

  • @Viktor0viktor0viktor player behind the keyboard>balance so just learn how to play.

  • lol

    

  • So all fun and games, but where is the zerg mothership ffs. All we get is a lousy queen

  • I was really looking forward to use the time bomb... It is the coolest ability I have ever seen... I don t care that much about the planet cracker (I think that was how the other ability was called) or the black hole but i really really wanted to see that time bomb in the game... :(:(:(

  • why did this not happen.

  • fuck you Blizzard, you turned the Mothership from a lethal weapon of destruction like in C&C3 to a freaking Arbiter on Steroids and just had a sex change!!!

  • -.-...this used to be the mothership -.- that's it! Bungie I now officially have beef with you!

  • @thatblargguy Bungie?

  • @thatblargguy HAHA bungie?!?!?!?!?! Since when did the makers of halo create SC?????? LAAAWL

  • protoss are like space elfs...............

  • THE Ultimate Weapon sucks!! terran just makes some Vikings, and they can two shot the Ultimate Weapon of F..ing war!

    this is such a fail blizzard, fix this balance

  • @iceboyhalk You are an idiot.

  • Mothership?  Haha...ha...hah...

    MOTHERSHIP: watch?v=SRyoFgAhW4c

  • Fail

  • @stealthzealotNot if everything is slowed...

  • what's a mothership?

  • Wtf?? How dó u make one of these???

  • they should have kept all the abilities and just make the resources needed into 1200 minerals and 1500 gas XD

  • The mothership sucks. It has 700 health total and pretty much every AA unit is a direct counter to it. It costs 400 mins and 400 gas AFTER teching all the way up to it. So...pylon, gateway, cyber core, stargate, fleet beacon, and THEN you get to pay 400 mins and 400 gas to get it. So all in all that is an incredible 1250 minerals and 750 gas. Meanwhile the 10 marines + stim that kill the mothership in 10 seconds cost 600 mins and 100 gas (includes stim upgrade cost). So let's see...worth it? No.

  • The mothership did lose so much awesome abilities, but if you still think about it, they're still useful. Unlike the Arbiter, the Mothership takes longer to destroy and buy cloaked units time to attack. However, they could've at least kept a few abilites, like the beam that's concentrated to the ground but in a more balanced form.

    Hopefully the Mothership improves in future expansions.

  • this ability is good, maybe shorten the time of it to like 10 sec. and make it the missiles do hit the mothership but slow it for about 10%. the orginal time bomb is a small range of the unit slow their movement by 75% (doesnt include attack speed). but this is an good idea to bring a 400/400 big ass mothership to alive.

  • I hope they let you use the fully fledged mothership in the protoss campaign, much like how you get heaps of OP stuff in the WoL campaign

  • The mother ship is actually pretty good if you know how to use the vortex thing and especially the mass recall.

    @borgoff55

    The problem with this whole single unit 'game-changer' shit is that it means that every protoss player is going to go for it. At the moment, it's quite useful while requiring a lot of minerals/gas to tech up and get it.

    Just because it's not used that much doesn't mean it's bad. It just takes some thought to use it properly. Sounds like a cool unit to me.

  • @BlarghenSnargle ive won more games using a mothership on ladder then not using one

  • the mother ship isnt evern worth it now... some "ultimate" air ship they took all the great abilities from it. i dont mind having only one at a time but if you have to really save up for a mother ship it better be worth it....

  • i wish they keep their lasers cuase they only use two lasers which it for some reason does two ........can you fix that at least

  • I think this is going to be only on Protoss campaign mode. Just like the wings of liberty. Terran has special units and some units do something quite different from the multiplayer.

  • this is especially for the next expansion with protoss.

  • the animation of the normal attack looked way better than the retail version. at least they should have kept that.

  • Reminds me a lot of the scrin mothership of cnc3

  • The protoss mothership is a very powerfull unit in alpha starcaft2.

    Now actually, this ship got less hp, less attack, less ability...

    It's just an upgraded version of the arbiter from sc1...

    Better recall, cloak building, and vortex is like the statis field...

    This is the protoss Mothershit.
