I know things seem bleak for terran...but I'm sure there will be balancing issues at play. So don't worry.

When the game is released and wouldn't get good credits then Blizzard can make other changes to satisfy the fans in the third and final chapter of SC2 LOTV 

OgreB 11 pts

Way to over powered for Protoss and Zerg.

Terran is going to get hammered.

The only thing good for Terrans was the Widow mine but they are thinking of scrapping it already.

slashpen 12 pts

Terran is quite out match on these new units against Protoss and Zerg.... I guess because of being "Heart of the Swarm" title.

Darkreaper_1 58 pts

So i take it both the Mothership and Carrier are being replaced by the new units?  The Tempest does look pretty bad-ass but i'm betting it'll be nurffed in some way.  A quick, long ranged air unit just seems far too powerful to me.

 

I think the Terrain units looks pretty weak.  The Battle Hellion seems a little pointless.  The transformation seems to make little difference to how the unit operates.  The warhound should of been more like the Goliath from the first SC or made it so it could attack air units as, barring the mines, none of the new Terrain units can attack air units or are air units themselves.

 

They also don't seem to have any harassment/manipulation units as the Protoss and Zerg both get one.

 

Zerg look interesting as the two new units don't look like straight forward attack/defend types.  Be interesting to see how people use the swarm hosts.  Could also be a pain if you have to use a detector to attack them one they have burrowed (as the siege tanks stopped firing at them in this vid when they did so).

 

I can imagine that some of these units will be chopped/changed/removed/added as an official release date hasn't been stated so it's still early days.

The Terran's Warhound looks like the MechWarrior's Warhammer. 8-)

Protoss and zerg units are so powerful.

itchyflop 56 pts

 icestorm88  rakisy lol ice but lets be honest blizzard isn't good at balancing games look at wow they have broken that game so much that priests are better at dps then healing which is sad when pallys can fill every role and then some...so more on topic I don't see terrans ever getting a fair fight that's why you will almost never ever see anyone in a tournament use them.

abcdestroyer 11 pts

 zipperflipper The majority of players at tournys are Terran. Blizzard does a great job with balance, if your having problems, you are just a shitty player.

Its the player not the race, if you can't adapt to a specific race then your a bad player.

 

Same thing for your "WoW"

if you can't play the class , then your just a bad player,.

Zennious 7 pts

 zipperflipper Regarding Terran in tournaments, you are false. Look at Marine King Prime.

Hakkology 46 pts

I wonder how much damage those ultralisks actually do coz just before they unborrow, marines were under Fungal Growth.

banana23man 36 pts

A couple of new units for each race at the price of a full game! Free "F*** you consumers!" greeting card included. This is day one purchase for me!

abcdestroyer 11 pts

 banana23man its not at the price of a full game. if you werent so ignorant, you'd know they announced its pricing to be 40$, 2/3 the cost of a game. a fair expansion price.

J4m3sR4n0r72 51 pts

Is it just me, or do the widow mines remind any of you people of the spider mines from the originianl StarCraft?

LuciferAmadeus 5 pts

 J4m3sR4n0r72 well... at least it attacks air unit also, unlike spider mines. 

J4m3sR4n0r72 51 pts

That is true, but I was refering to their appearance and how they burrow undergrownd.

LuciferAmadeus 5 pts

 J4m3sR4n0r72 *Nerdy mode on* Maybe the name "widow" refers to black widow, as in a deadly kind of spider. Hence, it is a legacy of spider mine, but made much more deadlier. :P

 Didn't think of that. Thanks!

leoansa2 50 pts

zipperflipper 14 pts

 inso-maniac did you just say terran op? HAHAHAHAHA!

 

HAMODA 15 pts

wtf No Carrier ... noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!

slavagen 13 pts

Something wrong with a Tempest, it's like siege tank, only faster, can fly, attacks both air an ground a doesn't requires time to change mode.

DennisWZH 41 pts

all those looks IMBA, 100% sure some are gonna get removed before the final version comes out

Drakillion 93 pts

At 1:25, awwww dude! Poor zerglings wondering to themselves why they can't go forward despite nothing in the way while getting zapped by a Sentry.

 

Priceless.

psy_crowpk 5 pts

i dont like the tempest...its kinda generic. I wish they tried balancing carriers instead. Other units are pretty neat. Love the widow mine.

zaku101 17 pts

Wait why did they make this? Don't they know Company of Heroes 2 is coming out what's the point?....

BF210984 12 pts

 zaku101 its SC2! COH2 has nothing to do with SC2. Not even in the same base building RTS genre.....

wizardboyus 49 pts

Ryoushi06 6 pts

BSEE10 55 pts

 Ryoushi06 Imbalanced to a terran perspective.

Hakkology 46 pts

 Ryoushi06 True, if i was terran i'd be terrified.

Heart of the Swarm release date:  Q2 2018

 

Legacy of the Void release date: Q3 2032

 

Starcraft 3:  Is not going to be released because all blizzard staff will have alzheimer or will be dead by the time they decide to begin the production of the game.
